The Skin I Live In (2011) Antonio Banderas. Saw this randomly at a $1 second run theater with a bunch of elderly people on a Thursday matinee, which only made the experience better.

Danger zone III: 113 outside. Your chest in perpetual state of near cardiac emergency. A dog runs at you from across the street and you actually pause and calculate what would be worse—to get bitten or to run—before you run.

Danger zone II: 110 outside, you walk into shade and blurt out loud “that is fucking amazing”

Yes. One, as a teacher you can watch the illness not only roll through your class but the entire school; two, watching a kid too sick to pay attention or learn or even keep their head up is both heartbreaking and pointless. Also, no one wants to be around a kid pouring snot out of their nose.

Reagan worship for some, anti-establishment/anti-sellout for others (Dems are pro-institutionalist and seen as sellouts to the establishment for a lot of people).

When I went back to grad school in 2014 they made me get a booster because they added a shot to the sequence since I had gotten mine. I am in my late 40s FYI.

Arguing online is such a waste of time. Every time I allow myself to go there I regret it. I just want to mostly learn about writing and writers and small presses and work I wouldn’t otherwise know about.

You know you are in the danger zone when it’s 113 outside and a hot wind blows and your body thinks “oh, that’s a nice spring breeze!”

It’s an English professor interviewing undergrads on their use of AI and trying to figure out how to rethink the writing classroom. It’s actually both scary and thoughtful. The headline, as usual, sucks.

The character you are talking about is played by Gary Oldman. It is totally worth it.

I have three and can confirm you will have way more burnout from raising kids than ever going to work. Going to work is like a vacation compared to keeping a single toddler alive.

Maybe It? We would pass the book around and read it out loud to each other in the basement of our house (We had no TV or telephone at the time). All of us eventually snuck the book and read ahead.

A man stands in front of a projection of the Sun, the room, sparsely decorated, is awash in a warm glow.

I have a fondness for Sunshine, even with the weird slasher turn at the end.

Would love to help with either.

This is my chance to remind everyone the reason why the FDA’s mandate was changed to include safety is because a drug company was sweetening their children’s cough syrup with anti-freeze…

I had my business writing students do futurist work and almost every group predicted widespread AI adoption followed by increasing distrust and backlash, AI collapse then reinvestment in human-centric services and they all recommended businesses invest in humans now instead of falling for AI

You just described Sedona

Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.

The death of local news is a big problem.

Music is the first thing you remember and the last thing you forget.

It’s any anti-Zionist stance: Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. That’s from the IHRA website

Rule 4.1. Serving Other Process

They can also appoint someone for that purpose if the US Marshall’s refuse: “must be served by a United States marshal or deputy marshal or by a person specially appointed for that purpose.”
