Fine, using the word “weak” if it could be seen as applying to someone else may have been a poor choice.  But my god is he 100% correct.  People in general have GOT to realize that “Twitter blowing up” over something is maybe a few thousand people out of the 330 million in this country.  It’s not reality.  I can’t…

So, because a couple of slackjawed yokels on Twitter were offended on somebody else’s behalf, Boyega has to apologize for a statement in which he clearly was talking about himself.

Sounds like the debates my wife and I used to have about Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood.

Meanwhile, on the same TMZ (yuck!) link about Justin Hartley (who?) and his wife (huh?), there was this insignificant item:

In particular, that scene where Andrew Lincoln’s character shows up unannounced at the recently-married Keira Knightly’s house on Christmas Eve to tell her that, hey, he’ll stand outside her proverbial window all her goddamn life if he has to until she realizes the error of her romantic ways.

Ah The Marriage Story, that totally relatable tale of a newly minted MacArthur Fellow going through a divorce with his wife, who is now starring in a network TV show.

Lupita Nyong’o was 100% robbed. Whatever else you want to say about Us, she was phenomenal in it. 

I will never get over how many amazing performances get snubbed because it’s in a horror film.

His unfortunate passing is another reminder to myself of how damn lucky I am to be alive. As an ex opiate abuser, I had numerous close calls with seizures. At the time I wasn’t even unaware that drugs, especially opiate pills could cause seizures. Only recently found out that you can actually die from them. But to be…

This poor kid. I have epilepsy, and drug user or not, it breaks my heart to see anyone claimed by a seizure, especially with someone so young. The only cold comfort anyone can take is that he likely didn’t suffer much- having a seizure is like passing out when you’re experiencing one. 

Back in the 1980's, while earning money for college, I got a summer job at the Sunset Magazine test kitchens.

Biden looks like he takes pretty damn good care of himself.  I’m going to guess he hits the gym on a regular basis and can probably do more push-ups than the...um average joe.

Maybe I just don’t get grocery store sushi from the places they provide it to, but the Trader Joe’s stuff is way different--and worse--than any other I’ve had. It’s mainly the rice. They use waaaay too much rice and it’s not properly cooked. Or it’s the wrong type of rice. Or something.

Does your Trader Joe have a kitchen?  Mine doesn’t, and I wouldn’t buy sushi from anyplace without one.  I do get sushi from my Shop Rite, and it is very good.

I definitely don’t expect the overarching story to become apparent right away, after all we didn’t see Thanos until the end of Phase 1 and didn’t get in universe confirmation of the infinity stones until like GotG in Phase 2.

“I couldn’t think of a character more deserving of a standalone film than Black Widow”

2019 was a great year for the Switch Fire Emblem Three Houses may be my game of the year, Pokemon Sword has reinvigorated my love of the game because its actually possible for a 30+ year old person to play, and the Switch is my go too destination for JRPGs the way the Vita was in the past.

I’m surprised to find I’m torn about this. On one hand, I get the sentiment, and good LORD I wish there was some publicly-shareable way to screen creeps. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure the sex offender registry isn’t it, given that it includes people who peed in public when they were teenagers and who are subject…

I think people whose family gatherings aren’t full of spite and misery are the silent majority.

Yeah, Scientology is bullshit, but in pop culture people act like Xenu is the being they worship. At least get the bad-SF theology right!
