Take a peek at the first page of The Dignity of Dependence!
Absolutely slain by the first page of @LeahLibresco’s new book. She puts to words the thoughts I have been meditating on as a residency physician with a focus on women’s health/infertility and as a new mother. Just wonderful.

“The family confirmed that the shooter has not yet been apprehended.”
If you think it can’t happen in America…a gunman fired 20 bullets into the home of a Jewish family in California this weekend and shouted “F*** the Jews” https://t.co/fs5AmXRa0i

The other great thing about this v funny moment is it exposed how little the other parishioners have bothered to know her that they didn’t know this.
had a friend a few years ago who had chronic pain and couldn't walk long distances so she sometimes used a wheelchair and once she went to visit a cave that is a huge pilgrimage place and this scene basically happened when she stood up from her wheelchair

Right on. “At one point [Rian Johnson] even joked, he says, ‘I feel like I’m supposed to be asking you more questions about what it’s like being a priest, but I’m spending all this time talking about God.'” https://t.co/eCvvxR8wjY

When Rian Johnson was still writing the script for his new "Knives Out" movie, he turned to his aunt and uncle for help.

this is why category fraud is bad. We’re so used to seeing co-leads win Best Supporting that actual supporting performances seem out of place. Beatrice Straight won the Oscar for Network and she had about as much screen time as Bridget Everett in Wake Up Dead Man

its literally impossible to be a man. you have to trust yourself when all men doubt you but make allowance for their doubting too. you're supposed to talk w crowds & keep yr virtue, & walk w kings nor lose the common touch. all men are supposed to count w you--but none too much

“Holloway said that no one had any right to tell Nigerians what to do with their heritage. The bronzes belong to Nigeria, he said: ‘If we decide that, as a country, we want to smelt the bronzes down and put them in the ground, that’s our prerogative.’” https://t.co/RI3WPkNDgD

Western museums are returning the Benin Bronzes to Nigeria, but a state-of-the-art museum to display them is still a long way off.

“One streamer who spoke to The Times became popular after he poured urine on his head on camera for $500 as part of a dare from another streamer. Shortly after, BetBolt, a small crypto casino, gave him a paid deal to make more gambling content.” https://t.co/tDPgJ6arPI

"Yes, to live on Manger Street is a perfectly good way to live in Advent.. I know that in an apartment down the street, Maurice Mikel, the ninety-year-old Palestinian photographer who took pictures of four popes, is also getting up to start his day." https://t.co/NCng5lIY1f

One time I went to a Christmas fair at a tiny Russian church and got some borscht and the stern old lady who sold it said "sour cream" and I said "no thank you" but she replied "not question."
one thing about being eastern european is that it’s not real soup unless there’s sour cream involved

Surro Connections held itself out as a reliable business. Now, clients have lost as much as tens of thousands of dollars meant to compensate women carrying their pregnancies.

🚩🚩eschewing escrow 🚩🚩 “Ms. Hall-Greenberg, however, routinely advised clients to give the funds to Surro directly. When people raised questions, she assured them that the money would be safe and that the option was easier than involving another party.”

Correct, I never cried during Knives Out or Glass Onion, but @rianjohnson got me twice in Wake Up Dead Man https://t.co/vroxtBCI51

While much of the mystery is about a dead man who has walked out of his tomb, it is Fr. Jud who is present when a heart begins to beat again.
@netflix Did not expect to sob watching a Knives Out movie, but man, this scene

ironic that a major reason local governments were excited about data centers is that they brought in a lot of tax revenue but didn’t create a lot of long term jobs that would bring new residents—by aiming to mollify anti-housing NIMBYs they spawned anti-data center movements lol
I’m like actively anti-NIMBY, but I’m genuinely trying to understand why people would want a data center in their neighborhood?

“In 1947, a transistor was the size of a small child's hand. In 1971, twenty-four years later, the transistors in a microprocessor were just ten microns wide, a tenth of the diameter of a human hair. Hand to hair.” https://t.co/CJBQlaIGRf
