In honor of Fire Prevention Week, Roxanne and I watched the 1948 documentary Going to Blazes! and discuss the value of fire fighters, the history of fire insurance, and just how much the process of making a documentary has changed over the years.

Went to lunch with my mother-in-law today. We sat outside because the weather was so beautiful and now the entire left side of my face is sunburned while the right side looks totally normal. I look like I'm practicing to be a Batman villain.

Since the start of COVID, the number of people reporting a disability soared. Yet the majority of the world acts like COVID is over, and Long COVID doesn't exist.

Anti-vaccination rhetoric is also a policy failure.
Healthcare is so expensive people turn to alternative healthcare settings and groups which lead them to conspiracy theories and the alt-right.

One of my favorite things is rewatching a movie or show I've loved for years and suddenly discovering someone in the cast who is super famous now. This weekend we watched the Ryan Reynolds remake of The Amityville Horror and discovered that Chloe Grace Moretz played the little girl!

Shy people, you can leave a voicemail for Gov. Hochul at this number right now!
Yesterday she said it sounded "undemocratic" to fire him. THE CALLS ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING, Y'ALL. Tell her to fire Adams NOW. 1-518-474-8390
On MSNBC, Gov. Hochul does not commit to removing Mayor Adams, but implies she may consider it. "I'm consulting with other leaders in government at this time. We've got to have one sane person in the state who can cut through all the crap (and) say, 'What (does) my responsibility guide me to do?'"

Instead of watching the big game this year, we decided to introduce our kid to the movie Misery. Chips and dip, cupcakes, and a horror movie is a big step up IMHO!

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

I wondered why I've always been so comfortable watching horror movies. Then I stumbled upon some of the old Don Bluth cartoons we used to watch when I was a kid and now it makes total sense.
