Mr Skin reported the following:

Seberg. Kristen Stewart goes topless twice in this flick in the first thirty minutes!

The Lighthouse. There is some nudity from Valeriia Karaman (below), who is credited in the film as a mermaid. We see her topless twice at the fifty minute mark and again 18 minutes later!

Portrait of a Lady on Fire. French foxes Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel both go topless in this flick, with Noémie clocking four nude scenes in the film’s first ninety minutes!

The Whistlers. This Romanian crime caper features a fantastic full frontal shot from Catrinel Marlon just 12 minutes in.

The Sleepwalkers. Ornella D’Elía bares terrific T&A three minutes into this new Spanish drama, standing nude in a room.

Love Me Tender. Barbara Giordano goes topless in the tub at the thirty minute mark, making her nude debut in this Swiss drama!

Entwined. Greek goddess Anastasia Rafaella Konidi shows some pokies an hour and three minutes into this new horror flick before going briefly topless while morphing into a tree eighteen minutes later!

Pelican Blood. Nina Hoss breastfeeds her adolescent daughter 65 minutes in, giving us another look at her left breast 25 minutes later!

More Sharpie-gate nonsense. Ross threatened to fire the top admins at NOAA unless they disavowed their scientists’ statement that Alabama was not at risk after the president’s pronouncement.

And to make matters worse, the top administrators at NOAA then told their scientists not to tell the truth! “This is the first time I’ve felt pressure from above to not say what truly is the forecast. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around. One of the things we train on is to dispel inaccurate rumors.”

The latest:

In an email to staff, NOAA’s acting chief scientist Craig McLean credited the National Weather Service’s Birmingham office with correcting “any public misunderstanding in an expert and timely way,” in other words, disputing the president’s misinformation. Per The Washington Post, McLean said he is “pursuing the potential violations of our NOAA Administrative Order on Scientific Integrity.”

The headline sounds jokey, but the truth is quite different from what you might think. They do contain taurine, which can come from bull semen, but they use taurine that has been synthesized in a lab. PETA says Monster Energy Drink is appropriate for a vegan diet, unlike blowing a bull

Actually, this raises an important question. Can vegans blow a bull if they don’t swallow? Asking for a friend.

OK, I admit it. It wasn’t “for a friend.” I prefer blowing a bull to drinking Red Bull. It’s more fun, and also tastes better.

My favorite of these pretentious euphemisms is “curate.”

My grandchildren have curated several dead grasshoppers in the garage. My uncle curated coins. I have curated many pictures of naked celebrities. Here’s one that really exists online: “Nearly every major news organization is using Twitter’s new lists feature to curate tweets about the earthquake.”

Right.

Dudes, I am not a curator.

The true meaning of any word has two components, denotation and connotation. For example, “average” and “mediocre” mean exactly the same thing in terms of denotation, but have different connotations, so that “average” is absent of any implied judgment, while “mediocre” is used as a pejorative. “Curate” and “collect” may be very similar in denotation, but have different connotations. In that case, “collect” is the neutral word, while “curate” is approbatory and respectful.

If you run an art museum, and you go through hundreds of possibilities, selecting only the most worthy, and you have complete professional responsibility for their presentation and preservation, based upon your specialized training and experience, then you are a curator.

If you put a few pics or tweets online, or even if you put millions, as I have, you’re just “collecting” or “organizing” them, or “assembling a collection.” You ain’t a friggin’ curator, sparky.
