Maybe my favorite shot so far.
A photo of a western screeching owl perched in an oak tree. This shot is from behind, but her head is turned to the left and we see her profile. She is presenting relatively soft features, with semi-squinted eyes.

Here’s your weekend #owl content.
A western screeching owl staring directly into the camera lens from its oak tree branch. It is presenting relatively soft features and wide open eyes. A profile shot of a western screeching owl shrouded by oak tree leaves. Only its one eye is in view. A western screeching owl perched just outside its oak tree hollow at sunset. It is presenting sharp features as it is peering out, ready to go hunt for the evening.

Western screeching own perched in an oak tree. She’s sleepy today. No sharp features. Just closed eyes and oval in shape.

The last three movies Aaron Eckhart has done have cast him as CIA or ex-CIA. I just find that a little funny.

I know it isn’t kosher as someone “in the industry” to speak poorly of tv and movies, but I seriously cannot believe Apple TV+ gave Invasion a third season. This show is so poorly written that I think ChatGPT could do a better job. It’s got serious crappy-elf-first-draft-energy.
A selection of a New Yorker interview with a Simpsons writer talking about getting a crappy first draft written, with the following text selected:

“It’s like a crappy little elf has snuck into my office and badly done all my work for me, and then left with a tip of his crappy hat.”

How do I opt out of this category of alert in particular?

“public safety alert
Blue alert: suspect is Benjamin song, wanted for involvement in the serious injury of a law enforcement officer. Song is a 32-year-old Asian male last seen in Alvarado Texas. Call the federal Bureau of investigation tip line with information. If seen call 911.“

Of all the characters in all seasons of The White Lotus, I love Salvatore the best. He has a voice only two packs a day can produce and not even a mother could love. He sounds as if every word will be his last, and every subsequence word is both a miracle and a curse. Zigzag vocal cords.

Also check out these insanely defeatist lines in the final chapter. Basically saying, “hey all of this is happening SOON so just give up on stopping bad people from doing bad things.”

11. Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”
