Mystery movies at my local #ClassicCinemas: you pay $6/ticket & you see a movie not knowing the title or summary. It could be anything! We saw #OhHi #OhHiMovie which is hysterical & scary. The cast is incredible. I would never have picked this movie from the description, but I'm so glad I saw it.
My 13-year old is at sleep away camp for the next MONTH & I'm enjoying all the things: a mystery movie at our local theater (more in the commenfs), a minor league baseball game w/friends & spending 1.5 hours chatting with a friend w/o worrying about getting home on time. This is glorious.
This is officially horrifying.
And there's my brain, broken.
HOW IT HAPPENS I want to staple myself to a passing cloud so I am blameless for war.

This is Washington at its worst.
We need to ban Congressional stock trading.
Won’t be long before we learn of an ICE detention center setting up in a former regional hospital
Sorry, no beds for cancer patients, we’ve got to lock up this father of three who works as a roofer.
I wanted to see mine too. I built the dang thing- I wanted to see it.
I know that saying the F-word in public is the least-worst thing he's ever done in his life. I'm just noting the hypocrisy for posterity. The media will either ignore it. His base will love it & say he's an everyman.
On August 28, 2014, Barack Obama wore a tan suit to a press conference & it was scandalous. Now, we have a twice-impeached, convicted felon, accused sex pest president who just swore while talking to the press. The Reuters article (in the comments) doesn't even remark on the swearing. Unreal.
48 and... well, I like myself more and care less about what other people think of me.
In my field (Career Development), using AI effectively is complicated by the cycle of companies using AI to screen applications & applicants trying to outsmart them with the right keyword combination. Applicants apply to 100s of jobs, necessitating companies to use AI to screen applications.

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.
new ArtsWatch dropping soon with resources and call scripts to yell at your Senator if they (like Oregon’s @jeff-merkley.bsky.social) sit on the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, which will be making recommendations Monday June 23 on the budget which proposes to eliminate arts & culture agencies
heads up to anyone in these states, your Senator is on the same committee and you can use the same toolkit

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.
This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.
Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”
Senator Alex Padilla of California was removed by force from Kristi Noem’s presser and handcuffed for his free speech. This is what a fascist regime does that rejects the laws of the US. It should horrify every American. Let’s stop pretending we are approaching authoritarian rule. We are there.
We had an Apple IIe when I was about 7 or 8. There was a game where you led a guy through an adventure, based on simple commands. If you told the man to shit, he would crouch down like he was pooping. Endless hours of fun.
#Boom I loved this episode on the first watch & I love it now. #NcutiGatwa brings such a rich performance, while being perfectly still. It has the #DoctorWho anti-war elements, with a peek at the capitalist war machine, 3000 year in the future. Millie Gibson comes into her own too. Grade: A
Until recently, the long-running British show was too often content with iteration. Actor Ncuti Gatwa brought an unapologetic queerness to the character of the Doctor.

Forgot my grade: B+
#TheDevilsChord If you go into this season expecting Serious SciFi, you won't be happy. Surrender to camp. While I don't love the visual effects here, #JinxMonsoon is fire as Maestro, God of Music. I'm digging Ruby, but I'm already pre-disappointed with the arc about the search for her birth mother.
#SpaceBabies Just no. Again, love the element of storytelling, love the energy of the Doctor, Ruby, & Jocelyn Sancerre #GoldaRoshuevel And the Doctor mentions the Rani when explaining his name, so RTD had a "plan". But talking babies are always weird & creepy, especially w/ CGI talking. Grade: D
#TheChurchOnRubyRoad : 15's 1st standalone episode. It's not awful. I can now see the throughline of stories & languages, with the coincidences & how the Doctor learns the language of the rope. The Doctor & Ruby have a great connection. But I will never forgive singing goblins. #DoctorWho Grade: C
