Pinned
Just remembered you can pin posts, so let's revive my twitter tradition of pinning a thread of all the movies I watch in a year, so I can look back on them later.

First up:
Just watched Civil War (2024)

Like other Garland films, it's well directed, beautifully shot, expertly edited, gripping, yet strangely not really about much.

Not a criticism, per se. I really enjoy his stuff, but I think some of this films critics were expecting something else.

If your flavour of Christianity is incompatible with a secular education, you don’t have to get one! You can just STFU and go to seminary school and not ruin shit for the other 100+ students in the lecture hall.

If you’re rigidly inflexible and unwilling to learn, you can just stay home!
When I was a university student, a Christian kid in my Near Eastern Mythology class would pick fights with our professor, insisting that the Bible was literally true, wasting everybody else’s time on a regular basis.

This situation reminds me of that kid.
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

The best description of the Telegraph you'll read this week.
I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

The highest calling of journalism isn’t to tell two sides of a story.

The highest calling of journalism is to tell the truth.

And acting like a stenographer is a betrayal of your audience.
Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

RIP Tom Stoppard, among many other things the writer on BRAZIL who came up with the Tuttle/Buttle angle, which gave the film its spine. Plus if he wrote every line in LAST CRUSADE he's the one to thank for "I should have mailed it to the Marx Brothers." www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/ar...

Likely nobody is going to help you become an artist, writer, musician, etc.

But also likely nobody is going to stop you from being one either.

So it's up to you!

Library swag.

DAMN that was a nice library. I've not had a library card in years & it felt good to be back in one.

Hey, guess where & when my current script thing is set?

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"
