I have been trying to be less pedantic about adaptations but Let The Right One In (2008), big time
Conventional wisdom says the book is always better than the movie, but that's not always true. Here are some movies I liked better than the books they're based on. What are yours?
• Fight Club
• Naked Lunch
• Wild at Heart
• Institute Benjamenta
• Devil in a Blue Dress
• Picnic at Hanging Rock

As a genetic counselor I thought maybe, just maybe, the development and rollout of mRNA vaccines would improve the landscape about what folks in the general public thought and understood about genetics.
Now? My pediatrician is “squirrelly” about mRNA vaccines.

This is maybe the most black-pilling thing for me about the past five years or so
the vaccine rollout was the most effective campaign for the public good our government had overseen in years, and no politician will ever be motivated to do such a thing again. absolutely zero political reward for it

Chloe Weir got her first camera, a Polaroid, when she was seven, and she’d often bring it on tour with her dad. Later, she became the official photographer for Dead & Company, capturing Bobby, his bandmates, and their fans on her Sony A7 III.

I hope those with a modicum of power in this moment understand that what is happening is ethnic cleansing by way of our prison industrial complex.

My baby is so beautiful. However, I will not post a picture of my baby. So instead here is a picture of me from last year holding a demented creature of my own design. Your appreciation and praise is not only welcome, it is required.

I often think about the fact that if the FBI et al had not killed Fred Hampton, he would be 78 today. Younger than Jesse Jackson was. Must have felt strange to outlive many of your contemporaries by decades.
