I’ve been re-watching Black Sails, and it is just as thrilling as my first watch. The naval battles are badass, and I love the politics among the factions of pirates, colonies, and England.

I really wish there were more shows about pirates.

I’m just gonna keep posting pics of this owl. This is an owl account now.

Finally in my birder era, stalking this western screeching owl that post up near me.

There’s actually only 2 seasons. Liquid coconut oil season and solid coconut oil season.

Surely Dump will be sending the national guard to Orem, Utah immediately, right?

The last three movies Aaron Eckhart has done have cast him as CIA or ex-CIA. I just find that a little funny.

I know it isn’t kosher as someone “in the industry” to speak poorly of tv and movies, but I seriously cannot believe Apple TV+ gave Invasion a third season.

This show is so poorly written that I think ChatGPT could do a better job.

It’s got serious crappy-elf-first-draft-energy.

If I ever want to feel stupid, I just go to the NYT Crossword subreddit to see how quickly people are solving the puzzles.

I love that Apple TV+ can do the sci-fi, it can do the comedy, it can do the thriller, and it can do the Hallmark.

Whenever I put aluminum foil in the recycle bin, I feel a sense of righteousness. I’m feeding it something pure.

I recently discovered you can create custom lists in Google Maps (which I use extensively for saving restaurants). Now I can mark the spots run by MAGA fucks I will absolutely never support.

As we said in the last Common Sense (and as anyone paying attention already knows) POTUS' move in Los Angeles is designed to provoke. He WANTS the federally-controlled show of force & he wants the confrontation (hence the careful use of key words "insurrection" and "rebellion"...

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.
