I used to go to film festivals for fun. One standout was the North American premiere of I’M NOT THERE at the Toronto Int’l FF with Todd Haynes in attendance.
"Everything is beautiful."
--The last line spoken in Wiseman's final film, MENUS-PLASIRS LES TROISGROS.
The impact of Frederick Wiseman on nonfiction filmmaking was seismic beyond measure and beyond compare. Like how do you even begin to consider his influence on documentary technique or his decades of insight into how institutions (and artistic spaces) operate? What a treasure. R.I.P.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

We spent a lot of time researching after reading this and ultimately went with a DLX mattress, manufactured in Jamestown NY, after watching a detailed review for the model we were considering from GoodBed on YT.

Hochul press office tweet: This initiative extends mainly to 2-year-olds but intellectually you may be eligible QTing Nick Shirley replying "What did we just learn about child care across the country? It’s a great way to create fraud and launder money. Caution here…" to Mamdani saying "ameen" to Hochul's "Universal child care is coming to New York." https://x.com/NYGovPress/status/2009367062469058584

Terrible loss. Though career/life-cappers don't come any better than THE TURIN HORSE, a death-haunted film that's also a great distillation of his style.

Get your war on 3: ok I hate to act like a fucking dumbass but are we at war? I mean, did we ever officially declare war? Declare war? Who's got time to declare war when there are so many bombs to drop
"They have no shame, do they? They don't even bother to lie badly anymore. I suppose that's the final humiliation." - Ghorman senator Dasi Oran, to Mon Mothma as the Empire baselessly justifies another atrocity.

Am I allowed to say that I’m more disappointed in the #mets loss of Diaz than Alonso?

Ouch. But, also, yeah.
But what alarms me in all this is how the girls who were victimized by these men are largely forgotten. I want us to find ways of centering them in the discourse.
I assume what was originally a district work day is now an in session day.
I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.
Thanks to the shutdown, we didn't get the first estimate of Q3 GDP today. And private-sector data offer no good substitute for official GDP.
The shutdown offers lots of lessons about what private sector data can and can't do.

David no.
