Season 9 had some fine episodes, also some poor ones, but all of them had the hallmarks of the coming collapse (as did the latter production half of season 8). I weirdly recall actively disliking this one when first broadcast. I've softened a bit on it since.

This is a possibility but honestly I think the correct solution is to use the James Bond name and get a director that's very good at making quick, good, and low budget action movies done. And make a ton, like the original novels. Oceans 11 but Bond, maybe.

I'm not sure I have any receipts of how Humble Bundles used to do it, but this feels very, very low to the charity and the actual source of what they're selling than when they started... very sad.

It's maybe okay to do passes that low at an air show or similar. But if it really is just "randomly" buzzing a beach that puts the beach goers at an increased risk without their consent and is bad.

It's incredible how different it is to drive north of Leesburg now compared to 20-30 years ago. Data centers, corporate highrises, and suburban sprawl galore. Still fun to drive past some of the OG Ashburn data centers are and where AOL's (at the time massive) data center was.

In the DC area, we had very nice ADC maps (later brought by Langenscheidt then Kappa) which had logical regions with consistency: either a county or multiple combined. I go to MA and their map books are by *town* and pages are *alphabetical* and *radically* different in scale.

VA Route 7 NW of Tysons is a legit goofy road now. It's almost restricted-access highway but not. And it's lined by 15 foot high walls on both sides. With occasional gaps for driveways and roads. It's such a weird roadway now. Feels like it's a weird mushy middle now that's impossible to improve.

Two things it seems like the Dominion outage map has given up/broken? Also it seems like ALXnow is doing weird summaries, what does "will have power restored by either 1 a.m. or 3 a.m" mean.

I finally watched "Master and Commander: Far Side of the World" (I've read some of the novels). I liked it and will have more thoughts but the Peacock stream of it felt like a DVD transfer. Wrong aspect ratio and not a lot of detail. Worked as a retro thing but I need to watch a better version

Finally watched "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" and, yeah, it's very good. It's better and further out than Into in some ways and also less a single story. But maybe it'll become better if Beyond ends up working.

I feel like we need to figure out what is wrong with the Pixar writers now. Why do they need to top each other to make the saddest possible movie ever, for kids? Why has that been their goal starting from at least Pixar 3 (which I know I'm in the minority but I think 2 should have been the end).
