I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Can't go wrong in the greater Wedge area. Transit, bike infrastructure, plenty of grocery stores, lakes and parks. Uptown resurgence on the way.

To all my Twin Cities Skeeters (that's what we are calling each other on Bluesky, correct?)
Any thoughts on what it's like to live in this area of Minneapolis? I may be moving to the TC soon & am looking for something nice, simple, and convenient on the west side of the metro?

No ghosts here — just special guest Tony Wagner! Back to help us dissect another movie compromised by studio meddling: Michael Mann’s very weird THE KEEP (1983)!

Is it a Mannsterpiece of vibecraft or a cult clunker?

THE DIRTY DOZEN (1967) still delivers hugely influential ensemble action, despite the action not really being the point.

Episode 348 covers this classic with both respect and cynicism!

I think the coolest thing you can do right now is live with integrity and care about the people around you, not just your friends and family but your community. Deny the lie they want you to believe, that taking as much as you can while giving nothing back is the goal.

If you're wondering, the indignant tone of the strong mayor's press release is because he's sick and tired of people holding him responsible for his multiple mayoral terms of failed encampment response. Mr Mayor, no one has the power to stop you from implementing your solutions.

Today, your favorite navy of four is discussing THE LAST DETAIL (1973), Hal Ashby's ‘70s military bro drama with an unmistakable warmth and melancholy — and maybe Jack Nicholson's best performance.

God’s fucking teeth, Warner Bros has its best year in decades off of idiosyncratic movies made for theaters led by directors and writers, like Sinners or even the overtly political Superman, and this could be the result?

I'm sorry to say this means film of the year incoming

twitter screenshot from David Ehrlich:

"in After the Hunt, “Terrible Love” by The National is playing when Julia Roberts & Andrew Garfield go to a bar. when Roberts returns to the same bar several days later, “Terrible Love” is playing AGAIN. haven’t checked my phone but I assume this is what everyone is talking about."
