Kid walks in and hands me a piece of his handlebars, which is not great because they were in one piece when he started practicing his bar spins a little bit ago. Gotta call Mongoose Friday for a warranty redemption.

"Wake Up Dead Man" is absolute magic and a wonderful character driven mystery. 10/10 movie.

"Who else loves these?" Statistically, most movie goers at their times of releasing and quite a few people since.
Cheap engagement BS. Scrape the barrel some more, you're not quite to splinters.

Saw THOT SQUAD live last night and it was one of the best shows of my life. She and her producer (and husband) Ben really bring an incredible live energy that is pure, raw fun.

Leavitt: Why aren't you talking about what these members of congress are doing to encourage violence…. They're literally saying to 1.3 million active duty service members not to follow lawful orders

Securing defections from the authoritarian regime is the centerpiece of any successful pro-democracy resistance.
Politics isn’t fandom—when someone leaves the authoritarian coalition, we should take it as a win.

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

There's roughly four to five film critics I consider to be actually good at both finding media you missed and recommending media you might overlook.
BJ sits at the top of that list.

I adored #InYourDreams and desperately need more filmmakers to be brave enough not to talk down to the children who will be watching their films.

Netflix's In Your Dreams Is The Best Pixar Movie They Never Made - SlashFilm
The animated film In Your Dreams feels like it takes lessons from early Pixar movies by balancing jokes with heavier themes than you might expect.

I no longer use "moron"
So I will not say that a person—a Fed governor!!—who claims that immigration has been a major source of housing inflation is "a moron."
Instead I'll say that he is "uninformed" about home-construction biz, median rent or purchase prices from immigrants, etc
Also, a bigot.

Fed Governor Stephen Miran: "Cutting down net migration to 0, potentially even negative because of the deportations that have been occurring, I think is very deflationary."
