*bravo!

Attention span is a pisser.

I do like listening to authors read their work in person. Adds tone, nuance, shading --particularly since my preferred method of reading is index finger on the page while muttering out loud like a first grader.

is it OK to be bored with the Phelps family and with media outlets who insist on giving them air?

Not sure if this is a dupe of this one from mlx b/c firewall blocking YT:

I find this little piece of comic protectionism to be both quaint and justified. If we export all of our comedy along with all of our bad Bruce Willis action films, then who will ever visit the great America again? Aussies need incentives, too.

On a less cheeky note, I wonder how much of this is tied up in the entertainment writers' strike that is taking place right now? If comedy writers accrue benefits in the form of residuals, there could indeed be a very serious consequence to freely streaming all of their (quasi-intellectual) property so that your random dot.ru can zip it and burn it onto pirated CDs and DVDs.

I do like the message, but there is more going on here than simple isolationism, I fear.

Made it! Thanks so much for your persistence. Beautiful sift.

fixed! thanks issykitty

From the summary of the exhibition:

"Cantor confined a deer and its ancient enemy, a wolf, in an elegant, white-walled space that might almost be another gallery in the museum, then filmed the result. It is mesmerizing, and surprisingly peaceable. No blood or guts; just a lot of fast breaths, attentive smelling and a kind of intense awareness of another creature that humans only rarely achieve. Cantor is a 30-year-old Romanian based in France since 1999."
