A lady in the hospital labs waiting room has her phone game at FULL VOLUME. People, this includes the ads. You guessed right: It's super annoying.

.@risenc.bsky.social Thanks for the excellent obit on William Labov, one of the figures on the Mount Rushmore of linguistics. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/24/u...
William Labov, Who Studied How Society Shapes Language, Dies at 97
He laid the foundation for sociolinguistics, and he showed that structures like class and race shaped speech as much as where someone lives.

"A Blu-ray won’t suddenly sprout advertisements or disappear from your collection. It’s one of the reasons that buying DVDs has felt so empowering this year." www.avclub.com/death-of-dvd...
DVD is dead. Long live DVD.
Tech’s takeover of show business has turned everything into streaming. The only recourse is to focus on the physical.

I love black-and-white movies qua black-and-white movies, but tonight my wife and I are doing our annual viewing of "It's a Wonderful Life" with the recent Paramount colorized Blu-ray, and it's actually quite well done.
