Happy 34th birthday to the web—like writing and print, a technology powered by stewardship, not ownership. medium.com/@phyllisstei...

Frame One: "[both] This is the cup of my blood." Frame Two: "[roaring]"

You don't need me to tell you that The Nun II is thoroughly mediocre in all respects. You may need me to tell you that The Nun II is defeated when our heroes (nuns, too) consecrate a bunch of wine casks for use as Nun napalm and it kicks ass.

The Nun 3: Nun Nun Nun Nun, Nun Nun Nun Nun, Hey Hey, The Nun
The Nun 3: She Had Style, She Had Flair, She Was There, That's How She Became The Nunny
The Nun 3: Only The Good Die Nun

The Nun 2: Nun and Nunner
The Nun 2: Nun For All and All For Nun
The Nun 2: Nun Direction
The Nun 2: Nun in the Oven
The Nun 2: Gooba Gabba, Gooba Gabba, Nun Of Us, Nun Of Us

Maybe if I watch it I'll redeem myself. Like an ex post actress justification.

Mrs. Krabappel: If you don't learn Roman numerals, you'll never know the dates certain motion pictures were copyrighted.

Guess it's actually styled 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑗𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 2.

The scariest part of 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑗𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐼𝐼 is when Patrick Wilson pulls a guitar out of his receding hairline and plays some bone-chilling hell-nonsense called Elvis.

"I love Rosemarie DeWitt!" Name anything she's been in. Here's her IMDb. Pick one.

Someone once tweeted, "Is she your favorite actress, or just any woman in her fifties?" It haunts me.

Me flirting with the guy you're flirting with to get your attention at the gay bar.

Donate to Eviction Looming—Urgent Help Needed for Rent, organized by Daniel Shannon The bloot-length story: Along with a number of very talented colleagues, I… Daniel Shannon needs your support for Eviction Looming—Urgent Help Needed for Rent

Thanks to more generosity and support than I could have hoped for, I've filled prescriptions, hung onto utilities, bridged public benefits, and just about made rent.

Now that the month is just about over, eviction is last crisis left. Can you nudge me over the line? gofund.me/b7b275f1

nowadays you have to be saint sebastian just to get ahead, because of wokeness

<3 thank you

Can someone get this to @bebeneuwirth.bsky.social . Does anyone know Rita Wilson (Annie Lebovitz). Swear there won't be a dry eye in the house after the "On Photography" duet.

Going after search is an ad play. Obviating agencies in the production of “””creative””” is an ad play. Data mining is an ad play. An unsustainable business model is an ad play. VCs only know how to do one thing. Sheeple as a Service.

Wanna ask someone with a really superlative ass what it feels like to sit on it. What are chairs like for the rumpally licious.I have never experienced a marvelous butt from that end. I expect I never will.

The Past Is Already Here (It’s Just Not Evenly Distributed) Writing and print were technologies of stewards, not owners. Technologists have a duty to serve the web the same way.

Something that's been rattling around my drafts notebook for a while: if the web is to mean anything in the world, technologists must move beyond ownership and recognize our duty as stewards. medium.com/@phyllisstei...

Still, the historical time, the "dark times" mentioned in the title, is, I think, visible everywhere. The disorder and the hunger, the massacres and the slaughterers, the outrage over injustice and the despair "when there was only wrong and no outrage," the legitimate hatred that makes you ugly nevertheless, the well-founded wrath that makes the voice grow hoarse. All this was real enough as it took place in public; there was nothing secret or mysterious about it. And still, it was by no means visible to all, nor was it at all easy to perceive it; for, until the very moment when catastrophe overtook everything and everybody, it was covered up not by realities but by the highly efficient talk and double-talk of nearly all official representatives who, without interruption and in many ingenious variations, explained away unpleasant facts and justified concerns. When we think of dark times and of people living and moving in them, we have to take this camouflage, emanating from and spread by "the establishment" — or "the system," as it was then called—also into account. If it is the function of the public realm to throw light on the affairs of men by providing a space of appearances in which they can show in deed and word, for better and worse, who they are and what they can do, then darkness has come when this light is extinguished by "credibility gaps" and "invisible government," by speech that does not disclose what is but sweeps it under the carpet, by exhortations, moral and otherwise, that, under the pretext of upholding old truths, degrade all truth to meaningless triviality. Nothing of this is new. These are the conditions which, thirty years ago, were described by Sartre in La Nausée (which I think is still his best book) in terms of bad faith and l'esprit de sérieux, a world in which everybody who is publicly recognized belongs among the salauds, and everything that is exists in an opaque, meaningless thereness which spreads obfuscation and causes disgust.

"The disorder and hunger, the massacres and slaughterers, the outrage over injustice and the despair when there was only wrong and no outrage, the legitimate hatred that makes you ugly nevertheless, the well-founded wrath that makes the voice grow hoarse."

Why is so much Churchill apocrypha constructed in irresistible parallel.

Is it considered a fetish for the purpose of categorizing my OnlyFans account.

Free Press ‘Media Capitulation Index’ Reveals How the Nation’s Biggest Media Companies Are Responding to Trump The sweeping investigation into the 35 largest American media conglomerates finds many are failing to defend democracy and a free press against authoritarian threats.

"Media capitulation is a slippery slope. Once owners compromise their companies’ editorial independence — once they step across the line into compliance — the temptation to cave further to official pressure grows even stronger."

My statement at launch of the Media Capitulation Index...

If your favorite Python isn't Cleese before you're thirty, you have no brain. If your favorite Python isn't Chapman after you're thirty, you have no heart.

The Old Model never worked to begin with. Did you know the Times's largest source of revenue in the '50s was their stake in a paper mill? Blank paper made more money than paper with news on it.

Print was always dying. Now the web may finally fulfill its promise to replace it.
