In my communication classes, I call this high-context language.

You have 2 kidneys, right? Right? There’s a way to make rent this month — or rather, pay off one of the months you owe back rent for. Sell that kidney that you’re just not in any way using.

Hamnet is on my list once it comes to streaming. (It hasn’t played theatrically near me.) As I love Hamlet, I’m a huge fan of Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, both the play and the film.

As much as I love coffee, I’ve always loved the aroma even more.

Admittedly, I use 6-digit code for that. Not a fan of biometrics to access my phone. I use biometrics within apps on my phone, but I don’t want people gaining access to my phone by simply holding it in front of my face. (Hope that doesn’t sound paranoid.)

Great cast, and legacy sequels, IMO, have been trending toward solid for the last few years, so I’m in. (Do we call this a legacy sequel, since 2013?)

Amazon apparently hired writers who aren’t familiar with the franchise beyond the Craig films. The easiest part of writing a Bond reboot is the reboot part.

they asked to be paid a living wage. And they saw that praise was reserved henceforth for those who devised means of getting paid enormously for committing crimes against which no laws had been passed. Thus the American dream turned belly up …”

Fuck, yeah. I’m in Wisconsin, so backyard funtimes aren’t much of an option right now. But an evening with Joe Bob, especially while chilling outdoors, sounds amazing.

Thanks for the information!

Stellar ep! After listening to it, I finally gave Halloween 4 a revisit for the first time this century. And yeah, it’s one of the best in the franchise. Happy to stand corrected.

Her first 4 solo albums are an amazing run of musical and lyrical brilliance, and her more recent work is also strong. Been a fan since Til Tuesday.

I stand corrected: I see it’s at the publisher’s website. Still, do you know when more stock will be available?
