i watched "Eddington" because of the critical controversy about it.

I feel like I can safely say that the plot to this movie has a good premise that becomes incoherent.

There I just saved you two+ hours of your life.

I decided to prepare for the Worst

The stoics (ancient) suggested that preparing for the Worst should be a daily exercise.

For them, the Worst wouldn't arrive on a daily basis, but preparing for the emotional hit was a discipline.

One thing the 1983 film "Wargames" gets correct is "ai hallucination."

In 1983, I watched this film wondering how people could become so foolish. And, now...

I'm watching "Wargames" which was one of my favorite movies when I was young.

One thing I'm struck by after all these years is how much David Lightman uses whatever is available to him to problem solve.

I could not be on this jury because I would not be able to keep a straight face during the prosecution's case.
Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

I watched John Oliver's show on Medicare Advantage, and I have two thoughts.
1.)Any time you see "advantage" in a health insurance product it means a narrower network, i. e. fewer provider options.
2.) Med Adv is Part C of the stature so it is indeed correct to call it "Medicare."
