He/Him - Detroiter and Educator, trying to find community in nerdiness and taking down capitalism. Stay cool, punch Nazis.
This sounds delightful as hell.

Today we also watched Home Alone. Despite the unfathomable child neglect (and an ease of air travel that seems unreal in 2024) this is a really fun movie. How is this entire family so shitty to an 8 year old though?!

Okay, this one might be controversial. Frosty the Snowman. I realize it is a classic, and the story is fine, I'm just not a big fan of this one, and I kind of think Frosty is annoying. Sorry.

Next up is the Muppet Christmas Carol. A classic, and my personal favorite. Michael Caine treats this film like the high art it is. It has everything. Songs, Muppets, anti-capitalist themes. It's the best.

First up is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. This one is a family tradition, so there is a lot of nostalgia with it. There are definitely some parts that didn't age well, but it still has some of the best bits.

Once when I was in high school, I was looking for Civil Disobedience, and couldn't find it in our school library, so the school librarian printed off the entire book from a PDF for me.
