Against this glaring ephemerality of human connection, the suggestion that a hypercapitalist statistical model is in any way a substitute for relationships with other people, even the most casual internet pal, let alone your dead grandmother, is ghoulish and repulsive.

An astonishing percentage of Americans are open to car-free living.
The problem isn't attitudes. The problem is the failure to invest in viable options.

I'm going to float this nuclear take: maybe students are increasingly turning to ShitGPT and other deskilling devices because the structure of the modern university has made it impossible for them to acquire skill in a deep way.

Easiest way to improve the theatrical experience is to increase staff and pay them better. But that is anathema to business geniuses and so everything will continue to get worse until the only theatres around are tiny art houses owned and operated by people who love movies more than money.
All of this money spent on this study and not a single mention of things that might keep people away: disruptive audience behavior, increasingly poor technical presentation, every shrinking theatrical windows (or day and date indies). I love theaters, and go multiple times a week, but it’s grim.

"Audiences haven’t abandoned theaters; they need a more compelling reason to go," the consultancy highlights, sharing suggestions for how to bring fans back to the cinema in the post-COVID era.

James in West Seattle wanted to help expand whistle production, so he bought *FIVE* 3D printers. He kept one; the other four are going to new homes in the Seattle area and Tri-Cities.
Thank you doesn’t quite seem adequate, but THANK YOU James!
