Truly broken-hearted that the Yankees lost. No, not really. Yankees suck.

Finally catching up on Tommy & Tuppence on BritBox and enjoying it, but boy is everything teal and orange. To the point where it's distracting.

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

No, that’s a crime... One of my favorite things about our trips to Canada was peameal bacon.

When I was very young I went to a carnival, saw a man start to inflate his stomach with a bicycle pump, and ran out of the tent screaming. So seeing Violet blowing up after that was extremely traumatic.

Small strategy tip for the Red Sox: Don't let the Yankees load the bases.

I once interviewed someone who swore throughout the interview, I guess because he thought it would make him seem more casual. Needless to say he did not get the job.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

It is really good, and good choices on Branagh’s part. He could have chosen to cut it and didn’t, so I see and concede your point. (I reconsidered my hasty response but you replied before I could delete it.)

It's a marvelously directed and acted scene, but the *writer* dropped that in. It's in the original play.

A bare bum with music written on it. Someone is pointing at it all 'look! Arse music!'

Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.

Learned that lesson when reading "How the Leopard Got His Spots" to our kid. I was thrown by a word in there that I completely did not remember from my childhood. Some judicious editing was done, and that book got tucked out of sight afterwards.

Getty makes a ton of money out of selling public domain footage. Which is crazy. But that’s Getty. The footage is usually available free elsewhere but it’s hard to find. Great video that helps you understand where and how to find it. youtu.be/2dzqQItDmdg?...
