new yorkers survive in the city long-term by traveling in a kind of invisible force field bubble that maintains another body's amount of space between you & everyone else whenever possible. the snowbanks are collapsing this & everybody is riding a knife's edge of irritation that is starting to give

Of course the intermission music between the two movies from the Icelandic director is Bjork.

Strange Days is just as flawed as I remember it - even in 1995, 17 year old Beth was annoyed at the cop-out ending. But it’s got style in a kinda proto-Matrix vibe, and the whole plot line around cops executing someone on camera sure had some resonance in the theater.

This is Netflix's NYC theater that I'm at and they're showing a preview for a Laura Poitras inspired film series, and Glenn fucking Greenwald showed up on the screen. I don't think anyone else joined in, but I booed a little. Fuck that jackass.

I'm about to see Strange Days at the Paris in NYC and I'm legitimately not sure if I've seen it since i saw it on release 30ish years ago.

The front door to my building has functionally been unable to open all day. Something in the metal broke and grinds against the sidewalk at an angle, keeping the door from opening. This building, oy.

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

My humidifier managed to combine with a poor seal at the bottom of my bedroom window to create a nontrivially thick layer of ice by the time I woke up this morning. Oops.

People keep trying to diagnose Trump based on the wine-colored stain on his hand without considering the obvious answer. (It is a metaphorical representation of his sin he cannot scrub out no matter how hard he tries.)

Thanks to rereading @markharris.bsky.social's Pictures at a Revolution, I learned that there used to be 4 theaters on the block just south of me. There's only one left now, my beloved Cinema 123, but I found the marquee for one of the others on E 59th.

IDEA FOR A PERIOD DETECTIVE SERIES: "Bertrand Russell Investigates"
Top logician and fearless humanist Bertrand Russell solves crimes with his powers of deduction in the 1920s. Every episode ends with him chuckling about what he'll say about it in his next postcard to Wittgenstein.
