At some point you start to believe this is intentional dereliction of duty. Collusion and not cowardice.
Or does it matter?

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

#Booktok but it’s just visits to dusty, disorganized, vaguely communist, used bookstores with leaky roofs, in a bad part of town, shelves collapsing on one another, run by a crabby former hippy eating soup at the cash register.

The Max Brosmer go backwards 15 yards, blindly throw underhanded, interception, 80 yard return for a touchdown is among the single worst plays in Vikings franchise history, and the team once had a guy run the wrong way for a touchdown

I found this terribly sad. A young woman with her life ahead of her, and she becomes one of the last American victims of the Long War.

What a movie you recommend to people with enthusiasm but find that few people you recommend it to like it as much as you do?
Me: Probably Prometheus, which has its fans but is objectively, fundamentally flawed. Also Pandorum.
(My non-genre tastes are very conventional.)
