New review: jfmillenniumreviews.blogspot.com/2024/04/review… A film that might be a little too proud of what it's doing but does it with chilling precision.

New video: youtu.be/WhaGgWO2R2k A Mild Defense of Unalaq, The Legend of Korra's Worst Villain (Philosophy Analysis and Theory)
Happy Eclipse Day, everyone! If you're in America, you should try to watch it. Even a partial eclipse is such a mystical, dreamlike experience. A total eclipse is one of the most glisteningly unearthly events a human being can experience.
The Korra-Tenzin relationship is significantly underrated and might be my favorite part of TLoK. I appreciate how Tenzin can only really help her relinquish this narrow and constrictive image of who she is "supposed to" be after he undergoes a similar process.

jfmillenniumreviews.blogspot.com/2024/03/review… A beautifully devastating movie about wistful longing and the unexpected connections that bloom in the shadow of grand, cosmic narratives.
jfmillenniumreviews.blogspot.com/2024/03/review… A disquieting but stingingly incisive noir--a bit melodramatic, but no less cutting for that fact.

New video: youtu.be/6sA7WZsaQLs How Netflix's Avatar Adaptation Ruined Katara
I don't really know what to think about the fact that the videos of mine that still receive the most views on a daily basis are all about Avatar shipping, especially Zutara.
New video: youtu.be/AaOVjG2KIzk Why Netflix's Live-Action Avatar Adaptation Doesn't Quite Work (Analysis and Review)
Katara is particular is a bit of a disappointment in the Netflix live-action; her personality seems to be 1) very hopeful, and 2) good at waterbending. There's nothing fiery or chaotic or stubborn or dark or self-possessed about her.
I'm watching the new Netflix Avatar. The visuals and costumes are impressive, but overall, I'm not particularly impressed. Many scenes are either flatly inert or downright silly. It's significantly better than the terrible 2010 movie, but it's not magical. It's not special.

I want everyone to know there is no ill will on my side either. You said what you thought was necessary to get people to leave you alone. It was other people who made assumptions, that was why I needed to say what I said. I wish you the best life without me in it, you deserve it.
You are a wonderful human being who has done so much for me and I want you to succeed and come back from this.
You, too, can surrender to temptation: accounts.theatlantic.com/products/
After countless stumbles into the paywall after getting wholly sucked into various compelling leads, I’m a freshly minted @TheAtlantic subscriber. I could not be more pleased about it. I cannot stop reading. So much fantastic storytelling, lovely prose, hilarity and heartache.
I could not be prouder of the students I teach at Princeton. I have an undergraduate course in civil liberties going with about 120 students enrolled. They are brilliant, but that's a secondary reason for my pride in them. We've just spent three weeks addressing profoundly…
I feel you can really tell when people have gone their entire life in institutions that are 90%+ liberal, and have never had conservative friends force them to tighten up their thinking and arguments. It's enough to make smart people arguing for correct conclusions unconvincing.
This person is way closer to the median American voter than the person you imagine being worked up about your particular pet issue. Winning over people like this is how Biden wins re-election. nytimes.com/2024/04/13/us/…
@John_Stepek It’s one of the best novels I’ve read in my life
I see we’re doing this again. I don’t care how many spooky Russian people your reporting turns up, it doesn’t make them the cause of common symptoms of general malaise!!! this shouldn’t be so hard to understand AND YET
For the first time, there’s evidence of who might be behind the mysterious neurological symptoms known as Havana Syndrome, which has been reported by many American officials. cbsn.ws/3vyO2WZ
Never forget that the median voter is a fiftysomething non-college white person who lives in the suburbs of an unfashionable city. slowboring.com/p/the-median-v…
I really don’t care for Newsom but he has actually been pretty good on the #1 issue driving these costs — housing — by fighting against the local officials who block new homes that would moderate costs.
'...really not a good place for middle-class living standards...' Are you listening, @GavinNewsom? @JTLonsdale left #California because it was too expensive and difficult to do business in, taking with him high-paying jobs. From the @reason Interview (vid/audio/text at link…
No criminal defendant — however innocent — wants “his day in court to clear his name.” Juries are unpredictable and anyone facing a felony conviction would much prefer to avoid a trial entirely! Let’s not forget everything we know about criminal law just because it’s Trump.
What does it say about Trump (and the US) that the presumptive Republican nominee has made over a dozen failed requests not to have his day in court to clear his name?
the lede on the NYT's original 1995 story about OJ Simpson's trial is insane
The way GLAAD and the other alphabet orgs have handled this issue has been so dishonest, and, for the last couple of years, very transparently dishonest — “the science is settled” was laughably false — which is why they weren’t able to bully the NYT out of doing journalism.
.@glaad has done a lot of damage to trans and gender-questioning kids and their families by lying so fervently and frequently about the state of youth gender medicine research. I hope at some point someone there takes some responsibility, apologizes, and (most importantly)…
Some beautiful 16th century 5-over-1's
South Korea has a population of 50 million, and a total of 10.02 million household only have one person, history high. South Korea is a pioneer of China in many aspects, including economic development model, population issues, feminism.......I have always believed that the…
The Five-Over-One is the workhorse of dense, walkable, affordable market rate housing. Except for NYC, wherever housing costs are too high, making it as easy as possible to build lots of these would be hugely helpful.
I find it wild how people in modern anglosphere just seem to believe it’s absolutely impossible for cities to increase their population by ~100% in a decade and manage to build enough housing and infrastructure, something that was pretty common in the past.
I honestly didnt believe this when I read it. But its true. Chicago is shrinking, and at no small rate.
Tearing down dead high streets and replacing them with buildings like (pic 2) would be such an easy win for towns and the economy.
@JaMikeyMike @stevemouzon That's not at all true. In the hands of a capable architect, mid-rise residential can be masterfully executed in a classical style. These examples from German architect Ralf Schmitz follow classical proportions but still feel modern and approachable.
Aside from Italy and Japan, productivity differences are actually essentially unchanged over the last 30 years. The real difference is that the dollar is a lot stronger now.
Note that this is relatively new — 15 years ago the income gap between the US and the richer European countries was mostly about Americans working longer hours. But there’s now a big wage/productivity wedge. slowboring.com/p/how-obama-an…
