You’re free to block whoever you want (though blocking rather than muting seems like overkill). Others also are free to block kvetchers who pop into their mentions to complain about paywalled links. Of the two acts, kvetching in someone’s mentions is more aggressive than silent blocking.

Yeah, Suz is an inveterate debunker of inauthentic or implausible medical scenes, she had almost nothing but praise for The Pitt

I’m married to an RN and my daughter is a senior RN student, we loved The Pitt

…at websites that may be entirely free, entirely paywalled, or some of each. At a town square, I have no reasonable expectation that everything will be labeled for my convenience, and even if I might find an unanticipated paywall “annoying,” I can’t imagine who could claim to find it “confusing.”

1. Even granting your terms, “confusing and annoying” is a big step down from “disingenuous,” which I find a conversation killer.

2. Their website is the business. At a business, I expect to be treated as a customer. This site is a town square with people pointing out all sorts of things…

No. Not disingenuous. This allegation assumes an established norm or widely recognized social expectation that such a heads-up will be provided where applicable. No such norm exists. You might wish there were, but that’s not the same thing.

I suspected that might be the answer but I wanted to check

point of clarification: like a freak gazes, or like a freak is gazed at

…whereas what he says after that I can’t even begin to parse. Who is the “woman” he thought was “very incompetent” but is now “leading the field” and “leading the nomination”? What field and what nomination could he possibly be talking about? Any ideas? Anyone?

…but his words don’t entirely make sense. “I had a man” makes sense, but “he had a man” doesn’t, unless we assume that Trump either meant to say “she had a man” or else momentarily forgot that Tim Walz’s running mate was a woman.

That’s still tolerably legible, though…

YES. The DUNE movies are also absolutely singular spectacles, and it’s hard to believe the last one was only last year.

FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS was shot in location in Egypt and Palestine. It was written by Gene Gauntier, who also played the Virgin Mary, and possibly co-directed.

The role of women in getting epics onto the American screen has been erased, so let's elevate them again.
