@WhitStillman Metropolitan is a Christmas movie

How thoughtful... For this Christmas, "Metropolitan" Action Figures.

@whataimeereads_ By streamlining the plot and replacing Kinsella’s notion of JD Salinger with fictional Terence Mann, the film Field of Dreams is better than the novel Shoeless Joe.

I'm YET to find a film that was better than the book. Tell me otherwise!

If you could only watch movies featuring Gene Hackman over the next 12 months, you’d have a great year of cinema #RIP

@HBuchanan2 Oh yeah. The Hip created a bigger and richer body of work than either of those. Plus, they referenced both Bobcaygeon and Attawapiskat in song titles.

@TLCoolJ Overlooking both BTO and Steppenwolf?

Three best Canadian rock bands: Rush Heart Triumph Prove me wrong.

Update: As of late this afternoon, the Smokehouse Creek Fire is estimated to have burned 850,000 acres — an area larger than all of Rhode Island.

The area of the Texas Panhandle burned so far by the Smokehouse Creek Fire equals almost two-thirds of the total area of Rhode Island.

@craigcalcaterra When I was 9 my granddad took me from Amarillo to visit a friend of his who retired to Brompton-on-Swale near Richmond. Saw that castle. Going from West Texas to Yorkshire was amazing. That was 1976. Thanks for reminding me to find a way back.

The Jets better have this motherfucker on speed dial …

@AdamThierer @MarcGoldwein These data might be skewed by trend for lawyers to be licensed in >1 states. My great-uncle had 1 bar license; I have 3 so I likely appear in ABA survey 3 times as it sums each state’s enrollment without (evident) de-duplicating.

the U.S. has a lawyer problem: * more than 1.3 Mil lawyers in US * from 1900 to 2000, number of lawyers rose 793% * largest increase was in 1970s (+76%) * over the past decade, the number of lawyers up by more than 80,000 (up 6.6% from 2012 to 2022)

With all the attention the National Ignition Facility @lasers_llnl is about to get from fusion news, a reminder that the warp core scenes of Star Trek: Into Darkness were filmed there @ENERGY

Wow. FT just reported the first instance of net energy gain from a fusion reaction. If this is true, this is a momentous breakthrough for the fusion and plasma physics community!

@JimPethokoukis Silent Running

What is a good-to-great science-fiction movie that people have sort of forgotten about, never really talk about anymore? "2010" is one example, I think.

First plasma alert! Today I produced my first #plasma with a glow discharge tube I built in the @BrynMawrCollege Plasma Lab #womeninscience #WomenInSTEM

@Super70sSports I wager Sheriff Farley could track him down

Whereabouts unknown.

@tedgioia In the documentary “Sound City,” after they composed the song “Cut Me Some Slack” on the fly in the studio, Dave Grohl asked Macca, “Why can’t it always be this easy?” Paul replied, “It is.”

I’ve never seen anything like this on film before. Paul really has nothing at the 30 second mark—but 45 seconds later he’s got the makings of a hit single. twitter.com/DarthYavin/sta…
