A few years ago, in what may have been my last enjoyable interaction on Twitter, I asked for movie recommendations. And yall brought the HEAT.

Let's do it here!

What are some all-time movies that haven't won big awards and aren't super well known that I need to watch?

That's what I am discovering more and more. There was a potential path to a workaround through Legacy Form Fields or some nonsense. But probably will break if anyone except the originator tries to view/use the doc. And this needs to be functional for multiple teams of folks.

Office is a work requirement unfortunately. Wouldn't be using it unless forced.

Printing anything is among the most difficult tasks on earth for me. I've had three different printers in 10 years and I mostly just gave up. Even if I can make it communicate, the ink that I used 3 months ago to print one (1) sheet of paper is now empty. Lucky I have print shops within blocks.

Job requirement. Have used Google Docs forever and almost never encounter stuff I want to do but can't.

Jared Wade @jaredwade.bsky.social · 8h

Fair. I haven't used it much the past year or so. But I was usually happy with the (quite basic) editing to docs I wanted to do, including bringing in images and moving text around.

I love Acrobat by comparison, have mostly always achieved the stuff I've needed to do and usually intuitively enough that I didn't have to Google a dozen things.

I have just concluded that there is functionally no way to insert a dropdown list into a document in a way that is remotely acceptable visually or even usable within a shared document if one were to overlook the shockingly awful way it looks.

Jared Wade @jaredwade.bsky.social · 9h

Almost monthly, I discover a new way in which Microsoft Word is shockingly, inexplicably awful at doing what should be a simple, core capability of a document program.

UMG: Get a load of this f'ing loser. Also buy his next album please.

Phil Lewis @phillewis.bsky.social · 15h

UMG responds to the dismissal:

In a statement to Billboard, a spokesman for UMG said: “From the outset, this suit was an affront to all artists and their creative expression and never should have seen the light of day. We’re pleased with the court’s dismissal and look forward to continuing our work successfully promoting Drake’s music and investing in his career.”

Apparently not a single member of the The Smiths was actually named Smith.

why is this a "major decision"? who the fuck cares about hillary clinton chatting with mike pompeo?

Jared Wade @jaredwade.bsky.social · 13h

Can't recall reading or seeing a thing CBS has done in like a decade — outside of 60 minutes. And even that...

i feel like everything bari weiss does is treated like she's a network exec in 1973 when she's really just a LARPer at the helm of a particularly irrelevant brand while TV news is dying.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

You won’t believe what degrading practice the Pope just condemned

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists The Pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires. Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance MINDS International. Continue reading...
