As usual, Matt Damon was rescued and thus had more than 10 minutes.

Yep, same philosophy underlying this usage as was the one that led to potato salad in the South a century back.

The fun part was that it’s more or less at Stewart’s actual level of French rather than him showing the effects of a dialogue coach.

Pitsenbarger was originally awarded the Air Force Cross—quite an honor in its own right, but still less distinguished than the rarely given Medal Of Honor.

A sad day.

Babylon Berlin: Season 3 — NETFLIX ORIGINAL

This is one of those things that an attorney like Clinton is first going to be annoyed with and then going to enjoy, since she’s got fun options, especially since this got filed in New York rather than Hawaii.

I started watching Giri Haji.

Temeraire is an interesting series but rather unlike Uprooted. If it’s a bit much, I’d definitely recommend Spinning Silver, which is far more similar in setting to Uprooted and also is a standalone.

Plus I also subjectively like it because it’s about the Devonshire Regiment, in particular the 2nd Battalion who’d go on to be wiped out in a last stand during the German Spring Offensive of 1918 for which their actions won merit that are still the main battle honours of their amalgamated successor The Rifles.

It’s a slug of change for him for sure, but he could have done it without too much of a wince for someone who flew the USC flag at…

So the $20M high end figure I’ve seen written about is too low?

This clears up one of the parts of this story that has always mystified me: why didn’t Giannulli and Loughlin simply participate in the legal grift USC has been (in)famous for over multiple decades?

Wurtzel’s New York life, at the end, wasn’t as glamorous

Yeah, I think my objections probably boil down to that it overdid the drama in a few scenes like that when it didn’t really need to - there was more than enough intrinsically underlying the movie.

I saw it and liked it quite a bit. I liked how my guesses at the narrative were wrong; Mendes did a good job obscuring where he was taking the film.

So American is offering waivers on most cities throughout the Midwest that connect through O’Hare, but unlike United won’t let you change either a flight to ORD itself or any other flight that connects through it (like, oh, about a third of their international flights.)
