So I have been distracting myself from *waves arms* by watching and now reading Heated Rivalry, and I highly recommend both. It's not just that the show features extremely well-done (blocking, framing, acting, lighting, you name it) sex scenes, but the character development is off the charts.

Helpful tip for other aspiring camerapersons: for 18 US 111 to apply there must be “force or the threat of force” involved such that the officer(s) have a reasonable expectation of harm while in the line of duty.

"An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from—not toward—a federal officer when he opened fire."
Great video analysis of Minneapolis shooting from NYT. These frames show drawing of gun and exact moment of first shot.

Something incredible I learned (re-learned?) tonight is that the blog post where the first SARS-CoV-2 genome was shared - six years ago on Saturday - included the most iconic footnote of all time

@moviessilently.bsky.social This is a very random question, but are you aware of any movies prior to Nightmare Alley (1947 version) using Rider-Waite-Smith tarot cards or their imagery?

A while back, when my kid was very small, she went to a daycare that specialized in infants (6 weeks - 2 years old). The staff there were warm, friendly, lovely, experienced experts in all things baby-related. I was a nervous first-time mom and they allowed me to go back to work with minimum anxiety

Also, I dunno if I'd call it good, exactly, but Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time" video was definitely formative.
