Bigots, TERFs and other such morons, including those who believe DEI practices take jobs, just fuck off. They don't, you're an idiot, I'm being polite, and no you won't change my mind.
Everyone else? Hello! Film and TV nerd here. It's nice to talk.

If Zootopia 2 drops a line about a place where a bunch of pigs live in the continental American South called Mihami, I might have to award it Film of the Year.

Heads up: If you haven't read A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by @tkingfisher.com (and frankly that's criminal in the first place) and you're on Audible, it's part of the 2 for 1 sale right now. You won't regret it.
It has a possibly sentient, probably murderous sourdough starter in it.

So I looked into picking up Power Rangers Prime again after I fell off at issue 3. Issues 4-10 aren't on Kindle.
Welp, guess that's me out of Power Rangers Prime, then. Thanks, Amazon. Bastards.

yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

So I'd get fired in about ten minutes then. Been working my current job for seven and a half years now and I can only make eye contact with maybe four or five people, all of whom work there and I've worked with directly. Never had a customer complaint about me looking at their teeth, though.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Trust me, the '00s BBC show was worse.
Wait, the new Robin Hood show is doing fantasy magic sh-- and Sean Bean is The Sherriff? Well that sounds ...BAD? but also like I want to watch 100+ episodes of it once a week for several years?

The Twits on Netflix? More like The Pits. Absolute bollocking shite. No trace or remnant or sniff of Dahl's charm, a script full of absolute twaddle and absolutely nothing to redeem any of it. I hope the pay checks were worth it, because this film isn't.
