Still thinking a lot about how I want to be online these days. Is this just a midlife crisis?

Lotta people ragging on this, but I remain intrigued by the experiment!
Sony is considering releasing all 4 ‘BEATLES’ biopics on the same day in April 2028. Another idea being considered is offering a 4-pack of tickets to encourage fans to buy tickets to all 4 films at once. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)
It's funny. I'm surrounded by so much all-lower-case-everything these days that *I* feel like the outsider for swinging the other way.
today, lowercase can be clickbait, or a strategy of gen z-ers to read as less intense. it can also be a status symbol, or a way to signal human authorship. finally, pockets of the internet still see lowercase as somehow antiestablishment.
This is just more of the everyone-is-twelve theory in action. This is child behavior.
Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.
I've always thought Gibney is at his best when using a small incident to widen out and look at a bigger systemic thing. Think "Taxi to the Dark Side," "Zero Days," and "No Stone Unturned." When he's assigned, essentially, an info review, like with the Elizabeth Holmes doc, it's flatter.
i kinda felt this way about Gibney's adaptation of GOING CLEAR — as a long-time observer of the CoS I knew most of the stuff in the book before I read it, and everything in the movie was in the book— and despite that, its release wound up basically killing the Church of Scientology so idk
Definitely thought I was looking at a pic of Ryan Seacrest at first.
