And keeps adding useful features! Within the last couple years they added a highlighting/notetaking system. I can write notes as I read, then export notes and highlights to markdown or drag them to another program. It makes clear what's a quote, what's my own writing, and adds a citation.

*crowd at a concert in the **very** near future, when soupjan is fully recovered & well enough to tour*

FOURTH SOUP FOURTH SOUP FOURTH SOUP FOURTH SOUP*

even if that soup is eaten in oregon again, we'll take it

it is very oregon, though, where soupjan spent a meaningful part of his childhood

later says the whole 50 soups thing was just a joke and he never meant it to be taken seriously.

the project produces one of the most beautiful albums known to mankind, though

also photos of soupjan in concert with enormous cans of soup strapped to his back like wings

Ozymandias - As Read by Bryan Cranston: Breaking Bad
YouTube video by amc+ Ozymandias - As Read by Bryan Cranston: Breaking Bad

just came across this ad AMC posted a few days before Ozymandias aired. probably even more effective in hindsight, but wow.

Screenshot from the attached link.

Interviewer: You mentioned Baby Holly. She broke a lot of hearts and there's a campaign to get the actress nominated for an Emmy next year. We heard her first words, we saw her fear. How did you get her to do that?

Moira Walley-Beckett: You never know what youโ€™re going to get with a tiny little person because beautiful little actresses of their age donโ€™t really know whatโ€™s happening. And we have two baby Hollys and their moms are always right there. There are enormous restrictions when working with children that are appropriate in terms of you only get them for 20 minute increments. This is really emotional stuff. We really just kind of got lucky that the baby Hollys were giving us what we needed within a scene. Certainly, seeing Skyler pounding on the window of a pickup truck was really scary. But in the restroom scene with Bryan, her mommy was just three feet away. And I didnโ€™t script the baby saying โ€œMama.โ€ I scripted that Walter would come to it himself as he stood Baby Holly up and looked in her face and realized he was doing the wrong thing by her. And then, when he stood her up, and she looked over his shoulder at her 'Mama' and started asking for her, Bryan the consummate actor rolled with it. We just got some movie magic. It was just incredible. It was more than I could have hoped for โ€” it was like the moment that I wrote on meth.

Came here to say this. What an amazing moment. I had to go look up the interview again.

I'm also shocked it doesn't seem to be widely known that Trump is on the record saying of Epstein, โ€œIt is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it โ€” Jeffrey enjoys his social life.โ€

You Want Another Rap You canโ€™t separate Drake from Toronto or Heems from Queens. Young Cardomom and HAB rap like they are from Kampala, Uganda. Because they are.

While looking up this song I came across this blog post by him, about the duo's first song, about a Ugandan street food, but also about "identity, migration, and pride"

The Lost Dogs! I've never heard this album before. Think I discovered them a few years before Gene died and I never listened to their earlier stuff

1) Snowpiercer for most interesting. We tried geoengineering to slow climate change, overdid the particles in the atmosphere, and plunged the earth into a catastrophic ice age.

Not much science beyond the setup, but Bong Joon Ho really knows how to direct a film and Tilda Swinton kills it.

Hey, go do this, please. I have health insurance through the ACA, and if this rule went into effect, it would mean that while I'd still be paying a ridiculous amount in premiums, the plans I'd be able to get wouldn't actually cover my health needs.

causing them severe harm. I strongly oppose this rule.

Note: Per Parker's post, I think I was inaccurate in saying "take away their health insurance;" it would take away an essential part of health insurance for trans people.
