Your friendly neighborhood shepherdess cuddling babies and wielding the crook as needed. The gravy boat is still rocking but I'm hanging on and enjoying the ride best I can. INTJ. Christian. Classic movie buff and 90s baby. Bibliophile for life.

This is “Watching The Blue Jay” from Harry Roseland. You’ve likely seen his paintings even if you don’t know his name. They’re adorable; there’s a whole story in this painting and I love it.
I have a soft spot for THE MAN CALLED FLINTSTONE. It’s one of the Hanna-Barbera’s best work and a great animated film, period. It was conceived as a series finale to the original show, with the same tight storylines emotional depth and laughs.

There was a history in Merle Oberon’s family of young women being s*’d and impregnated by older men, which was connected with the history of extreme power imbalances between white men and South Asian and/or Eurasian women during the colonial period.

It's easy to see shoddy research as a bad actor problem. But if AI slop like this can make it through editors and peer reviewers, it means there are systemic problems at work. And I'd argue that at least part of the problem is the overwork culture in academia-- pressure to do more while caring less.
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Northern Shovelers have arrived in Central Park. Their huge spoon-shaped bill always makes me laugh--but it's very effective for filtering tiny crustaceans out of the water. Just look at the size of that thing! 😍😍😍 #Shoveler #CentralPark #birding

I find it telling that so many Zamdani lovers - not supporters, lovers - have responded to this oval office meet by endorsing the act of kissing Trump's soiled, crusty ass.
People have demonstrated an almost romantic infatuation with this guy and therefore he can do no wrong.

Some of you make me sick. Mamdani kisses the ring and he's a "brilliant strategist" and "diplomatic genius".
Jeffries & Schumer get crucified for even whispering the word bi-partisan. Whitmer got flamed for her visit. Harris is still being bludgeoned for appearing with Cheney.
HYPOCRITES.

Stop policing the 92% and start policing your own 53%. You’d never do this to Liz Warren or Katie Porter. Or even AOC.

Iger got snippy about it. The CEO. Let that sink in. The Russos have been obsessed with it ever since. The fans circle back every now and again. (Scorsese doesn’t care.)
I am no shrink but I think Martin hit a tender spot, an insecurity. There was no reason to go scorched earth on him like that.

Disney was pushing the Academy to make a new category so it could win Best Picture. The box office was theirs. Even the wackiest, most obscure characters were raking in the cash.
And that little director had the nerve to speak up, saying something mild as an aside, but still heresy

The slow collapse of this cultural juggernaut is going to be studied alongside the downfall of 1960s mega epics. It may come back from the grave but the must-see, can’t-miss aspect is very difficult to revive once it is gone.
