I thought they were having trouble keeping the mothership open?

It occurred to me after watching it that there are probably folks out there who think it’s scary cause of what *Bear* goes through 😬

I'm usually on vacation at this time of year, but this year I'm not and am discovering that it's challenging to try to do my job, because everyone else is on vacation.

About 100 years ago, my great grandfather was working in a trainyard. He and some others were eating lunch under some empty cars to get out of the sun when an engine bumped the line of cars to move it. He was cut in half. My grandfather was a teenager. He worked factory jobs his whole life.

There are critics who I like and respect a lot that I just don’t agree with a lot of the time, and that can be useful too. There was a very good writer at CP who often liked very different films than I did and vice versa, but I accounted for that, and I always got something out of reading them.

I haven’t read him in years, but Armond White comes to mind.

Haha. I suppose so. If someone dislikes things that are pretty close to empirically good or for dubious reasons, it has to call their taste into question.

Pleated pants? What sorcery is this?

Currently trying not to swallow my own tongue over the fruits of today’s higher-ed email newsletters.

I mean, how’s your personal biscuit-making game these days?

Decisions, decisions

See, when you say something like that, some people may think you’re referring to a pocket knife haha

None of the stills available online really capture the Voltron magic but

Listening to a podcast at 2x speed while answering emails isn’t "learning." It’s just noise with a productivity badge. If you want real leverage, turn off your phone, sit in silence, and read a damn book.

Farewell to saxophonist Plas Johnson, who played the iconic tenor sax solo for the "Pink Panther" title theme. He said: "We only did two takes, I think... When we finished, everyone applauded, even the string players. And that's saying something. They never applaud for anything." #filmsky #musicsky

I hear ya, but this is the one thing I feel fine about barking “Fetch!” at it regarding.

If you have any way to get access to an Otter account, it will change your life.

I have not, but apparently I must.
