Couple of things here:
1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently
2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"
3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"
4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

When you get a bunch of typewriter collectors together, everyone swaps tales of their great finds in the wild. No one has a thrilling story of buying it on eBay.
For YEARS, I have been all about THE HUNT when it comes to toys and comics! I’d LOVE tracking them down in the wild and pouncing. These days, not so much. But it’s still a very relevant topic for a storyline. And also an excuse to go nuts on the rendering a little for fun.

With absolutely no expertise in Tarantino and lots of expertise in film bros, my theory has always been that he wasn’t the movie guru of that video store: one of his co-workers was and he has been coasting on regurgitating that guy’s taste for decades but he ran out ten, fifteen years ago.

If many of us are quiet about politics online nowadays, it isn't that we don't care and we're not mobilized offline.
We talked about this for years. We warned them. So many who are upset now did not listen! They thought they knew better than we did.
So much of this suffering was preventable.
