Annual purge of the kid’s bedroom and toys feels so good
Can I also just say that birthday party gift bags full of plastic crap that no one wants are evil and people should stop doing that?
When you give leather/plastic bound “journaling” schwag to grown ups who don’t journal or bullet list, they sit in a drawer. Give them to kids and you get a scribble on ever page, no easy way to save any good doodle much less recycle them. Also bad.
Four grocery bags of never-touched toys and books off to toy drive....
Eight coats to coat drive...
This coat purge is not done. Somewhere in the basement is a ski jacket I aspirationally bought when I moved to California in....2002 and have never worn.

Am I about to watch Point Break for the umpteenth time?
It is the me plus ultra good/bad movie
The first five minutes of this film is a symphony of terribly awesome dialog ImageImage

Uh, the CA Democratic Party endorsed Kevin De Léon mercurynews.com/2018/07/14/fei…
I think though, pertinent to @JaneMayerNYer's piece today, that endorsement was received (perhaps accurately?) as a fissure between the Bernie Dems and the liberals/centrists. And maybe, party leaders should have been more explicit about the age factor, where appropriate.
it was talked about on the DL, and there was "page turning" rhetoric, but perhaps because the Bernie/Hillary fissure was so fresh, and nowhere more keenly felt than in CA, it was cast as a race between those proxies. That didn't help @kdeleon's (uphill) case.

Don't erode your formidable legacy as a first in many ways @SenFeinstein. Time to go.
I wonder if any other country struggles as much to both gently ease elderly people out of positions of power, and in so doing have that change be one of celebration, not humiliation.
Anyone who has elderly parents knows that they age, particularly mentally, very differently. For some it's a gentle slope, for others a cliff, for maybe most, an irregular downward staircase full of plateaus.

And we need to address this in the overall, as well as in DiFi's case.

if i'm going to "have" to subscribe to a bunch of network streaming services or newsletters can't somebody just figure out a way for us to bundle what we want into one place?

life is exhausting and atomized enough as it is
all we've all wanted for like 30 years is to pay a reasonable-->outrageous amount for the things we want, without all the shit we don't want (looking at you, ESPN), in an easily organized hub. But now i have 700 cable channels, six+ streaming services, and its a nightmare.
I shouldn't have to pay for ESPN, just as fans of ESPN shouldn't have to pay for my HGTV addiction.

And, while I'm on a rant, the Prime Video interface is straight up trash.

After 10 months, finally got my movie club to watch All That Jazz, which Kubrick called the greatest movie he'd ever seen when it came out, and I think is a masterpiece, and @Criterion makes it almost impossible to see. No streaming, they even meter ordering DVDs!
We couldn't think of any other autobiographical movie that was both so searingly insightful, and self-indulgent, and...there's just nothing like it.
Anyway, why @Criterion didn't open up streaming at least while Fosse/Verdon was first playing...I'd be really fascinated to hear what is happening around this film.

Some kind of rights issue? Estate issue?

Today, San Francisco has a thriving outdoor restaurant scene. And we’re putting it into deep freeze for a month. I hope the science supports this and it works.
We eat a lot of takeout even pre pandemic, but we’re going back to our protocol of April, doing whatever we can to support the neighborhood spots we most love/feel are key to fabric of area.
As with everything in this mess, it feels like responsible restaurants and diners are being punished for the actions of the irresponsible.
