An interesting take on the fall of Kodak. Not new, but not a perspective I'd seen before. https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/the-rise-and-fall-of-kodaks-moment According to Kamal: “The people taking pictures suddenly changed, from 60% women to 70% men. Kodak didn't know how to market to men. But even if they could get them to buy, they didn't want to, because men don't print. Unlike women, they hadn't been socialised in the role of family archivist."

New Philip Glass. Nothing earth shattering, but a nice new recording. also, a note that that cover is by Luis Álvarez Roure and is a stunning bit of portraiture.

I didn't read it, and I'm not going to because I don't care, but I wanted to second this.

@swt61 @TMoney If you are interesting in AK life, Northern Exposure is available to stream on Amazon. I have vague memories of liking it from when it was on, and it turns out to be pretty good.

Happy birthday!
