Confession: I have never seen the Jim Carrey Grinch movie. I always found the face prosthetics grotesque.

I’ve been re-watching Black Sails, and it is just as thrilling as my first watch. The naval battles are badass, and I love the politics among the factions of pirates, colonies, and England. I really wish there were more shows about pirates.

Here’s your weekend #owl content.

A western screeching owl staring directly into the camera lens from its oak tree branch. It is presenting relatively soft features and wide open eyes.

A western screeching owl perched just outside its oak tree hollow at sunset. It is presenting sharp features as it is peering out, ready to go hunt for the evening.

I’m just gonna keep posting pics of this owl. This is an owl account now.

Finally in my birder era, stalking this western screeching owl that post up near me.

A telephoto image of a western screeching owl perched in an oak tree. Aware of my presence, she is squinting her eyes and is displaying sharp features directly to the camera.

The last three movies Aaron Eckhart has done have cast him as CIA or ex-CIA. I just find that a little funny.

I know it isn’t kosher as someone “in the industry” to speak poorly of tv and movies, but I seriously cannot believe Apple TV+ gave Invasion a third season. This show is so poorly written that I think ChatGPT could do a better job. It’s got serious crappy-elf-first-draft-energy.

A selection of a New Yorker interview with a Simpsons writer talking about getting a crappy first draft written, with the following text selected:

“It’s like a crappy little elf has snuck into my office and badly done all my work for me, and then left with a tip of his crappy hat.”

I love that Apple TV+ can do the sci-fi, it can do the comedy, it can do the thriller, and it can do the Hallmark.

How do I opt out of this category of alert in particular?

An screenshot of an iPhone notification reading:

“public safety alert
Blue alert: suspect is Benjamin song, wanted for involvement in the serious injury of a law enforcement officer. Song is a 32-year-old Asian male last seen in Alvarado Texas. Call the federal Bureau of investigation tip line with information. If seen call 911.“

I recently discovered you can create custom lists in Google Maps (which I use extensively for saving restaurants). Now I can mark the spots run by MAGA fucks I will absolutely never support.

As we said in the last Common Sense (and as anyone paying attention already knows) POTUS' move in Los Angeles is designed to provoke. He WANTS the federally-controlled show of force & he wants the confrontation (hence the careful use of key words "insurrection" and "rebellion"...

One thing they don’t tell you about living in dense urban areas is how you can watch an Amazon (sorry) truck arrive on your block in the morning and you still won’t get your delivery until evening.

I have an SNL sketch pitch about countries wanting their gold back from the US, but it requires a familiarity with the classic film It’s a Wonderful Life.

Okay I don’t watch Fox/OAN/News’Max so I don’t know the current narrative, but I have been speaking to conservatives about real-world tariff applications and it seems the prevailing perspective is: “How dare businesses hike prices in response to tariffs that affect their bottom line.”
