Never passing up an opportunity to rec State of Grace (1990). There are few other movies for which I have such blinding love. Robin Wright was *luminous* in this.

Someone left one of these on my doorstep and I gotta say, the first thing that came to mind was gosh, those would be painful shoved up your ass, don't you think?

This is a farce, why would @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team @jay.bsky.team do this, and with no explanation?! On what grounds did y'all suspend #sarahkendzior?

If you were driving home with me from the salon the other day, this is what you got. (The hair color went dark for autumn and I'm suuuuuper happy with it.)

Borrowed from @cyborgapologist.bsky.social, whose version of this made my day earlier: bsky.app/profile/cybo... -- let's try this, yeah?

Post a perfect album from the 90s "that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam" -- don't get me started, i have about 100 candidates lined up, but here, randomly and not one I've posted before:

So, not a STEM course, not a traditional critical course, more of a "I know what you're being told, let me start by disabusing you of some things, and let's sort out the rest together." So far, feedback is good. We'll see, though. Here was the flyer, for the curious:

I control nothing about the way the apartment maintenance folks choose to characterize the problems I report and most of the time that's fine. Every once in a while, though...

I dunno, I just think that as human beings still employed in these professions, we have to do better. If all we're doing is "merely executing," what's the point of having a human in that loop at all?

They may have withdrawn those examples, but someone wrote them, yknow?

I think this might be my favorite here. Claire Schwartz, "Parable" from her Civil Service (2022).

Apologies to the truly sincere among y'all.

Frankly, I think IDIOCRACY was way too kind to the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and 25th centuries. But closer to home, I also have to say I'm not looking forward to the upcoming CHILDREN OF MEN / 12 MONKEYS season of our lives. (Credit: danmeth.com)

The usual 70 cL / 700 mL European bottle, not anything extravagant. Glenmorangie had a similarly priced one that I didn't get a picture of bc I got distracted by the Harrison Ford in a kilt poster, lol.

I just want to warn the rest of the planet that the duty free zone at Edinburgh Airport is massive and it will bankrupt you if you're not careful. (Narrator: She was not careful.)

Old Town Stirling has a serious case of "whoever stays open past 6pm wins."

Blue books never really went away, I'm not sure why anyone would think this is a new development.

Anyway, Roaring Spring still prints the classic style (and the green one too): www.staples.com/roaring-spri...
