I don’t have a lot of capacity to deal with this but I just found out the sixth edition of the Disability Studies Reader is out. Four years ago a bunch of disability studies scholars, activists & artists protested our inclusion in this textbook.

Apparently, WB DVDs manufactured between 2006-08 are succumbing to laser rot. There's a post on this board that has compiled titles with reported issues, and per the article you can inquire about replacements for in-print movies.

Hundreds of your Warner Bros DVDs probably don't work anymore
Due to the way WB manufactured their DVDs, virtually all discs pressed between 2006-8 are unplayable now.

1000000000000066600000000000001 is a prime number…it is also a palindrome.
It’s called ‘Belphegor's prime.’
‘Belphegor’ refers to one of the Seven Princes of Hell (due to the ‘666’ in the middle & the 13 zeroes on either side).
So that’s cute.

Phyllis Dalton! She also did Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, Oliver!, and Princess Bride, amongst others. Amazing portfolio. Much Ado was her last film.
Alas, she sadly just passed last month at the fine age of 99.

Read this yesterday. Beautiful art, amazing as a memoir. Highly recommend, but much like Hayley Gold's "Nervosa", might be best digested in multiple sittings, not all at once.

Retired librarian here. There’s another thing you can do: put a hold on the book once it appears in the online catalog (yes, even when it’s still on order). Many libraries have a policy of purchasing additional copies when the reserves-to-copies ratio exceeds a specified point (say 5-1).

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

How to turn off Gemini AI in Gmail:
• Go to "Settings"
• Go to "General"
• Scroll down + unclick all boxes labeled "Smart Features & Personalization" (For me there were two boxes to unclick)
Once I did that I rechecked Settings & found that no less than (10) different categories deployed AI 🤢
