Over the last 3 days I watched Sinners and Weapons. Neither did a backstory for the “monster”, and turns out, it wasn’t needed. Two strange but good movies.

In the Bears' post-game celebration, QB Caleb Williams got a game ball from Ben Johnson, and then gave it right back to him. He was emotional as he said, "For me personally, he’s been ... monumental in my life so far."

According to Donald Trump, nursing isn't a professional degree.
