This sucks so much. I feel lucky to have worked with Steve for a time and am so grateful for the experience.
As the year winds down, it's time to share some news: my role at Flicks has been disestablished. I finish up on Dec 29.
In 12+ years at Flicks, I've worked with so very many awesome people enthusiastic about connecting others with movies and shows to fall in love with. It's been my mission, too.

I was incredibly honoured to have written film notes and an essay for Christine's Outstanding Achievement Award and retrospective at Hot Docs a couple of years ago. To be able to watch her work throughout the decades and her conviction was really special. She will be missed.
Every time I saw Christine Choy, she yelled at me—shouting praise, criticism, advice, advocacy; abjuring, exhorting, complaining, exulting. She always lived life with the dial turned to 11.

Lol I just woke up and have spent the past hour telling my friends how much my writing sucks so this tracks
One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.
