Physical books. You own them. They don't require updates. They don't surveil you or collect and sell your data. They are a genuinely safe hallucinogen that leaves you smarter and more empathetic and with a longer attention span the more you use them. Free from the library. What's not to like?

The final named screenings of #nps2026 were focused on children in peril: "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (Dir. Norman Taurog, 1938, US) and "Bellissima" (Dir. Luchino Visconti, 1951, Italy).

Oh, Paolo! Not sure what Paolo Cherchi Usai has planned for his James Card Memorial Lecture at #nps2026 , but all attendees must turn off their phones and put them in one of these bags. I am guessing that this is a form of performance art related to the lecture, but you never can tell with Paolo.

I love a Technicolor dye imbibition print, but "This Happy Breed" (Dir. David Lean, 1944, UK) is a clunker of a film. The combined prints from the BFI and LOC were scratched up, but still fantastic examples of Technicolor. We left midway through the screening anyway. #nps2026

It was super easy to get taken in by the Academy Film Archive print of "When Tomorrow Comes" (Dir. John M. Stahl, 1939, US): it has been the black and white print in best condition to play #nps2026 so far. Plotwise, I am still judging Irene Dunne for going out in a hurricane level storm.

This afternoon at #nps2026: "Unter den Bruken... " (Dir. Helmet Kauter, 1945, Germany) is the tale of 2 men, their barge LisseLotte, a goose, and a young woman who throws off their dynamic. The print from Österreichisches Filmmuseum was in fine shape. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Day 2 of #nps2026 : the Shorts program! (Always a highlight.) First up, "Tom Turk and Daffy" (Dir. Charles M. Jones, 1944, US). A bit scratchy, but Jones' brilliant gags and Mel Blanc's vocal performance remain hilarious and delightful.

Hot take, I think that the “bumbling, incompetent dad” trope is outdated and no longer funny. Like if you’re an adult man who can’t cook a basic meal or doesn't know how to do laundry, then that’s not funny. That’s pathetic.

Note from a veteran police reporter: NAMING law officers who use lethal force under any and every circumstance IS NOT doxxing. It is journalism. Officers who invoke lethal force are ID'd publicly as a standard -- or were when we were a republic. Asdress, no. Name, rank, posting, etc. -- yes.

The AWS Outage Was a Nightmare for College Students

The outage impacted online learning platform Canvas, which is used by half of college students across the US, leaving many unable to access course materials or contact professors.
