| | rantnrave:// Not much raving today. Enjoy the extra items below... Late publish today. I'm a bit wrecked from lack of sleep and jet lag and I've already been super condescended to before 10 am! And apparently, according to JON LOVETT, I sleep sitting up on a plane. It's true. Not good... I'll be UBERing at RECODE all day... WONDER WOMAN is a global hit. The amazing thing about it isn't the female director or female superhero, it's that anyone has reason to find those things amazing in the first place. But can these real-life action stars shatter Hollywood's glass ceiling for real? We take a look at the issues... Living in public has upsides and downsides... I want to believe, I hope, our system is like the MILLENNIUM FALCON. It can get beat up and worn down but ultimately doesn't let us down... D2C companies are looking to upend retail's traditional wholesale model, putting tech and efficiency at the core of their businesses. As they continue to scale and new brands enter the space, have they instituted a seismic change for retail?... This sums me up. ARIANNA, please call me... Nothing quite like the sight of a bully not capable of realizing that it won't work anymore. Meltdown. Fall. Then the realization and shame... I love the idea of more video integration into TWITTER. Last night's CLAWS premiere was a cool example of the telephone and the conversation. Not perfect yet, but right direction... Happy Birthday to JOSHUA KUSHNER and NANCY RABINOWITZ. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| Obviously the dust is still swirling around the election, since it has thrown up more questions than answers. And we’re still waiting for some of the actual election data about turnout and so on. But there are some initial conclusions that can be drawn. This is the first of two posts, since I tried to write it as one post and it got far too long. | | |

Arching across it, their slender hydraulic arms uproot small trees and drag them through the clay-coloured water as they gouge out mud from the canal bed. | | |
