Francesca Gino’s grotesque effort to sue the Data Colada people for defamation and interfering with her career has been dismissed. Good! Her defamation claim against Harvard has also been dismissed. She can continue against Harvard for breach of contract. Because they seem to have messed up procedural aspects of their review of her work, like which policy they followed and why, I'd bet the most likely outcome now is that Harvard settles—i.e. pays her off—and she leaves.

Just saw the new 50th anniversary restoration of Francis Ford Coppola’s THE CONVERSATION (1974) at IFC Center in New York City.

“It remains one of my favorite films,” Coppola said in a pre-taped intro. And mine too.

Gene Hackman’s deadpan paranoia is my official mood of fall.

Beyond impressive.

"Until ALICE, there hadn’t been a single mother on TV in a low income job, fighting for healthcare, fighting for benefits…Those stories came out of awareness of what was going on for working women.” — Linda Lavin

ALICE debuted on CBS tonight in 1976.

Joan Blondell #BOTD and Tyrone Power in NIGHTMARE ALLEY (1947).

She was always a natural, but she operates on another level in this film.

It's streaming free (with a library card) on Hoopla and nowhere else.

I helped found AI data worker project #turkopticon.
