EUGENE VICTOR DEBS

Phantom of the Paradise *might* be De Palma's weirdest, but it's definitely his most fun! Absolutely fantastic movie.

This is what building resilience looks like - it's creating networks and pathways as well as creating art and it's also what I'm up to at the library

The snowman in JACK FROST, who is Michael Keaton but looks suspiciously like George Clooney

It really does enhance the viewing experience to know that George Clooney exited JACK FROST after Henson had already locked the snowman face

The Netflix and Amazon broadcasts are a great reminder that live sports is a deeply, deeply difficult type of TV that requires huge crews of profoundly skilled and experienced people who have worked together for a long time to look natural

We love getting very drunk in a hotel bar in Scranton and then watching This Is Spinal Tap on TV and continuing to be drunk and also getting snowed in and being in Scranton 🥂 Our waitress was the best. Merry Christmas.

"Ambitious white men in their thirties have not seen much, if any, decline over this period. Their overall employment is up...Educational attainment is up. There may be 1-2% of white men who dipped out of top 10% of personal earnings, though white men continue to be vastly over-represented there."

Oh no!!!!

Not now, haunted Victorian shoes

This is absolutely fucking bananas the way that these people are *so close* to getting it but still manage to miss it by a fucking mile.

The horns and whistles work What it's like to watch community activists stand up to a Border Patrol raid.

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things
