If you want to appreciate the Sinners' cinematography win and learn a lot about technology and who it's for, reading up on how traditional film treats black skin is going to be really eye-opening if you've never taken the journey.

CONAN: “For the first time since 2012 no British people are nominated for Best actor or best Actress… a British spokesperson commented, ‘Yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles.’" #Oscars
‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."
It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.
On Long COVID Awareness Day let me make it simple for you: you can try to forget about COVID and how it can ruin your life all you want...but COVID won't forget about you. open.substack.com/pub/julialee...

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

As difficult as it is to scale infrastructure…
…the hardest thing is to scale people.
Yet technical founders spend most of their time on tech, because it’s interesting.
Exactly wrong. That’s what you’re good at hiring for.
Go solve the more important, harder problem.
Remember that no one can handle criticism worse than the US government
Folks who both ignore our six years of COVID-19 research and the harmful impacts of gen AI are only equipt to lead us into the apocalypse.
SLOMW Season Recap:
I want so much less of the guys.
When Jessi finally divorces Jordan I never want to see him again. I never want to see Dakota again, he's so self-aware and deliberately hurtful.
Watching women supporting each other through the lows and highs is what makes this show work.
SLOMW Ep. 10:
Ending the show with that question for the Bachelorette to air in a couple weeks is marketing gold.
SLOMW Ep. 9:
I want more Mayci and Mikayla.
But also, I don't believe Jace is good for Mikayla. Like he knows too.
SLOMW Ep. 8:
I do want all of dad tok to loose.
Ep. 7 cont.
I seriously feel like im being fucked with. Why are there so many dad dates?
Conner being into magic is very cute though. Are they leaning into the idea that these men are also socially wives in their own way as their wives seek more modern roles? 🤔
Ep. 7 cont.
What Zac doesn't want to say is, "I need a Mommy, and I'm too jealous of your success."
Jen deserves so much better, at least someone who gets her sense of humor 😤
Ep 7 cont.
Zac not being able to handle parenthood is, unsurprising 🙄
A breast augmentation before on the Bachelorette is so wild 🤣🤣🤣
SLOMW Ep 7:
There's a lot less to bitch about when the show is actually centered around the wives. Shocker.
SLOMW Ep 6:
"Why did Dakota go?" that's a great question.
Ep 5 cont.
My theory is Jordan is sleeping with a producer or has a crush on the one that keeps coming up with ideas like the truth box and calling Dakota.
Ep 5 cont.
Jacob not hearing his wife say she doesn't need help with ideas but the execution, and him not setting up a metroicool account instead of invalidating her?
Jessi is so funny
SLOMW Ep 5:
I do really like their new show intro dresses and scenes 😍
I'm trying really hard to not complain about this very gay hot dog date the men are going on...
Ep 4 cont.
Inviting that poor man (Harry) to the house is crazy.
Those poor babies.
