'Yes, I've told the police everything I know. I'm
innocent.' The woman looked at Schlesinger. Then comprehension dawned.
'I guess everyone says that.'
'Yes, everyone says that. And it won't impress anyone here.'
They carried on talking until the officer entered the cell and said that it was time.

I ranked some films set on water. ON water, so submarines don't count. No need to tell me which ones I've missed, though wish I'd remembered to include KNIFE IN THE WATER.
You’re gonna need a bigger boat: the 20 best films set on water – ranked!
As L’Atalante is re-released, we count down the best movies set largely on ships, boats, barges, yachts, steamers and trimarans. Submarines banned, as they’re under water

Somebody just liked me on a dating app and then asked me to review his book. I am aghast.

We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

@kenearly.bsky.social Like to see the make-up of the disciplinary committee; am guessing it was Alexei Lalas, Pete Hegseth and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Former (awful) colleague used to regularly pepper any kind of team / public speaking they did with "more anon" and "that's all for the nonce". Correct usage but real It Made Me An Axe Murderer vibe.
I caught my wife shouting 'nonce' at our dog. Apparently she had no idea what it really meant and has been doing it for years in public thinking it was just what you said when someone was naughty.

A deranged list, as these so often are. Inclusions, exclusions, absolute rankings, relative rankings - it's got the lot.
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!
