Watching The Island right now. It's an unimpressive casserole of a bunch of leftovers of every SciFi film you've seen.
But there's a shot where the police show up in cruisers with "POLICE" lettered on the sides. But when the door is open, it says "ICE."
It was made 20 years ago.

Stranger Things S5 is so disappointing. Just bad and lazy screenwriting and sloppy direction.

AI-generated subtitles are absolute shit. I mean seriously. We were doing better speech recognition in the 90s.

If you ever used clothespins to attach baseball cards to the forks on your bike, you grew up in a generation, at a time when things seemed to be getting better.
Don't forget those moments. Draw on them for strength. Remember the sound of the spokes fluttering against the cards. It felt like power.

OMG, I got it. The next James Bond: Aaron Eckhart. He would be perfect. I'm sure he could cop an English accent. But not sure they would need to.

If you haven't seen Jimmy Kimmel's monologue send off to Cleto, you should.
Beautiful. Heartbreaking and beautiful.
It takes a lot of courage to do it. And he did it with grace and humor and love.

Not a big fan of the Baroque period, but this Aria from Purcell's Dido and Aeneas is a beautiful of anything in the Romantic period.

We should talk more openly, loudly and frequently about the hard parts of our job, even though, and actually because, we love it. If you need someone to talk to, especially if you are an early career scholar, reach out to me.
You are not alone.

It is inevitable that, in life, we will sometimes stumble and fall down. The only (Spock voice) logical choice of action is to get up and keep going.

(Re-)watching IT and scrolling on Bluesky. Kinda surreal as I see pictures of Trump. He's like the Pennywise of politics.
