Heidi Li FeldmanSignificant detail regarding #ClarenceThomas failure to disclose multiple gifts of travel from Harlan Crow over the years. In 2004, the LA Times reported on gifts Thomas disclosed he had received from Crow. After this reporting, Thomas didn’t stop accepting gifts from Crow; he just stopped disclosing them. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2023-04-06/the-times-reported-about-justice-thomas-gifts-20-years-ago-after-he-just-stopped-disclosing-them #JudicialEthics

Not everyone who works in film would use the phrase "nothing in [X film] interests me," but all of them, either by active avoidance or choosing to devote their limited time elsewhere, have films that they will never see.
It is bad teaching—and likely rank hypocrisy—to try to gatekeep someone out of your field or industry because they do not have time for or interest in your canon.
For what it’s worth, “nothing in the film interests me” is a critical engagement.
Life is too short to devote one’s limited supply of curiosity and time to things that don’t engage you.

“The discourse has turned this into a debate about taste, but that’s not the takeaway, imo. It’s not that the student should love Casablanca, but that an ability to critically engage with film should be foundational to anyone who works in/with film. Also, side note: manners.”
Karin DalzielSo I called the police to get a copy of a police report I filed for identity theft, and the records lady said I have to get a lawyer to subpoena the court to get a copy. I need the full copy to try to clear a fraudulent loan. Does anyone know if there is another process for this? I'd rather not pay hundreds of dollars to get a copy.
Why not straight dating and hookup apps, too?
