The poster is advocating "a quarter [liter] per meal", or 250 ml (8.5 oz).

I remember in the film ZAZIE DANS LE METRO there's a whole scene discussing whether some guy drinks an entire bottle (mark of a "real man") or half a bottle of wine at lunch.

(I've had another @jaythechou.bsky.social mashup of Paddington & Caligari as my cover photo on this site since day 1)

Greetings from Spain, where we invented tapas, and where having "a few different bits of leftovers" in one's home is called a "cena de resurrección" (resurrection dinner).

(Love the coincidence-- I had a dream last night about this movie [surely because I'd just listened to the @randomhorror9.bsky.social pod episode about it].)

Side note: It's why Dickens novels really work as audiobooks (with a good narrator) because he assumed that his works would often be read aloud as group entertainment.

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

In some countries the office that registers babies' names can refuse if the parents present a name that could be harmful to the child or offensive to others. I asked a French official where he'd draw the line & he told me about parents who wanted to name their kid Obelix (an obese cartoon character)

For people who have already seen SECONDS, @randomhorror9.bsky.social podcast did a really interesting episode unpacking the themes of the film.

Ultimate autumnal/spooky season mood. "Horror for people who don't like horror." And for those who do, of course. Watching Rock Hudson's performance, I can't think of any other top-tier movie star (still near the height of their career) who made a film like this.

Being a hat person myself, I definitely appreciate this hat.

Yes, of course; you always share really interesting articles.
I just thought it was a funny headline (probably not chosen by the writer).

Citizeness Kane @citizenesskane.bsky.social · 4d

This headline is like asking, "Why do so many women have toenails now?" Long hair (full disclosure: I have it) never went away. It has historically always been the norm. We associate the 1920s with flapper bobs but even then lots of women kept their hair long.

Not-a-movie winning the box office feels like a first? Am I wrong?

Box Office: Taylor Swift’s ‘Showgirl’ Rocks at No. 1 as Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Smashing Machine’ Bombs

Taylor Swift‘s Life of a Showgirl special theatrical event is rocking at the domestic box office, where it’s headed for a first-place finish with a weekend haul of $28 million to $32 million from 3,702 theaters, according to estimates from Swift’s team and partner AMC Theatres. Some distributors believe it could even approach $35 million.

I saw the "not-a-movie" with my Swiftie daughter tonight & we had a lovely time. I've always enjoyed music documentaries on the big screen, and although as cinema this one's not "Summer of Soul" level (but what is?), the audience definitely enjoyed it.

"Two mates [i.e. white men] chatting" w/ "minimal [i.e. no] prep" is a format I cannot stand. So many podcasts, such an easy easy way to separate wheat from chaff. There are lots of very smart, conscientious people making exhaustively researched podcasts about fascinating topics--they've got my ears
