...movie has the curious vagueness of intent that makes so many "meaningful" works of fiction not all that meaningful. I'd be happy to accept Greenberg as a portrait of the terrible insecurities and needs that bring the lovely person and the stinker together. But I doubt that Baumbach intended to make a dramatized version of Smart Women, Foolish Choices. It seems out of character, and the tone is not that of a cautionary tale. I worry that he sees Greenberg as a modern, ennui-filled love story and believes, like Florence, that Greenberg can be saved by the love...
...Republic, but when. It could be in a matter of weeks (On Friday, Chinese media was reporting April 10 as the last day). Google employees can't say so publicly, of course - and some of the 700-plus employees who work at the company's Beijing headquarters will no doubt retain their jobs - but to say that others are fatalistic is to put it mildly.

...that is slowly but steadily raising global sea levels, and scientists worry that climate change could suddenly accelerate that vast melting. But the models indicate that ice loss should be happening on the western edge of the continent, where it is warmer, not in the much cooler east. No doubt there are complicated scientific reasons for this, but it pretty much boils down to what one researcher told a reporter: "There are some crazy things going down in Antarctica." It's a reminder that while the global-warming wars will continue, Earth has no obligation to stand still...
