There are 4 Pink Floyds, really.
The first two? Not my favorite thing, but i can enjoy it. Nice to space out to. Noodly, pleasant guitar solos. I can appreciate it. Or I could before I really found out what Roger Waters was. Would not listen to that music now.
The last two? Absolutely not.
iIdon't think so.
I think a metacritic score or the rt average critic rating (not the rt%, which i think is not very useful) tell you something.
It's not the final authority on a movie or whether i'm going to like it.
But it's still a useful filter for sorting out whether i might be interested in something.

fwiw, charles murray started a thread at bluesky containing current college testing data to see if it would be removed & if he'd be suspended. it's still up a day later.

but maybe the fact it was specifically put there as a dare made the mods feel like they shouldn't remove it.
that's a good point. i'll make that change.
cremieux has updated her post to include the act data for this year.
https://www.cremieux.xyz/p/2024-sat-data-drop?open=false#%C2%A7what-about-the-act
with whites set to a mean of 100, the numbers are:
asian avg 108
hispanic 90.79
black 87.11
asians make up 39% of the top decile, whites 45.7%, blacks about 2-3%.
No problem.
Even if your library system doesn't have an agreement with Kanopy, they may have another service like Hoopla. The library here has both Kanopy & Hoopla.
I actually prefer Hoopla. It has a better selection overall, at least for my tastes.
No commercials.
It's a good service. They have a nice selection of snobby criterion stuff, docs & some trash.
Depending on what plan your library subscribes to, you'll likely be limited to 5-7 movies per month, though.
It's not universally available. Your local library will have to subscribe to it. I believe some big regions, like New York, dropped it because of tight budgeting.
I'd followed the polls, knew the trends, but still couldn't bring myself to believe it could happen again.
I'm still truly surprised at how open so many Americans are to someone so nutty & erratic & weird.
It's almost like the US has elected Andy Kaufman.
I'm not completely unhappy.
the Fox news exit poll shows that the Jewish vote went 66% for Harris.

that would be the lowest Jewish vote total for a Democrat since Dukakis.
