Lillian Hall (Jessica Lange), an actress who is synonymous with Broadway, has never missed a performance throughout her long, illustrious career. Not for her daughter, not for illness, not for any reason. Yet in the rehearsals leading to her next Broadway production, her confidence is challenged.

One of my most deeply held beliefs about cinema is that there is no reason whatsoever for any film to have better graphics or production quality than Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008). Anything more than Repo! is diminishing returns.

The Crossfield-class is forever my favorite #StarTrek ship design. I love that it’s one of the only designs with inward-facing sections. Appropriate that it’s associated with a show that got bogged down by navel-gazing sometimes.

One of my tiny dreams is to convince the world “though” should be abbreviated “dho”, not “tho”. Tee and the /θ/ sound in “think” are both unvoiced consonants. Dee and the /ð/ sound in “that” are both voiced consonants. “Dho” is consistent. “Tho” always makes me think of this alien sweetie pie.

I think the only thing I learned from this article was this bit about the bunny suits. That was new to me, but absolutely fits.

Article text reads: LaSota, in particular, Danielson says, took the pandemic and the risk of Covid infection extremely seriously.
When anyone left the lot, whether for court appearances or errands, they wore full-body dust suits and full-face respirators, the kind that resemble a gas mask. When they returned, they would sanitize their suits, gloves, masks, and shoes — anything that had been exposed — using UV lights and sanitizer, Danielson says. "If one of us messed up the containment process, which I think I did once, then I was in quarantine from the rest of them for a few weeks."

The solar system is in most ways dead average — it’s a coin flip whether a star system is solitary or binary/multiple — but we do have that one particularly standout feature: Eclipses. They’re rare enough that the alien nature documentaries about us would be titled Planet Eclipse.
