Only Lovers Left Alive
Today I watched "Only Lovers Left Alive," a 2013 Jim Jarmusch film. It is hard to define its genre: Wikipedia describes it as "Gothic fantasy comedy-drama," but I've also seen it defined as "horror thriller." I guess to say it has a little bit of everything would be fair. I'm going to run it quickly through my usual media literacy analysis, with major spoilers included. So if you want to watch it and hate spoilers, you should probably stop here.

Common Cloud Security Threats: Your 2026 Protection Guide. AI-Generated.
Why You Are Still Getting Hacked in 2026 You would think by now we would have this cloud thing figured out. I reckon it is almost funny.

You open the AWS or Azure dashboard, fixin' to check the monthly spend, and your heart just stops. It is hella more than you expected. Every single time.

Book Review: "I Feel Bad About My Neck" by Nora Ephron
Back when I read The Most of Nora Ephron I complained about the fact that the ricotta omelette was absolutely terrible (it was, it was so disgusting I cannot believe she would eat that). But the book itself was absolutely hilarious. Universally female, funny and conversational - Nora Ephron didn't really hold back from showing us the frustrations and microaggresisons women experience every day. Even if that meant they were feeding it to themselves. I Feel Bad About My Next and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman is another one of these books where Nora Ephron takes us on a funny journey through the thoughts of womanhood.
