And lately I’ve been thinking more often “maybe I should just bail out of the Apple ecosystem” but it’s like the fantasy of leaving a red state, anywhere else you go is going to have the same problems just in different concentrations

I'm looking forward to watching this. The Yoko essay that opened my eyes was Cara's 2008 series on her blog thecurvature, which is still up even if the links are occasionally broken

I apologize to everyone around me in high school who not only had to listen to my thoughts about Pink Floyd, but especially had to endure my feelings about Pink Floyd

Yeah, we super don't. "Presumption of innocence" is a legal standard for criminal courts and doesn't eveb mean a person is innocent, it just means the law is constrained from punishing even the guilty without proof. I'm not the law and my opinion is not a punishment

Omg of the things that struck me from that Lucas/Spielberg/Kasdan transcript is how Lucas treats these cultures as just movie character types, like they’re not representative of actual human cultures at all.

Why do people post it? I don't know man, but I've puzzled over that broader question since I started getting chain emails where somebody would add a false attribution or append a different ending to a story, and pass it off as real. What are people thinking?

I hate them primarily because I'm pretty sure they're overwhelmingly false, which both diminishes the few classic scenes that actually were ad-libbed, and diminishes the actual craft of acting, which is (among other things) making a line that you've delivered dozens of times sound spontaneous

It is definitely intense and disturbing. But when I saw that scene in the theater, my main thought was "do NOT mess with a housewife in her own kitchen."

I live in a State House district where the Democratic candidate has been an inexperienced lightweight for three consecutive elections. Of course I vote for them in the general but my only hope for actually influencing outcomes is voting in the Republican primary!

Even though Tolkien undoubtedly had lots of the details extensively worked out, I love that he keeps the textual role to such a minimum. We don't really need an entire chapter or spin-off series going into the history and politics of Dol Amroth spelled out; what we have is enough.

Maybe some of this myth is coming from the fact that many grown adults now were little kids when the film was released, and this is a variant of "times weren't more innocent, you were just a child."

A tourist driving in Vermont stops at a fork in the road. A sign pointing left says "White River Junction: 78 miles." Another sign points right, "White River Junction: 70 miles." The tourist asks a nearby farmer, "does it matter which road I take?" The farmer says "Not to me it doesn't."

I met an architect who said he limited the number of surfaces in his house – like, there was no cabinet in his bathroom, just a pedestal sink – because surfaces collect clutter. I was like if I don't have a surface for my clutter, the clutter is going on the floor
