Hey look, it snowed back home.
A man raising his hand next to a snowbank in Oswego County, NY. From Accuweather's facebook page. The snowbank is taller than the man, and his hand is just barely above the top of the bank. Snowbanks in northern Oswego County are now about one and a quarter “Jeremys,” roughly 8 feet tall, using NYSDOT equipment operator instructor Jeremy Johnson as the measuring stick. With another major winter storm on the way, drivers are urged to slow down and give road crews space to work.

How bad is the snow where you are? You could always do:

Deplaning and having a tumble so gnarly it makes the Cooper Hill Cheese Roll look graceful.

Being left-handed.
B theguardian.com 凸 Why do left-handers excel at certain elite sports but not others? Data suggests being left-handed is a particular advantage in sports where time pressures are particularly severe, such as baseball, cricket and table tennis Nicola Davis Wed 22 Nov 2017 00.30 EST ＜ Share 209 From cricketer Wasim Akram to baseball pitcher Clayton Kershaw and table tennis star Ding Ning, the world of sport has no shortage of left-handed players. But now researchers say they've worked out why lefties are overrepresented in some elite sports but not others. The study, published in the journal Biology Letters, suggests that being left-handed is a particular advantage in interactive sports where time pressures are particularly severe, such as table tennis and cricket - possibly because their moves are less familiar to their mostly right-handed opponents, who do not have time to adjust.

RECENT REVIEWS MORE Watched 12 Jan 2026 pink narcissus Pink Narcissus 1971 **** 1/2 Beautiful and dreamy. It may not be an accurate term, but this film has a "technicolor chiaroscuro" vibe that makes me hunger for more jewel-toned and bronzed skin and harsh shadows. Bidgood also really, really knew how to get the most out of it -- double exposures, sequins, floating gauzy silks. It's like eating citrus for the first time in a long time after eating only hardtack. The only modern director that comes close to this is Jane Schoenbrun. Maybe others, but she's the first that comes to mind. If I taught an intro to film course, I'd make my students watch this (or, at least, selections) and then encourage them to go out and buy lights and gels and paints. The film can be fairly explicit at times, including a money-shot right to camera, so take note of that. I deducted a half star from my review because while it's gorgeous and technically-speaking wonderful, the film is pretty light on plot and is essentially a silent film set to classical music, with no dialogue or intertitles. To appreciate it, you really need to be in the headspace for dreamy and ethereal, and that can make it hard to access and appreciate. No likes yet

(Deleted my original joke Heated Rivalry response since someone else suggested it.) If you haven’t seen The Night Of The Hunter, it’s free on Tubi and I’ve been obsessed with it lately.
Six screenshots from The Night of The Hunter: the silhouette of a farmhouse, a boy looking at a man on horseback in the distance, a man standing in a room with sloped ceilings, a man standing under a street lamp behind a picket fence, the silhouette of a woman holding a gun and sitting in a chair, a woman in convertible (1930s-style) with the top down, underwater. Seaweed floats around her). Everything is in black and white.

People were very passionate about it.
r/GildedAgeHBO . 6mo ago PortraitofMmeX John Singer Sargent Portrait of Gladys Gilded Age History First things first, IRL Sargent was over 6 feet tall and famously often ate 2 dinners. The man was large. Who cast this tiny little pocket Sargent for the show? But more importantly, I think it's quite controversial to have him paint Gladys in the 1880s. I feel like it glosses over the reality of the Madame X scandal, which took a few years to die down, and I'm not sure Bertha would have commissioned him on the heels of it much less praised him for it. After that Salon he basically went on a "let's pretend that never happened" tour with his friends in England. The portrait ruined Virginie Gautreau's reputation, and Bertha is way more careful with Gladys than to let her be seen as provocative. Bertha herself is bold and can be controversial but she stage manages Gladys much differently than how she presents herself. I feel like she would have gone for a more conservative choice like Cecilia Beaux. I think she was in France at the time but in any case, Sargent was a risque choice in 1884 especially for an 18 year old girl's portrait. Obviously they chose it for the show because Sargent is more significant to audiences now and no one would know who someone like Cecilia Beaux is and the nuance of it all is probably not interesting to anyone but me but just in case it's interesting to you too, hi. This would be basically the Gilded Age equivalent of Kris Jenner leaking Kim's sex tape. ...
