The scariest Christmas story:

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Except for A DRACULA

I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

Just mentioning it off-hand, but on top of being the best Far Cry game since Primal, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a much better story than the films.

No white saviors here. You're a Na'vi abducted at childhood to be groomed into a corporate 'ambassador'. It's far more pointedly anti-colonialist.

Gift shopping for loved ones can be demoralizing because it's oh, you love them? Name literally anything they would like.

I don't think anyone really understands how we will deal with leases that exceed the life of the building. It's an interesting question. (In contrast we do know that 100y leases cause problems and need extending, because buildings do last 100+ years).

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.

So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

Sick to death of people claiming Die Hard isn’t a movie. There are several clues that it definitely is:

It’s 130 minutes long and full of actors

It has a beginning a middle and an end

It has a soundtrack

The aspect ratio is consistent of other movies of the era

Your annual reminder that if you get this cracker joke and are confused by it, it's apparently because "ffi" is a special character in some fonts and when the typeface is changed to one that doesn't have it, those letters disappear. It's supposed to be "coffin medicine".
