Show me what comic you loved when you were 13, and that's all I need to know about you. (I can’t pick just one. 1986 was a killer year.)

Thoughtful take that further elevates my love of this film
This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

It has been brought to my attention that Kristen Stewart did a whole thing dunking on the Method and also demonstrating she knows fuck-all about it in an interview with the New York TImes.

Amazing thread
A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

#AppleWrapped is unexpected this year. I made a killer country playlist for my mom (explaining top artist Kenny Rogers & top genre Contemporary Country) & I worked on a production of Ragtime but I can’t tell you why “I Can’t Tell You Why” is my top song, finally beating “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”

This is so right! The best part of these lists is that they lead to new discoveries. Why should someone else’s list just confirm your priors?
Year-end critics’ lists exist for people to fight over, so I’m happy when people complain about them. But the complaint I will never get is, “I’ve never heard of most of these movies/albums/shows.” Yes, and? Why be mad about learning about stuff you didn’t know before from the news?

Absolutely tore through every episode of this show that we could find when we were researching the book. An astonishing resource and time capsule of gay New York before AIDS, its existence seems impossible today. Highly recommended. Gem after gem in terms of interview subjects.
If you are interested in old New York gay history, watch old episodes of The Emerald City, the first TV show made for gay and trans people. 1977, right before AIDS. My old film teacher Gene Stavis produced and interviewed in it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=2eQW...

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
![As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ugcmot4f3ool6cottht63wx4/bafkreierpoqvjgg5hqx3zhtlfmvrfq3vaakb3h5wppcdzrvs5jh3zr7ce4@jpeg)

No people on the planet will ever be AI. This is Orwellian bullshit. Zero people will ever be AI. This is no different from saying half the people in the country are television characters. Do not let anybody convince you that you don’t know the difference between a human being and a machine.
“We believe that in the near future half the people on the planet will be AI, and we are the company that’s bringing those people to life,” said CEO Jeanine Wright, who was previously chief operating officer of podcasting company Wondery

Happy birthday, Martha P.!
Happy birthday Marsha P. Johnson, visionary and fiery Black trans activist who birthed a movement. She’d by 80 today, and should still be alive.
Her legacy is one of revolutionary advocacy for global LGBTQ+ liberation. Her life is a testament to the need for sex worker rights & decriminalization.
