A lot of streaming services dummy down the cinematography, knowing most people watch movies on their phones or laptops. Sad but true.

There's been some progress fixing the student loan chaos that we're all dealing with at the moment. But it's progress at a snail's pace. Below you'll see 3 primary updates. One is for IBR folks, one for PSLF folks, and one is for people trying to pay back their loans. Read the newsletter here! ckarchive.com/b/68ueh8h57zr8…

Kurt Vonnegut's 8 rules for writing: ⁣ 1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.⁣ ⁣ 2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.⁣ ⁣ 3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.⁣ ⁣ 4. Every sentence must do one of two things—reveal character or advance the action.⁣ ⁣ 5. Start as close to the end as possible.⁣ ⁣ 6. Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them-in order that the reader may see what they are made of.⁣ ⁣ 7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.⁣ ⁣ 8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.⁣

-“‘Helicopter’ does not come from ‘heli’ and ‘copter,’ but from ‘helico’ (from Greek ‘helix’ meaning “spiral”) plus ‘pter’ (from Greek ‘pteron’ meaning “wing”).” -“Like in ‘pterodactyl’?” -“Girl, exactly.”

It's unfortunate that MLB has apparently made a habit of being less than entirely honest on the subject of the A's, Oakland and the Coliseum, but here we are again. From @scottostler sfchronicle.com/sports/ostle…

After much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities, honest conversations within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and generous discussions with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the Los Angeles Dodgers would like to offer our sincerest apologies to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, members of the LGBTQ+ community and their friends and families. We have asked the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to take their place on the field at our 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night on June 16th. We are pleased to share that they have agreed to receive the gratitude of our collective communities for the lifesaving work that they have done tirelessly for decades. In the weeks ahead, we will continue to work with our LGBTQ+ partners to better educate ourselves, find ways to strengthen the ties that bind and use our platform to support all of our fans who make up the diversity of the Dodgers family.
