Jenn wanted salt and vinegar chips but we only had plain, so she's been dipping them in a small bowl of vinegar. she says they taste "100 percent like real salt and vinegar chips" save for the fact "they are wet"

"Content" is something to fill an empty vessel: it repositions your view of the world to align with corporations. Art becomes something disposable, fungible, serving a financial interest and nothing more. The word "artist" is right there; I beg you to claim it and leave "content creator" to molder

A win for Michael B. Jordan is really a win for Coogler as well, since their careers are braided together from the start. Coogler helped turned MBJ into the artist he was and vice versa. What a tremendous moment for them both.

the most delightful version of logging on to see what news you've missed

Dr Ramsdell, whose phone had been on airplane mode when the Nobel committee tried to call him, told the BBC's Newshour Programme that his first response when his wife said, "You've won the Nobel prize" was: "I did not."

To which Ms O'Neill replied that she had 200 text messages that suggested he had.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Finally watched Don’t Look Up and pretty much loved it. Remembering there was a lot of blah blah about it and not sure why? Apparently it’s supposed to be a satire of the climate crisis, but it’s all-too-apropos to the current moment without any analogy needed…
