We say goodbye to formidable comedic legend Catherine O'Hara.
A genius of improv and physical comedy, her bold choices made us laugh until we cried in a career that spanned over five decades.
Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

SENTIMENTAL VALUE was an intimate portrait of a family whose present is informed by the past. Not just the sisters’ childhoods but also their father’s and all those who have lived in their family home.
Plus the home was beautiful! And there was a nice little dig at Netflix.

There’s a phenomenon I’ve observed from some on the other app who are Never Trump but have a strange love for Rubio and think he should be President in 28. They expect us just to move on. And it’s like “no dawg, the whole political operation is too far gone and must face the full wrath of the law”
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Reading comics counts as reading. Reading graphic novels counts as reading. Reading fan fiction counts as reading. Listening to audio books counts as reading. Reading a 10k word Tumblr treatise on Star Trek/Dr Who parallels counts as reading.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.
OMG - f*ck AI for ruining the em-dash for writers. I use them all the time. Of course, what a shock that AI uses them since they were trained off my voice and other authors' voices.
I'm a writer who has specifically been directed *not* to use em-dashes because "they mean it was written by AI." I can detect AI writing, but it is not simply a matter of the punctuation used.
