This is why relying on charity to fund essential services is a truly wild policy choice.

If you've depended on vaccination, don't panic. Wearing a N95 or KN95 mask (you CAN reuse them, btw) in public spaces reliably can help reduce your chances of getting ill regardless of vaccination status. Same with cleaning the air.

I love seeing Zach LaVine in a Kings jersey especially after a performance like tonight for him

This is the first year in a while that I haven't gone home for CNY, and it just doesn't feel the same at all. I don't know a lot of the traditions, and it feels similar to when I passed the American holiday season alone too. A little lonely, grieving a bit. Like it isn't even happening.

I don't know what it means when you break a glass right after midnight as it turns into Chinese New Year but if bad things keep happening I guess I'm going to keep this updated.

I'd like to make a more refined watch-list for the upcoming year of movies with enough room to choose but not enough to be overwhelming.

To start, I'll try to catch a 35mm screening of Anora tomorrow.

Finished watching Phantom Thread for the first time at exactly midnight to finish up this year of more (but not entirely) intentional consumption of film.

Over 200 entries in 2024, just over 450 hours watched, lots of short films, and a concerted effort to watch more things that are new to me.

Screenshot of the Letterboxd app, listing new (new to me) movies watched in succession. From earliest to most recent: Triangle of Sadness, Christmas in Connecticut, Look Back (Japanese), Audition (Japanese), Blade, Boyz n the Hood, The Letter Room (short film), The Art of Self-Defense, Intolerable Cruelty, Juror #2

Somehow on a streak of watching new movies instead of watching something I’ve seen before! 9 features, 10 if you count a short film.

I managed to watch maybe 200 feature films this year. My total (273 according to Letterboxd) is overinflated due to all the short films I saw, but I’m happy with it.

yo! how are you doing on here? have you found your old follows here too?

I've been saying this for years about cars specifically. I shouldn't have to take my eyes off the road and shift my attention to a screen in order to change my AC settings! This is a safety issue!

Wild that the NBA still isn't on board, but I suppose it's someone's project to be like "okay I did an analysis of the audience on Bluesky and this is the % profit we could get from cross-posting here as well so let's make an account" and that takes time

I think I used the same tool you used to find the people I'd been following but since my account is so old, it spanned over a decade of interests some of which I am no longer invested in. It'll be interesting to find new people to follow.

Also, if you have any fun basketball accounts to follow lmk!

It could be good! I think I have to adjust to this being a fully public account, my previous bird site account was private/protected for most of the time I've had it. I hope you're finding your people here!

Now that it's been a week since Memorial Day Weekend and summer is off to a start, I just wanted to caution folks about covid once again. Friends near and far are testing positive. If you're going to summer conferences or large gatherings, please take precautions. Let's keep each other safe!

Two days ago I pulled out my ukulele and started playing again. Tonight I remembered a Danielle Ate the Sandwich song from a long time ago, and I don't think I've ever taken a look at the lyrics even though I sing along. It hits different now, I'm crying. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DC1...
