All Her Fault had a great start, but its drive is kind of collapsing mid-way. Now on episode 7 and I'll definitely finish it and would recommend watching the show, but I really hope the ending is a stunning twist to make the second half of the series worth it.

if you’ve never seen Interview with the Vampire, it ends with the vampire being told he’s made it through to a second interview

Finally watched The Substance, now that it's on HBO Max. Grotesque, but very well executed. Visually superb.

I didn't mind that Tame Impala shifted more to dance music over the years, but Deadbeat sounds kind of bland on first listen. Uninspired.

Someone please make a Cracker Barrel logo with Bad Bunny instead of the old man.

Rochelle Jordan's new album is pretty good. The rest is more uptempo than this, but I like this song.

People who don't use punctuation in their posts probably also don't use their blinker while driving.

But on the plus side, if you watch a movie with them that they've already seen, they probably won't tell you what happens next.

The cheering a bit later is embarrassing though.
Trump tries to goad the Navy into booing "Barack Hussein Obama" but is met mostly with silence

Red Hearted IPA is actually a pretty nice Fall Beer. This is from the variety pack, but they should release it as its own six-pack.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

There is no longer room in America to be "apolitical."

We can no longer assume that the rest of the nation operates in its best interests and will carry American democracy across the finish line for us.

Every person who cares about living in a free society must mobilize their passion and power.

They want to put both Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump on a coin.

It'll be the currency known as ShitCoin.

I know vaping, while bad for your health, is better than smoking, but people who vape look more addicted. Inhaling stuff from a little device just looks desperate. At least smoking can look cool. I guess I can't say this without sounding like a dick.

The outrage over a latino American artist performing the Superbowl halftime show because he sings in Spanish is not lost on those of us who know racism when we see it. Also, many people don't seem to know Puerto Ricans are American citizens.

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

It just feels so weird to agree with Bill Kristol all the time. I mean, it's good.....but it still feels weird.
Maybe guns should be harder to get, and mental health treatment should be easier to get, in today's America.

Kind of the opposite of what the Trump administration and the Republican Party want.
