Just saw STELLA DALLAS (1937) at @paristheaternyc.bsky.social Zoe Kazan called it "one of America's great melodramas" in her intro, and there were definitely lots of sniffles. Stanwyck is fabulous, but this film makes me nuts. All her kid had to do was take her shopping! F*ck those snobs. #FilmSky

The Prestige
Why would a bunch of IQ-obsessed eugenist billionaires back Trump, a bankrupt idiot? Because he's a great distraction. Possibly the best distraction in the history of distractions.

We really need a Lot More information…. An unexplained death (and reports of a second death) at a Russian plague research lab brings back the fear of COVID’s early days. I want answers, transparency and a government ready to protect us!

Cycling from Woerden to Utrecht (F12)
As promised in last week’s post, this week we get to ride the new continuous cycle route from Woerden to Utrecht.The F12 is about 18 kilometres long and it took me under an hour to cycle from one end to the other. Since we already discussed the route at length in the previous post and video, I will keep this one a little different.
