There are better comic artists than Paul Chadwick... I've just never seen them.

Very saddened to hear of Robert Redford's passing. He seemed a man who walked his talk as best he could, and his work both in front of and behind the camera brought much joy.

No TARDIS, DeLoreans, Terminators, or starships named Enterprise allowed, I guess?

To this day, I remain irrationally disappointed that Statham didn’t play a character named Detective Chaos in the movie CHAOS.
Better taglines for Jason Statham movies than the ones they used
The Meg: He’s going to jump the shark
The Beekeeper: This is plan bee
A Working Man: Time to punch in
The Meg 2: Fins can only get better
The Transporter: Prepare to be moved

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

Our libraries and library professionals are keystones of our communities fostering minds and offering services to individuals regardless of background. We must lift them up, especially this National Library Week, and demand that Trump and DOGE do not gut support for these vital institutions.

Ill advised for a clip of NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN (a movie they had nothing to do with producing) to be included in the Oscar tribute to Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
