If you have never explored the cinematic world of Rosalind Russell, I’m not sure her four Oscar nominations are accurately representative of her skills, screen persona, or best-known works.

Always the Nominee: Rosalind Russell

Est. 1987. Moody Cancerian. Introverted dog dad. Book dragon. Cinephile. ATX. I needed an outlet for my obsessions and list making about film, music, and television, so here we are. Enjoy!

I can tell when people at work have used it because their writing style is suddenly different AND they'll forget to edit out certain things, or it gets very general stuff about our office wrong

Well, this is clear as mud. Seems like she wants to have her bigotry and eat it, too.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

It’s funny how mad they get when they show polling from all the prior shutdowns too that all had majority blame on republicans. Yeah bc they’re the party that openly runs on hating a functioning government!

it should be a tell about what's happening in the media now that most mainstream commentators seem openly frustrated that polling does not blame democrats for the shutdown

Dolly Parton is the best of us. A true legend and a treasure. God bless, Dolly Parton.

And listen to Coat of Many Colors, one of the all-timer albums.

Not only does she have an incredibly body of work, but she's done so much for the part of the country she comes from. Post-natural disaster, she did UBI for everyone effected. There's the Imagination Library. There's the million dollar donation for the COVID vaccine. Not to mention her advocacy.

Have you ever seen The Tale of the Bunny Picnic, which introduced him? It's so cute.

That being said … Dolly is still getting my prayers because I want her to be well and she is a light in this world 🦋

“I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious … She’s been a little under the weather and I simply asked for prayers bc I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up.”
