November was a great month for first time watches! Hamnet, Sentimental Value and Wake Up Dead Man were my favorites and all 3 will end up on my Top Ten of 2025 list.

There’s nothing like a few five minute power outages at our house on Thanksgiving morning to rocket your anxiety up to 11…
Here’s to hoping it stops by the time the turkey’s ready to go in…

We’ve spent our week watching some Criterion Collection films that we’ve never seen before to determine if we should want any from the Barnes and Noble sale. Also, a Joachim Trier watch in honor of Sentimental Value!

Seeing this at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social tomorrow. That trailer just made it feel like one that needs to be seen on a big screen!
Train Dreams is in theaters this weekend before it goes to Netflix and you should see it in theaters. It's excellent. I've seen a couple times already and I'd still drop everything for 95 minutes and watch it again right now www.avclub.com/train-dreams...
Train Dreams persist through changing times in ethereal, awestruck drama
Train Dreams is a thoroughly engrossing period piece of dreamy details, quietly told and expertly performed.

Not every idea is worth airing. Not every point of view is worth hearing. Not everything that "a lot of people believe" should be credentialed by homepage space. Would the NYT editorial board run "Did Homosexuals Ruin Culture?" or "Did Black People Get Too Big for Their Britches?" I guess we'll see.

Delete the app. Don't use it. They are proudly promoting ICE ads, and the CEO is just a trash human being.
Make an example of one company. All they worship is money. The color green trumps all others.

It’s quite believable!

Dogs too. Our dog got me up at 6am this morning to go outside. After watching that World Series game, I was a zombie.

That’s the playoffs though! Playoffs are unpredictable. Expect the unexpected. Both teams played their hearts out last night, but the Dodgers prevailed.

People should use their SNAP benefits for whatever they think they need. Both because any effort you make to micromanage purchases is inefficient and cumbersome and because people who need help aren’t obligated to perform for or satisfy others in order to eat.
