love how the harvard business review found that the number one most common use of chatgpt, by far, is therapy. that’s really fun for people
who make their living as therapists, thank you AI. also, sorry people using AI for therapy, you’re not getting therapy.

the thing is i always “have a feeling” about a seattle sports thing & am usually wrong 99% of the time—to the point that nobody in my life remotely trusts me about it & thinks i’m jinxing things—but i am very very happy that today/the Mariners was my 1%

It might be wishful thinking but it just feels like something special could happen tonight in the deciding game of an ALDS that’s taking place almost 30 years to the date of the most famous moment in Mariners history (& still the greatest sports moment I’ve ever seen live!). #RefusetoLose 🤞

you have to balance it all out somehow, so here’s Chopin’s Nocturne, op 27 no 2

The woman who owned it and was always there was so wonderful. The store was the best kind of mess—books everywhere and she always knew where everything was, and if she didn’t then you got the joy of browsing through the various piles :)

It was the best job, and I still miss it every day—even back then we were always in danger of going out of business, but 24 years after I left it’s still going, still in the same building, and still the best video store on earth :)

When I was in college, the Seven Gables was one of my favorite places on earth, and definitely my favorite theater—right down the street from Scarecrow (where I worked) and Cinema Books. As much as I learned in college, I learned just as much from those three places, and now two of them are gone 😢

So depressing. I learned how to be a baby cinéaste at fabulous palaces like the Egyptian. (RIP the Seven Gables, the Grand Illusion, the Neptune as a movie theater, the Harvard Exit...)

BREAKING: The SIFF Egyptian, the historic and beloved Capitol Hill movie theater, will not be reopening. After decades of bringing movie magic to Seattle audiences, the space will now permanently conclude operations under SIFF 📽️

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"
