the worst part of the Libby app — which, let me be clear, is an incredible gift of an app — is the logo. love the colors, but both the idea and the execution are lacking. you can do better Libby! I believe in you!!

“Garland, what do you fear most in the world?”
“The possibility that love is not enough”

RIP David. You helped me understand love more deeply and truly. That is a life well lived.

what does it mean that the New York Times — including the Athletic — has said NOTHING about the canceled Sixers center city arena? I’m honestly perplexed

I have never been less up-to-date on films and tv shows being released — save the years I lived in Uganda. instead, I’ve been focusing on the films I’ve missed and overlooked.

I attended the Moby Dick reading marathon in New Bedford over the weekend. terrific experience. a few thoughts:

so one year later, do we think The Holdovers is a new classic? is it a new holiday rewatchable?

disliking Wicked because you “don’t get it” or “it isn’t for me” is (as with Everything Everywhere All At Once) a signal that we can’t be friends

if you dislike Wicked because of the batshit lighting choices, then we can talk

EEAAO remains a perfect film tho, gtfo

San Diego is certainly a beautiful location for #sblaar, but the inaccessibility is lousy.
1. Long walking distances with limited mobility assistance options
2. High prices. Academia hosts vast gaps access to resources

east coasters own the morning of #sblaar in San Diego, but the west coasters get their revenge after about 8PM
