My understanding was this was supposed to be a streaming film but the stars protested it should be in theaters, so it eventually got a theatrical release. Fitting it into existing commitments by the theaters may have contributed to it not lasting long in theaters.

Hey, if you’re too busy to play with us, we’ll make our own entertainment!

They’re on display in the bottom drawer of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of the Leopard”.

How to find “undisclosed” videos in the Epstein files.

Oh - and, looking slightly away from them, yawn widely with your eyes closed, then lick your lips a few times.

I just offer the back of my hand, below the height of her head, a couple feet away, then hold still. To the cat, it’s a very non-threatening position, and they can decide whether to engage or not. (I usually get to pet the kitty!)

I use my phone to video under the couch / bed / bureau, so that I know where to look and how far back it is.

Her ear is purple because the light is coming from the right. The top of her ear is in shadow - but it’s also being lit from underneath, through the thin skin of her ears. And her ears are pink because of her skin color, her fur color, and the blood running through. Blue/twilight shading from being in the shade, mixed with being underlit with pink, is purple.

First off, it’s been a decade or two since I saw the movie. That said, there’s a bunch of questionable content there, but I would argue that noticing and pointing out the glasses indentations isn’t one of them. People do notice and put emphasis on different things.

For example, in this old reddit thread, a man is a dead ringer for a robbery suspect, down to the clothes he was wearing. But one person on the jury was a professional seamstress, and pointed out that the sewn-in pleats on the shirt the man was wearing vs the pleats on the suspect’s shirt were completely different. No one - not the prosecutor, the defendant’s lawyers, not the judge, not the defendant himself - noticed the seams or thought they were significant. But that seamstress did.

In both cases, this wasn’t something they sought out to bring in from the outside, it was knowledge that they already had that they applied to the case. And I would argue that that’s part of the responsibility of a jury. If I was on a jury listening to an audio recording that included … I dunno, a plane engine or a train engine, and there was a plane mechanic or a train enthusiast on the jury, I would hope they’d point out whether the recording with the engine did or didn’t match the suspect’s. Because I certainly couldn’t tell engine sounds apart, but someone who’s around them all day could, and that’s certainly relevant information.

I’m so glad he’s feeling better!

Local community scrip?

But … but why would you open the window in -5°c?

While the main stages will be in London, the show will be shot all over the world

They’re also targeting a release date sometime in 2028.

You monster!!

No idea if it’s true or not but there was a rumor back in the day, that “natural flavors” was code for just a tiny bit of catnip essence.

In 2024, creative industries minister Chris Bryant admitted that Brexit had made touring in Europe “simply not economically viable” for many artists.

It’s an interesting look into older architecture, but I feel many architects today have higher priorities than making sure the house faces South and has thick walls - like getting the houses oriented along whatever street they put in and not having the house cost the same as a medieval castle. I think what’s most disappointing is that, in the end, the only “changes” the author even considers making are moving a desk and maybe planting a tree.

I appreciate the article, I’m just disappointed in the author.

Part 4.

All in the Family had seven direct or indirect spinoffs: Maude; Good Times (a Maude spinoff); The Jeffersons; Checking In (a Jeffersons spinoff); Archie Bunker’s Place; Gloria; and 704 Hauser.

GenX has never held any type of power, nor will they ever - not political, not economic, not financial. The Boomers were always like “Wait your turn”, but they never bothered turning anything over regardless of what we fought for, or how hard.

And now the Millennials have come up on the other side. And I’m just so tired of fighting to make things happen, or even just to try to preserve things, that that’s okay. I did what I could to make things better, and I’m happy for a less weary cohort to take over.
