Frederick Wiseman Dies at 96: The Documentary Legend Was One of Cinema’s Greatest Masters Wiseman's 50-plus year career started with a bang, "Titicut Follies," and only got better.

In film after film, Frederick Wiseman watched with preternatural patience as systems revealed themselves through the tenacious, irreducible vitality of the people inside them.

I kept returning to his films while reporting my book, hoping to absorb some of that patience.

Such a profound loss.

Libraries can't afford e-books. D.C. lawmakers have a plan. The demand and price for e-books is up β€” and it’s busting the D.C. Public Library budget.

Your Libby rental was free for you, but did you know it cost the D.C. Public Library $59.99?

The e-book boom (and a complicated pricing model from publishers) has left library systems strapped for cash. But D.C. lawmakers have a plan to fight back. 51st.news/ebooks-are-e...

"The number of downloads...surged by 529% after Mr. Mamdani’s news conference"

"there had been 3,000 people on a waiting list to access a limited number of e-book copies"

"2,000 people applied for a library card over the weekend, roughly twice as many as had applied by this time last year"

A win!

Life tip: If you miss going to video libraries and borrowing videos or dvds, I'm delighted to tell you that *actual* libraries have dvds, *and* you can reserve films to borrow (whether they're new or old).

*Additionally* they have loads of films that aren't on streaming.

Oh, it’s just me weeping over the Carol Burnett spotlight in the season (series?) finale of the sublimely silly Palm Royale. She really did Something Good.

Books don't turn kids into someone else. Books show them they don't have to deny who they really are.

You cannot value the librarian code of ethics while also being pro-genAI. GenAI is a direct violation of our code of ethics.

After a non-Christmas (everyone sick but me!) we really made up for it yesterday - Conehead sundaes with my cousin and the annual kid-free friends group bash with hometown beloveds, some of whom I’ve been close with for 30+ years. Certain things are just ageless…

A (quite) young movie lover said to me recently, "Not everybody can afford a DVD player," and I said "How much do you think a DVD player costs?"

He said, "I don't know, like $500?"

Those of us who advocate physical media are maybe not doing the best job of messaging.
