I'm going to be thinking about Train Dreams for a long time. Definitely one of the best of the year. It's out on Netflix today. I spoke to star Joel Edgerton (my pick for Best Actor this year, fwiw!) about creating those magical moments with Robert's family:

Joel Edgerton improvised some of ‘Train Dreams’ best scenes: “If you followed a script, you’d never get these moments”
Edgerton praised director Clint Bentley for keeping things “free and nimble” on set.

Anyone in NYC can sign up to get involved. The org is already organizing canvasses on behalf of the agenda (e.g., universal childcare and taxing the rich). You can just sing up and show up.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

I pulled together a list of Rob Reiner movies available on subscription-based streamers. Stand By Me, one of my all time favorites, is on Netflix. I have that movie to thank for the writer I am today. Reiner is one of the true greats.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

The problem with bookstores is that every book that's about slavery, or racism, or white supremacy are in the Black History or Afrcian American section. When let's be real, those subjects are largely "White history." But because they're in the Black section you only see them by choice
