Netflix's adaptation of Jane Austen's #Persuasion "appears to have lifted sentences from the novel and fed them through some kind of Instagram-filtering, catchphrase-generating, text-summarizing idiot bot," writes @JustinCChang. latimes.com/entertainment-ar…
Review: Netflix's Jane Austen adaptation 'Persuasion' is a dreadful film, never to be borne

Dakota Johnson plays Anne Elliot in an ill-advisedly "Fleabag" key in this flat-footed adaptation of one of Austen's finest works.

Last week I shared a FB memory and I think it's time I shared it here, too. I discovered it in Thisbe Nissen's OUR LADY OF THE PRAIRIE. The Pirkei Avot is a compilation of Jewish teachings We are not obligated to complete the work but neither are we free to abandon it.

Persuasion: the less-famous 1995 BBC Austen adaptation that deserves a sincere revival

Unlike Elizabeth Bennet, Anne Elliot is not playful or witty but quiet, sensible, and regrets not having the courage of her convictions

Wow this Craigslist ad is intense
Ad saying Beautiful isabella miniature dachshund stunning heterogeneous eyes. One eye is blue the other is green. Very rare. Looking for loving homes only. If you are in dire need of a special mini doxy to meet your special needs. She has the ability to be a service dog for emotional support or even tasks such as people with epilepsy. This is a multi-dimensional being having an experience here on Earth during these unprecedented times as a dog and she needs a loving home. This is not your usual black or tan dachshund. Very rare dachshund and has always been kept in a low stress environment for her longevity. Reply with name and number if your heart guides you to this girl. I am not a breeder and I am not looking to give her to anyone.

In 2007 isotope experts from Bradford University examined this object under powerful microscopes - a lock of Anne Bronte's hair! They found that Anne had a balanced diet, including vegetables, dairy and protein - in contrast to some stories that the Brontes had a poor diet!

In 1848 Anne& Charlotte Bronte stayed at the Chapter Coffee House in London, in the shadow of St Paul's. Here are some photos I took of St Paul's in 2019; it's such a beautiful cathedral.

I had to look up the etymology of bupkis/bupkes/etc today, & I was not disappointed. Bupkes, or באָבקעס means literally "turds, goat/sheep droppings" in Yiddish and has come to mean "nothing" or "something worthless" in English. Source: jel.jewish-languages.org/wor…
