There is probably a good GI:JOE story to be told about America being taken over by fascists and COBRA winding up becoming the resistance by default.

GI:Joe RAH could only have gotten as popular as it did, when it did.
A time of major economic prosperity, low material costs, and when war was something that was something kids only knew from stories their parents told.
That world no longer exists.

Cold and rainy holiday. No reason I should feel even the least bit guilty about spending hours and hours building a massive dinosaur out of tiny plastic bricks.
None, whatsoever.
You hear me, brain?
None. What-so-EVER!

Trying a different Japanese alcoholic drink every day in February
Day 10
Yellow Shot Lemon Squash from Suntory
I *hate* this! 😂 This is, by far, the worst drink I’ve had this month.
It’s everything I complained about with Strong Zero but somehow even worse. 🤮

It’s like we’re living through the Hate Plague in Transformers except a small but vocal enough group of people are like “I’ve done my own research and I don’t trust the accumulated wisdom that resides within the Matrix.”

You would think that the one thing that would bring all people together, the thing that everyone could agree on, the thing that would unite the world is the fact that Donald Trump is, for dozens of reasons, a vile man the likes of which has rarely been seen in history and must stopped.

I am still in disbelief that so many white Americans responded to a Spanish-speaking performer at a football game that they went full mask-off racist in public
Seemed like not too long ago that was the kind of shit folks’d keep to themselves for fear of being scorned by polite society

Wife, returning from work: How was your day?
Me: Depression and anxiety kicked my entire ass.
Wife: Stayed in bed?
Me: Cooked, had coffee, walked 12k steps, got groceries, fixed broken clock, did laundry, washed dishes, entertained cats, and put two hours into the giant LEGO dinosaur.
Wife: 😮

While I’ve no doubt the finished product will look spectacular, having the first *two hours* of building spent on assembling *most of* the stand was certainly a choice. 😆

Power Rangers has a lot of parallels with Transformers.
Not the least of which is that the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie soundtrack absolutely slaps

I’m embarrassed by a lot of shit I said and did in my teens and early-20s, but being a very public supporter of Richard Dawkins is right near the top of the list

Made a run to the convenience store. Whole body felt cold.
That was really when it hit me how much size I’ve lost off my gut since starting no-beer February.
Embarrassing physical change after just one week.
