Job perk: private screening of The Empire Strikes Back at Warner Bros. (at Warner Bros. Screening Room 12)
There will come a time when a sports star comes out of the closet and no one will care. Not the media. Not the internet. Not teammates. Nobody. But that will be a different kind of indifference. An accepting indifference.

Be me reading an r/AskReddit thread where people are sharing paranormal experiences.
Be doing this late at night while your boyfriend walks the dogs.
Be interrupted by three quiet knocks on the door.
Be like …must be my imagination.
Be interrupted by three more quiet knocks on the door, this time reaaalllly sllooooow knocks.
Be very, very afraid to move.
Be desperately trying to write the whole thing off as your imagination when a voice on the other side of the front door says, “Hello? Are you there?”
Be freaking out with the certainty that you are about to die, when the voice on the other side of the door says, “Hello? It’s the Simply Thai Restaurant delivery man. Can you open the door?”
Be me, overcome with embarrassment as I sign the receipt for the boyfriend’s food and send the poor corporeal delivery guy on his way.

Get it while it lasts, folks. The movies of the future will be all digital, all the time.
Wow, really shocked that ALIEN isn’t much darker.
Also, no technological alarmism necessary. There already are just-as-beautiful macroscopic views of your favorite films in digital.

Hey, it’s people I know being blogged by NPR.
Some have suggested that the apprehended suspect should be held as an enemy combatant under the law of war. I am not aware of any legal basis at this point for such a designation in this case. Under the law of war, we have the authority to detain individuals who join a hostile foreign force engaged in attacking the United States. The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force authorizes such detention in the case of an individual who is a part of al Qaeda, the Taliban, or an associated force.
I am not aware of any evidence so far that the Boston suspect is part of any organized group, let alone al Qaeda, the Taliban, or one of their affiliates — the only organizations whose members are subject to detention under the Authorization for Use of Military Force, as it has been consistently interpreted by all three branches of our government. In the absence of such evidence I know of no legal basis for his detention as an enemy combatant. To hold the suspect as an enemy combatant under these circumstances would be contrary to our laws and may even jeopardize our efforts to prosecute him for his crimes.
… the cycle is the same, something horrible happens, we all watch it happen in real time and feel terrible and want to know who were the perpetrators, what are the circumstances, and why did it happen? We get some inkling and have a discussion of what the implications are for policy, what we might do to prevent something from this happening again in the future. When it’s guns, when the killer is a shooter, the answer is —- nothing. We are told “this just happens.” But if it gets put in a special category called terrorism, then the answer is, everything must be done, no cost should be spared, no legal precedent should stand in the way. Once it gets put in the terrorism bucket, we must do everything in our power. No one ever says “people are going to die from terrorism, that’s just the way it is.” And if it’s in the gun bucket, “yeah, 30,000 people are going to die every year from guns, that’s just the way it is.” Why is that the case? In the last 30 years, there have been 30,000 to 40,000 gun deaths in the United States per year, more than 900,000 people. In the last 40 years since 1970, there have been about 3,400 terror-related deaths, depending how you define terror according to the integrated united states security data base. A million gun fatalities in the 33 years since 1980 versus 3,400 terror fatalities since 1970 …
