What #film or #tv show - (past or current) brings you joy?
Right now I find Julia (on Max) just delightful. The series follows Julia Child as she creates The French Chef.
While I admit I may be biased given I work on a PBS #food show, I don’t think that’s it. The actors are outstanding & it’s beautifully filmed - the colors are somehow both realistic & richer than real life. Characters are people I want to spend time with & every episode makes me smile.

That's been a fear of mine since e-books started rising in popularity.
Suddenly, a title vanishes from Amazon or Apple because someone doesn't like it. We're already going through this with language and physical books, it really won't be long before we get Moms Shilling for Fascism working to ban content from streams.

Day10: Ten Days, Ten Films.
My last day!!! I hope to see some of you start a list as well!
This is a lot of fun! So long as you don’t make this too hard or too easy!
Over ten days you pick an image from a film without any title to give away where it is from, so that people can guess. You can also nominate others to do the same. That way more people are in on the game! (or not–your choice 😀 )
But remember: NO SPOILERS! If you recognise a film, don’t say what it is! Say something that indicates you know, but allows others to guess as well. Your messages then become helpful hints!

The trouble with ‘gender ideology’
Can we learn to see gender in its real complexity?America Magazine
Every now and then, technologists are able to translate their strongly held beliefs into action for the benefit of society. Sometimes these actions result in new features, apps or platforms but it's especially powerful when this happens at the protocol level.

Minimalist or maximalist? The life of a #microbe a mile underground
phys.org/news/2023-11-minimali… paper: ami-journals.onlinelibrary.wil…
Magdalena Osburn: "The deep subsurface #biosphere is enormous; it's just a vast amount of space... Many of the #microbes we found were either minimalist: ultra-streamlined with one job that it does very well alongside a close consortium of collaborators, or it can do a little bit of everything. These maximalists are ready for every resource that comes along."

Tidal is majority-owned by Block (formerly Square), which is owned by Jack Dorsey (formerly Twitter) and Jim McKelvey.
A couple of billionaires that just cut more than 10% of their staff too.
