Have you seen the new trailer for SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE? The Dylan movie was about Bob plugging in his guitar, and now the Springsteen movie is about Bruce unplugging his guitar. Are these rock biopics or are they films for electricians?

Just because something doesn’t affect you personally, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care about it. We, as humans should desire to see others free from suffering

I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t.

Do you write? Then you’re a writer. I don’t care if you’re trad published, self published, or not at all published. If you write - you’re a writer. There’s no officiant or badge to collect. You write - you’re a writer. So stop waiting for someone to declare you one. I just did. There you go.

I'm not going to ask you whether you've purchased a bunker yet.

Let's talk about art to distract ourselves from the news. What’s something good you've watched or read recently?

About 50 years ago, I was reading political thrillers, including several by Fletcher Knebel. His 1966 novel, NIGHT OF CAMP DAVID, centers on a U.S. president who has gone insane. Signs of insanity include: desire for (a) an alliance with the USSR, and (b) annexation of Canada.

I have started getting spam emails offering free Nutella. I must admit this seems rather more appealing than the offers of erectile dysfunction drugs and the money transfer scams

A four-panel comic called Instinct is Weird. In panel 1, a yellow warbler looks at a beautiful nest in a shrub and says "I made this for some reason". In panel 2, there are five eggs in the nest and she says "these are my smooth round children". In panel 3 an egg has hatched into a yelling hatchling, and she says "Oh no now it's loud". In panel 4 she looks distressed as five hatchlings now fill the nest, begging for food, and she says "help".

Hello new followers! Here's one of my favorite older comics.

Interesting:

Meta created React Native. It’s used (with components at least) in their flagship apps: Facebook (iOS, Android), Instagram (Meta Quest), Messenger (desktop).

Google created Flutter. And yet none of their flagship apps use it (Gmail, YouTube, Maps, Calendar).

The Los Angeles wildfires are at risk of contaminating the city's water supply, with ash, pathogens, toxic chemicals, flame retardants, and even melted pipes able to enter reservoirs and aqueducts.

Several communities have advised residents not to drink tap water.

People are so weird about The Criterion Collection. It's a boutique label. They distribute films they want. Sometimes they get a title, sometimes they don't! Sometimes they're classics, sometimes they're new!

There are countless movies that will never be in it because someone else has the rights!

I think we can change the world by having protected bike lanes and secure bike parking everywhere.

Back in Nazi Germany, art that was deemed "degenerate" was piled up in the streets and burned. I think people are waiting for stuff like that to start happening. But we don't live in an era of physical media anymore. That art is just going to quietly vanish from streaming services one day.
