When you get a royal blue nano as a last line of defense, you name her Nut, mother of Isis and goddess protector of the living and the dead.

The goddess Nut (the sky) arching over and protecting her father, the god Shu (the air), and her husband, the god Geb (the Earth).

OMG the new interface for Criterion is awful. My watchlist is now completely disorganized and, in Firefox, I can't see any of the images attached to the films. It's row after row of this:

Just because I'm doing a James Bond challenge doesn't mean I can't celebrate #FemaleFilmmakerFriday! Tonight's selection was BRIEF ENCOUNTERS (1967) by Kira Muratova. I didn't like the fractured narrative at first but it grew on me. On Criterion. #DirectedByWomen #52FilmsByWomen #44 #Filmsky 📽️🎞️🎬

Got a flyer about this today. One of the anti- "selling points" is that the billionaire tax is a backdoor reform of Prop 13. Sir, don't threaten me with a good time.

Reader, he watched it. And then he insisted we watch one of HIS favorites from the #1980s. So that's why I can say I've experienced the magic of USED CARS (1980).
