Californians, Gov. Newsom veto’d an education bill that included gender expansive language. You can call to express your disappointment, and to encourage him to still sign the remaining 8 LGBTQ+ safety & rights bills on his desk. His office’s number is 916-445-2841. I just did this. You can too.

I get that. Cheers used to be my fall asleep show when I was a kid. Since everyone was always in the same seat (lol), it was easy to 'watch' with eyes closed, drifting off to sleep... the sitcom lullaby...

for anyone else enjoying a Emilia Jones moment via Task, this is coming with the bonus of a Scoot McNairy lead.

still watching Netflix? Yes, but I'll often choose a different platform depending on my tolerance for ads in the moment. Especially at night, to avoid the jolt you speak of :)

yeah, i expect to see more of her and am happy about that.

maybe not a compression "issue" as much as it is a strategy. Either way, the average viewer (who doesn't think about mixing/compression/dynamic ad serving, etc) just hears louder ads.

Ahhhh, Maeve in Task was also the star of Coda. Emilia Jones, super talented.

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

“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.”

Studio Ghibli fell in love with this film and gave its director a movie deal. Master animators like Yuri Norstein call it a favorite.

Its name is Father and Daughter, and we've explored its story:

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Just the start.

Common sense.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
