I never understand how these things happen, but as a point of information: Netflix is now carrying the 2022 AMC/BBC series THIS IS GOING TO HURT starring Ben Whishaw. It was not much seen in the U.S., I don’t think, but it is excellent.
'This Is Going to Hurt': An honest look at how doctors suffer in a punishing system
A new TV series, based on Adam Kay's 2017 memoir of the same name, depicts the unrelenting stress of a young doctor in the U.K.

A tremendously stupid, short-sighted decision by the Chicago Tribune that's immeasurably damaging to the city's cultural voice.

A bit of news: The Chicago Tribune has deemed the post of film critic non-essential, and therefore zeroed-out that post. My options were to take a newsroom reassignment to be named later, or a buyout to be taken more or less immediately. So...(1/3)

Picture shows LJ Pemberton’s novel, STILL ALIVE. Cover has a red cat skull on a yellow background with a green block on the lower right overlayed with severed monkey hands. Lower right is a pink block with LJ Pemberton and Still Alive in script. ****Longlisted for the 2025 Dublin Literary Award**** ****Named a MUST-READ book by the INDEPENDENT BOOK REVIEW (2024)**** A hero's journey through a dying empire. On the Road for a beaten generation. After V meets Lex, a butch painter, at an underground punk show, they enter a multi-year relationship that ranges from Portland, Oregon, to New York City, and finally Los Angeles, with V's family of origin ever interjecting with dysfunction and neediness. Her brother has retreated into a hodgepodge of Eastern religiosity and their mother's addictions are worsening. Meanwhile her father is busy building a new family, as sunny as V's childhood was grim. Leroy, V's gay best friend, has chosen rural peace, but V can't find the same satisfaction - anywhere. Ever in search of love, meaning, and temp work, V hurtles across the US, resisting the store-bought narratives of mainstream life to create a freedom all her own. With heady pacing, a recursive structure, and sharp prose, STILL ALIVE renders the much-maligned adult millennial experience with affection and profundity. In this story, as in life, there's no cure for living. “This is what it's like when someone else's truth reads like your own. This is what it's like to feel less alone." —Guillermo Stitch, author of Lake of Urine "This is a book for wanderers and searchers, a love story with all of the attendant cliches wadded into a ball and tossed overboard. LJ Pemberton has written a quarter-life raft for the dissatisfied and unmoored. Still Alive is punch-drunk and furious, listless and wondrous, brilliantly funny and sexy as hell. I devoured it." —Hilary Leichter, author of Temporary and Terrace Story
