One of my crackpot theories is that music biopics work best with moderately famous musicians.
e.g., I'd way rather watch a biopic of Bob Seger than Bob Dylan.

Watching Stranger Things and have come to the conclusion that I’m just sick of Eleven. She is easily the least interesting part of this story.

If I win the lottery and get truly sick money, I’m giving Obsidian all the time and resources they need to do a game.
I’m enjoying the story of Outer Worlds 2 immensely. The gameplay…is good enough. But you can see how it could be great if they had more time and money.

Oooookay. Attempt #2 to transition the small goblin to her urinary care food. Last time, she gobbled it up for two days and then refused to ever eat it again. I’m introducing a new flavor much more slowly; a teaspoon at a time. Wish me luck.

Watching the new season of Stranger Things and struggling to suspend my disbelief when the “kids” look like they need to be worried about their A1C levels.

Watching Kpop Demon Hunters and they're the Powerpuff Girls, personality-wise. Which isn't a problem, to be clear, just hadn't seen anyone mention that.
Also, yes, the tunes are indeed sick.

Very frustrating computer stuff going on. I have to take up one of my two (2!) USB C slots on my laptop with a security dongle. (It won't work plugged in a hub, I have discovered.) Ok, fine, so I try to daisy chain my one hub into the other and....it doesn't work. Nothing. UGH.

Ok, I need your help figuring this out.
Busta Rhymes on the TMNT float: perfect pairing.
Lil John on the Toys R Us float: absurd.
What’s the substantive difference?

Holland America didn’t get the memo. Their float is both gorgeous *and* is matched with an appropriate performer.

The combination of singers and floats in the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade never disappoints.
“Ok, who do we put in the Jennie-O float? It’s a giant golden turkey with a bowler hat.”
“Oh, that’s Shaggy, obviously.”
“The Jamaican guy? Real deep voice?Mister Lover Lover?”
“That’s the one.”

It is both really sweet and really annoying how jealous my dogs are of each other. The big one, especially, always makes damn sure she gets whatever the little ones get. Snuggles, snacks, blanket access, mom access, whatever.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
