Slept on it, and James Cameron’s AVATAR: FIRE & ASH is great. Unmistakably anti-gun & pro good old-fashioned strength of community. Oona Chaplin rules. One thing I don’t love? The hyper realistic frame rate. It sucks to have seen it like that & it’s distracting. 24 fps for life.

I don’t expect much from Bluesky, but not showing me a bunch of new notifications for old engagement would help. Like for instance, I read that DM 5 days ago, Bluesky. I truly did. You can remove the notification from my DMs now. πŸ˜’πŸ˜’

Increasingly, I’m noticing that it means nothing to double-triple-quadruple check that you aren’t accidentally signing up for promo emails at checkout. They email you w/o consent (even though it’s against the law). And increasingly, unsubscribing also means nothing. They. Keep. Emailing. Regardless.

Earlier today, driving around empty Catskills mountain roads with a murder mystery on tape as it gently snowed. In the evening, a glass of wine with a good friend at a cozy mountain inn. Now, next to a roaring fire, eating pie & watching The Holdovers. Thankful. ❄️β™₯️

The amount of promotional buy buy buy emails I got today is absolutely disgusting.

There's a weird collective self-justification among reporters on this beat that their job is not to push back but to be stoic in order to observe an endlessly fascinating natural phenomenon. It's all nonsense. He is a public servant. Demand decency, and slap back hard and fast when you don't get it.
