There was a photo posted of Hugh Jackman arriving in LAX wearing a mask, taken on Nov 5. So people who think seriously about their health are taking measures to protect it.

Just imagine how many crypto bros are whispering in his ear. In 2018 I was sitting at a coffee shop in between meetings and I had this view, while I was there a guy came in and wheeled this Bitcoin ATM machine out because it had already risen in value to be impractical as regular currency.

It isn't widely publicized, but all the behind the scenes of current movie and TV production has the crew masked, as they can't afford to risk having the star talent get sick at the cost of production delay, and the well paid production staff don't want to get sidelined with illness either.

I see that they brought that imagery forward from the movie for the DVD release. It was more subtle in the original poster. 😬

At least it's not an EV 664. 😏That would be quaint, but could also be considered carrying a weapon.

Band-Maid always deliver a great experience when purchasing their CD/Blu-Ray packages. Includes a bonus CD of walk-on music, a poster, a special pick with the Dilly-Dally song logo. Always feels like a worthwhile purchase.

Interesting distribution of measles in 2025. 5056 cases so far, just in 2025. 😬Most of the cases were in the early part of the year, only 153 cases since August 23.

Owwww ouch. 😬That's a nasty black eye. The last time I looked like that after a crash was on Powder Face Ridge trail doing a Super Dynamic Crash and Burn back in the late 80's. I hope you heal quickly and the inevitable Polaroid bruises fade quickly.

The first three songs will pin you to the wall with awesomeness: 1. Don't you tell ME; 2. Puzzle; 3. Moratorium. The rest of the album continues with splendid tunes, from Yolo to Secret My Lips.

One would have expected that appealing to both vanity and virility would have worked on men who lost hair and "performance ability" as a result of covid infections. It should have been more effective than appealing to long term health.🤔 It almost sounds like a joke setup. 😁

It's not even a contest, and luckily they have dozens of T-shirt designs so it never gets dull, I must have over 30 different shirts from Band-Maid. 😁

It's just crazy that anyone has an opinion about someone wearing a mask to go anywhere to do anything. Here's four screen caps from a few minutes of streetscape in Shibuya live from minutes ago. 😷 Most of the people on these streets know what the benefits are, without arguments.
