PDA is a Nightmare
No, not the romantic kind. That's probably really nice and I'm happy for y'all
Liveblog of Alien (1979)
Back in June when I first watched Jaws, I promptly gushed to a neighbor about it. Instead of immediately making a swift and desperate exit from the probably one-sided conversation, he pulled a total dad move and asked what other classics I hadn’t seen yet. Then, he pulled a
It's been a month and I'm still thinking about Jaws (1975)
In my quest to watch classic blockbusters I’ve either never seen or have largely forgotten, in July I watched Jaws, Alien, and Jurassic Park in quick succession, unintentionally programming myself a triple creature feature in which the creatures are not the true villains.

Liveblog of Jaws (1975)
I recently liveblogged Jaws on Bluesky and thought I would share those immediate, knee-jerk impressions here, too, for any interested subscribers who are not on that platform.

MIST Opportunity
How susceptible do you think you are to misinformation? Thanks to researchers at the University of Cambridge, you have an opportunity to test how resilient your media literacy skills are with the Misinformation Susceptibility Test (MIST).

I had a post planned for today about social media literacy, but the news from the Gulf Coast and Appalachia is considerably more important than anything I had to offer. One of the goals of this newsletter is to encourage people to think about how interconnected our present is to

Welcome to Attention Generous!
Friends keep telling me to write about the mycelial network of bioethics, philosophy, law, media literacy, and culture that is my ken, so here I am, to write about those things. But mostly I’m here to write about books, movies, and t.v. I was recently a guest on
