A movie I haven’t been recommending until recently (even though I think everyone should see it) is “Shoah” - Criterion has a blu-ray edition. If you haven’t seen/aren’t familiar with it you should look it up and decide if you’re up for it. (This is relevant to your discussion on the podcast.)

One example of (word) evolution based on laziness is “disinterested”, which until fairly recently meant impartial until everyone just assumed it was a synonym for uninterested (you want a disinterested 3rd party as a judge, not an uninterested one - at least, you used to).

Well, with his aversion to vaccines, maybe he won't be around for long anyway.

Gene Hackman stealing Michelle Trachtenberg's thunder one last time.

This is the kind of thing that makes me believe in humanity again.

Utterly inconsequential, but I'll take part:

Demonstrators wave Nazi flags outside local theater performance of ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ | CNN A group of people carrying Nazi flags demonstrated outside a Michigan community theater performance of “The Diary of Anne Frank” in a display of antisemitism.

This is what you overwhelmingly voted for, America. Well, this and 4 years of incoherent Abe Simpson speeches (albeit with 95% more racism and misogyny). Maybe in a year or 2, when you're still getting fucked by corporations and billionaires, you can get a sense of where you went wrong.

So the inauguration is on MLK Day. I certainly can’t foresee any conflicts!

@scottaukerman.bsky.social I got nothin' of interest to say, just glad to see you've actually started posting on here. Guess I should check in with Threads again, too. But who's got the time?

I have no interest in Dave Grohl’s personal life. I just hope, for the kid’s sake, that he’s a better parent than he is a songwriter.

It’s weird that in a country so in love with guns we don’t produce better marksmen.

Just got back to the U.S. from vacation, so maybe someone can tell me: am I going to start having to buy embryo shower gifts now? ‘Cause that could really cut into my weed budget.

I bought this LP at Amoeba years ago for $1.99 - sadly, I don't still got it:

Hey, I came to this platform to get away from that fool! Which is also why I blinded and deafened myself.

@scottaukerman.bsky.social No idea if this is actually you, but if so: If you do Criterion week on SHS, please do at least 1 of these: Playtime, Before Sunset, Yi Yi, Make Way for Tomorrow, House, Ikiru, Branded to Kill, Schizopolis, Wages of Fear, Le Samouraï, Head, Kiss Me Deadly. kthxbye-ee!

I finally discovered that myself - it’s a great feeling. (Probably also much easier in my case, because I never intended for it to see the light of day)

OR WILL IT?!!!

Redundant.

Work related event - I’m going to guess they were SPIES based on the outfits. Hi, Paul!

Faulty? Did it make its way outside and attack passersby? Because that sounds like the premise of a screenplay.
