So was THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE eligible or what? Who bungled that if so? I didn’t love the film but Seyfried’s performance is undeniable. #oscars #movies
Finished Proust’s SWANN’S WAY today and happened to turn on this Simpsons episode which cuts right to the chase.

Sought out some classic cars while they were in town this weekend. From the only roll that’s back so far.

I’m curious if MLB TV publishes which games are the most popular. Thanks to blackouts it might be a good measure of teams most popular who live outside the home market. And I mostly wonder whether the Phillies are the most watched on that metric.
Watching old movies that were shot on actual film brings me so much joy now. Such beautiful colors. It’s downright relaxing. I’m tired of the over saturated digital look almost every new production has nowadays.

Anyone else having an issue in Apple Mail where it will display different text than you typed when composing a message? Been happing a few times a day. What will happen is I’ll type a paragraph (one or two sentences), start a new one and while I’m typing the second paragraph will look like the text from the first one. Copying and pasting to a different text app reveals it actually is what I typed but it’s…freaky. Sometimes panicky. Anyone know a fix?

Is it worth reading the Mac HIG from the 2000s? YES!

Because current HIGs pruned all the historical context of desktop app design in general.

A lot of you aren’t reading it & it shows. I hate being so blunt but the further we go like this, the shittier our Mac apps are going to get.

When you never had a clue about specific patterns and paradigms of Mac-app design, you don’t notice it, and therefore you don’t implement it in your apps.

Only knowing bad app design leads to worse app design.

A big hang up on my #photography game lately has been library organization. No matter what I do I end up reverting to Lightroom because I’m used to it, but would love to change it up. What else do people use? Photos?
Super curious what the folks behind Halide will come up with for their new video app, Kino. Blackmagic Camera basically does everything for free, but it's ugly and unintuitive. Kino could be great. https://shotwithkino.com

I feel like looking up movie showtimes is worse than it’s ever been. I have to check at least 3 places (Fandango, local rep house, theater chain not on Fandango) to answer “what is there to see around this time?” How is this not solved by now? Anyone have an app that fixes this?
