#filmsky #NowWatching AS YOUNG AS YOU FEEL (1951) and the scene where the teenage son is eating lunch and mom tells him she's divorcing his dad--a BFD in 1951--and young squire is upset but does NOT stop eating and I knew right then the screenwriter had *absolutely* raised a teenage boy

#NowWatching THE INCREDIBLES, made 21 years ago, and marveling that it somehow foresaw the twin dangers represented by techbros and AI/machine learning

I dumped Facebook back in 2015. It was discovered that "META" provided Russia election rich data via Cambridge Analytics. Russians used that data to target voters and get Trump elected. Fancy Bear a Russian hacker group hacked the DNC emails in 2015. FCK FACEBOOK

just paid my car registration online, using a credit card, and one of the DMV's payment fields asked for the "Expiry date" and that's a little more hip than I prefer from my state gov't

(this old guy's use of "hip" is deliberately ironic, but I have *no* idea what the kids are saying these days...)

y'all need to revolt, boys and girls, not resign; what have you got to lose?

stand up to Trump; he will fold Every. Single. Time.

put a bill you know he will veto, then override it; show him who's in charge

did y'all learn NOTHING from the Epstein vote?
