I have to take an annual fire safety training for work, and I am reminded that I asked some of the folks who manage these things how they evacuate the NICU and apparently they have vests you can load up with babies

I cannot stress how important it is to check the laws of the state your child is considering going to college in, before you enroll them there.

INTERSTELLAR is back in theaters, so of course I wrote about it. www.vulture.com/article/inte...
Interstellar’s Most Enduring Quality Is What People Used to Hate About It
Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi spectacle is fascinating precisely because of what so many pegged as its fatal flaw in 2014: its unabashed emotionality.

It’s just frustrating that the right wing never has to do shit, even when they lose. Never have to reach out, to welcome, to understand, to moderate their positions. They get to be who they are & never apologize for it and people will blame progressives for not putting up with that shit
Twitter isn't real you stupid motherfucker. The algo is rigged and the trolls are bots.

I recorded a 4K commentary for a special release of "It Follows" during COVID lockdown that Bloody Disgusting called "perhaps the next best thing to having [the director] himself." I'm really proud of it. secondsightfilms.co.uk/products/it-...

this is why i always urge people who want to get into public writing to SPECIFY who they are responding to and STATE why that person or group is significant enough to deserve the reader’s attention
Who is Yglesias talking about? Who is he arguing with?
For example, who is the on other side of "Academic and nonprofit work does not occupy a unique position of virtue relative to private business or any other jobs"?
Not Harris, Biden, or other Dem leaders. It's people who annoy him online.
