And the DJ thought his biggest problem that night would be boredom! 😬😆

Mine is often crashy, notifications can be all over the place, video loads around two-thirds of the time.

If there's one (1) complaint about that movie, it's that it doesn't deliver on the promise of that poster.

A shame, because Allison Hayes was a *force.*

I hear that. I read that Wired piece the other day and had the same reaction.

Rebecca Boone @rebeccastmaries.bsky.social · 20h

I’m glad you’re feeling better without FB! And that’s kind to say, thank you. I would miss you too! One of the upsides of these sites was meeting a lot of friends I probably wouldn’t have otherwise.

Rebecca Boone @rebeccastmaries.bsky.social · 20h

Same here. I’ve deleted everything except this and Letterboxd at this point, and I’m increasingly not seeing any reason to use social media at all.

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.

Oh, what did you think of “The Shrouds” after watching it again?

So sorry. 😕🖤

Rebecca Boone @rebeccastmaries.bsky.social · 23h

I thought this was excellent, too. Was genuinely shaken after watching it.
