For all the commentary that there was a coverup about Biden's health, the cone of silence around Trump is something. There's a lot of visual evidence!

Something is definitely going on here. This is a video where I'm talking about what seems to be going on with the unfortunate president. They're not telling us the truth for sure. This was an interesting post I saw on here and I just wanted to expand on it a little bit. Check it out.

Yet another reason to support your local library! It's not as funny as the promos made it out to be but it was still quite good. Good rainy/snow day watch, perhaps?
If you missed it earlier this year, Andrew Ahn's sweet reimagining of THE WEDDING BANQUET has just arrived on Kanopy. It's free to stream without ads or subscriptions, all through participating libraries.

The Muppets Christmas Carol is just top notch stuff, man. So many great performances, including obviously by Michael Caine but also Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and the vegetable muppets. I could go on and on.

The fact that Netflix could afford to buy warner brothers means they could've afforded to let us share passwords.

Got sacked by the charity shop for putting the fiction into alphabetical order & categorising the non-fiction.
Seriously.
These are people who don't care about books, and don't realise how people who do care about books browse.
No-one's going to go through every shelf looking for something.

A core 2028 criterion for me is 'hates political podcasts' because that is the exclusive home of these loser-ass hand-ammo-to-the-enemy sound bites and nothing else. If you go on a podcast it had better involve reciting the lyrics to Gangsta's Paradise between shots of ghost pepper tequila.

The only thing I've seen directed by Tarantino is 'Jackie Brown' but I just never understood the appeal. (Also seen 'From Dusk till Dawn' and 'The Rock' for which he apparently did some writing/producing).
I don't want him anywhere near Star Trek.
