We've hit another storage shortage so putting out another call for your hard drives: HDD, SDD, NVME, SAS or SATA, whatever you've got, aren't using, & can donate to the cause it'll be used directly for the long time archival of NCAA football broadcasts (and occasional news coverage). DM me! Thanks!

Do Intimacy Coordinators Still Have a Place in Hollywood in 2025?
The rise of intimacy coordinators on film sets was seen as one of the most tangible wins of the MeToo movement. So why has the tide started to turn?

For Elle, I wrote about intimacy coordinators—a really fascinating and varied group of people—and asked them how they feel about the rapid rise and recent backlash to their profession. They surprised me. www.elle.com/culture/movi...

FWIW there are multiple funders/incubators/etc who have told me to do exactly this rather than actually build the automated thing I had come up with because the point of the MVP was to show that there were customers who wanted the product, not to illustrate that the tech worked or whatever
Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

It's absolutely something that should be called out when it's done but also some of the examples in here are satirical twitter accounts, Don Lemon, and people I've never heard of. I don't know if that rises to the "Why Are Democrats Teasing Homophobia" in the hed.
"The question isn’t whether Democrats can make edgier jokes, but whether they can tell a more compelling story about who they are and what they’re fighting for—without setting their values on fire along the way. Is that really so much to ask?"
Why Are Democrats Teasing Homophobia in New Attacks on MAGA?
The strategy demeans an important constituency of the party without providing an obvious political gain.

I've said this before: my dad worked on HAARP. I have a HAARP baseball cap and fleece vest. If it is a secretive super weapon, it has a lot of great swag.

they're doing something different with the HDR, gonna try to go in and figure out what
I’m watching via Hulu/Apple TV on a 13 year old 1080p Panasonic plasma and the quality of this SNF broadcast is noticeably better than most games I’ve seen.
