I don't think that's something you can go to jail for.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

When I see movies where one character is a raging asshole meant to be despised, I think of all the real raging assholes in the audience, and wonder if they think "Boy, what a prick that guy is!" or "I don't get what's supposed to be so bad about this guy."

This sandwich is wheat bread grilled in anchovy oil and butter. Inside is more butter, and the anchovies. It's good, but a bit much.

I know it's probably his most famous album, so I doubt I'm saying anything everyone doesn't already think but RED-HEADED STRANGER rules.

here are 14 albums that turned 50 this year that you might dig www.dontrocktheinbox.com/14-essential...
14 Essential 1975 Country Albums
'70s country is the source of plenty of current nostalgia despite being made (gulp) a half century ago. There are so many great albums that hit the 50 mark this year, though, and it only seemed right ...

I would start with BRIEF INTERVIEWS WITH HIDEOUS MEN, which is where I started. Then INFINITE JEST, and several non-fiction essays. I want to read OBLIVION next.

I also often have to remind myself, or check first, to see if it's Edgar Allen Poe, or Edgar Allan Poe. I know it's Allan, but I can never remember.

Went to check my old blog to see if I'd written about something before, and became annoyed by a comment from 4 years ago, under the post I was checking on, and that I never saw, which insinuates I don't know who Flannery O'Conner is. Fuming right now.

This is remarkable. Beautiful and heartbreaking. Coincidentally, I recently bought a collection of Futrelle's "Thinking Machine" stories. I wish I had time to read them now, but it'll have to wait.

Still making my way through this and enjoying it - puzzle stories with a Holmesian detective. Have also learned that Jacque Futrelle died on the Titanic, after insisting that his wife Lily May Peel get on a lifeboat without him, which she later wrote about for the Boston Sunday Post.
" For the second time I was on the promenade deck. There was real alarm shown on the faces of the officers now, and the boats were being filled hurriedly. Again I saw a boat lowered away, and once again I turned back, not wish- ing to leave Jack. I could not find him this time. I ran through the cabin, with my heart full of fear, not with the fear of death, but with the fear of leaving my husband, filled with the agony which the separation brought. Finally I encountered him at one side standing with an officer. When he saw me he said, "This will never do, you must get into a boat." He took me on the starboard side, and put me in boat No. 16. I thought my heart would break, at the thought of leaving him. He told me that I was only endangering his chances by staying, for he could get along him- self in the water with a life belt, but e he could not hold me up with him. He told me that he would cling on to one of the boats and be picked up. I would never have left him, even then, but he whispered to me, "Remember the children."" The last I saw of my husband he was standing beside Colonel Astor. He had a cigarette in his mouth. As I watched him, be lighted a match and held it in his cupped hands before his face. By its light I could see his eyes roam anxiously out over the water. Then he dropped his head toward his hands and lighted his cigarette. I saw Colonel Astor turn toward Jacques and a second later Jacques handed the colonel his cigarete box. The colonel screened Jacques' hands with his own, and their faces stood out together as the match flared at the cigarette tip. I know those hands never trembled. This was not an act of bravado. Both men must have realized that they must die.

i'm falling down a "modern stand-up comedians are, except for maybe three, all awful people" hole this morning, which is probably not the best way for me to spend my morning. Though I have learned that Dane Cook originated the "Karen" meme. So think about that the next time you make a "Karen" joke.
