- Watching Footloose on mute at a bar, and there are some silly things, like when a severely battered woman dabs at her face with a tissue and magically is back in perfect makeup, but aesthetically this is closer to Bresson than to Hollywood movies today
- When you travel through the Minneapolis airport you see how the area was able to support an orchestra led by Osmo Vanska, while L.A. and now New York went for comparable vulgarity Gustavo Dudamel
- 28 typos and style guide violations yesterday before checking out early. Typos 1 and 2 of the day: was is a bad subject-verb-agreement error for were. Trouble getting plural medicines is still singular trouble. Bonus extra space. @adamrasgon @halbfinger @FatiabdulFatima19 typos and style guide violations Tuesday (took the rest of the week off). Typos 1 and 2 of the day: five times faster means six times as fast. See your style guide. Ungrammatically omitted comma after an appositive. @jdavidgoodman @lmcgaughy @jesus_jimz @publicroad
- Unless I am missing something, this @ByDavidMurphy column is entirely based on a huge factual error; either he thinks that there are four wild cards in the MLB playoffs, or that the Cubs are not a wild card team and all three of PHL, SDP and AZ can be wild cards. cc @GMPotoskyPhillies' playoff chances complicated by one of toughest remaining schedules | David Murphy ebx.sh/9NdufE
