Americans apparently think atheists are more than five times as common as we actually are. Imagine what we could accomplish if there really were that many of us.

Are you embracing low-tech ways to enjoy music and movies?
Perhaps you’ve ditched algorithmically curated playlists for vinyl and enjoy DVDs rather than streaming

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

@archive.org gives me a message of "Too many requests," error 429, however, I have only made one request today and no others in recent memory. As a librarian I need to use the @waybackmachine.bsky.social to check facts in the course of my work. I worry about the effect of A.I. bots on search volume.

This is one of the first times I have referred to the Wayback Machine, where I have reliably verified information of all kinds from websites of the past, to find that it is not working as usual. That's worrisome. We need the Internet Archive desperately and more than ever.

Netflix raising their rates again. Worth $240/year? I don't think so. It would be one thing if they consistently produced premium shows that they kept around longer than a season or two. Been a member for 20 years. End of an era.

Here's a tip: You can find all 514 episodes of the 1960s prime-time soap Peyton Place on YouTube (and the 1st 166 eps on Shout! Factory DVDs). Each episode takes about 23 mins. to watch. It is unbelievably soothing and, in its slow, ancient way, completely addictive. >

Man, this day. Well, 95 and 96 are fine ages, and Wiseman's legacy is beyond secure. I sincerely hope that whoever is entrusted with his legacy of more than three dozen masterful documentaries makes them easier to stream, to own, and to share. We'll be learning from his work as long as movies exist.

It would be a good thing for all of us to stop insisting that culture of interest to queer people is only truly worthy of attention if it is "universal" or "relatable" enough to win the attention of straight commentators. This is not 1995.

O'Brien's films are unique time capsules of rural American life using real locals instead of actors. Like many regional indie films from the early 2000s, it has vanished from distribution. No streaming. No new discs. It’s a gentle, funny look at "old vs. new" Vermont that deserves a second life.
