It saddens me that American Protestantism, whether the staid Presbyterians and Episcopalians or the revivalist low-church Methodist and Baptists or the stolid Lutherans in the Midwest, is dying as a distinct phenomenon. It's all non-denominational, Pentecostal or Mormonism now

Relatedly, whenever I tell someone—anyone—IRL about my idea or a) ban all social media by constitutional amendment AND retroactively make being a VP or higher at one of these companies a capital offense—kicking off a series of national social media Nuremberg Trials … they love it!

Chihiro from SPIRITED AWAY is the most millennial-coded character in fiction: - forced to beg in order to get worst job in the entire universe - incompetent at work due to being coddled by pig boomer parents - immediately starts dating her manager - quits after two days to move back home

ME: Obviously, it’s great that KPop Demon Hunters is getting a physical release—it’s never guaranteed with a Netflix film, and that’s a movie that means a lot to a lot of people. But is Criterion really the right home for it? I’m just not so sure. MY MOM: And how’s that wonderful daughter of yours?

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.
