Like many Gen-Xers, MTV was so important to me growing up. I wanted to do something fun for myself to say "goodbye". This was a good idea. Thank you for sharing. bsky.app/profile/worl...
I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were:
MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles)
Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna)
MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls)
MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

What I Saw at a Maternity Ward in Kenya After the U.S. Cut Off Food and Foreign Aid
Photographs tell a story of two mothers determined to help their babies gain enough weight to leave the hospital — only to face little to no food again.

Watching #OneBattleAfterAnother for a second time and love it even more. So much hitting me that I didn't absorb the first time when I was too agog with the visuals, pacing & primary narrative.

Cleaning out google photo & finding random photos/moments I had forgotten about. Like my first slate as a union DP.

My final Directed By Women Viewing Guide of the year features 70 new releases (and restorations) that I have recommended throughout the year that you can now watch on streaming or rent, just in case you missed them during their theatrical release (plus some streaming films that bear repeating).

I killed my NYT subscription (so I can't investigate) but why does no one mention Megan Ellison? Maybe this article does?
She was one of my dream producers to work with.

Larry and David Ellison didn’t always have a close relationship, but now the father and son have formed an unusual tag team in their pursuit of major media deals. They bought Paramount this summer, and now they are hunting Warner Bros. Discovery with a $108 billion hostile bid.
