They employ artists worldwide, a LOT of Americans. Many of us in live entertainment have long considered them to be a dream place to work. Our industry is dead, the first to shut down under COVID-19 and we will likely be the last to return, and the people who employed us are treating us like dirt. “Fans” demand that…

Some people really don’t know. A friend of mine was doing it because otherwise his glasses got fogged up and he couldn’t see where he was going. 

Over the span of a few years, my husband and I invested in an elliptical and a treadmill. For the price of an annual membership to a gym, we got decent equipment at home. No weight machines, but we’ve worked out body weight exercises we do on the floor and with hand weights. If I have to drive somewhere to exercise, I…

There’s no evidence that air conditioning endangers anyone’s health. Don’t give in to panic and paranoia.

Somewhat amusingly, in my native country, not only are the gyms open, but apparently the sick days for their employees have gone down drastically. To be fair, we were one of the least hit western countries for several reasons, so the risk of infection was lower as they begun opening anyway, but the increased hygienic…

Oh, God bless.  I am so sorry this has been this difficult on you, and I know you and your husband aren’t alone in bearing an outsized share of the burden of this.  

Do you really have to do these things right now? No. No we don’t. So you’re wise to stay away.

I’m concerned about the trend of fear-mongering over air conditioning. Calling AC a “virus leaf-blower” seems a tad bit alarmist and out of step with scientific opinion. Sure, AC circulates everyone’s breath throughout the building, but it passes through a filter first. If the filters aren’t protecting us, why hasn’t…

Outside of when I run, I am a six days a week regular at my gym for 20+ years. When I made the decision to move out of the US (I’m still here, the world exploded just prior to my spring flight), the one thing that I felt I would miss, and miss terribly, was my gym. It’s open now, with limited capacity, and I’ve…

Man, it’s a good thing people are still cruising along on the $1200 stimulus money or this could be a huge disaster. Thank Jezeus for the bigly competent and compassionate Trump administration. Crisis aaa-verted amirite?

It’ll become like a Futurama thing where all their talking heads are preserved in jars for eternity.

Does it mean, they will finally cancel that show? Or will they die on that show?

It’s a fantastic movie, I don’t think you get it.

This take is too hot. There is absolutely no way that you actually paid attention to the film. Right out the gates with “It is a movie that asks its audience to sympathize with a poor little Nazi boy who really wants to participate in the Holocaust” you show that you might not have even watched the movie. 

You really should not be a critic. I don’t say that in a snarky or demeaning way. I say that with the sincerity of someone who doesn’t always get movies, or people, or motives. Honestly, you brought nothing to the review other than a predetermined hatred of the movie, and seeing a movie in that state is not conducive…

Boy, i can’t wait for the next episode of Clarissa Jezsplains It All.

My grandmother survived the Holocaust by being smuggled around German attics. Jojo Rabbit was my favorite movie of 2019. This is an appalling take on a movie that tells today’s kids what being a Nazi looks like and how to stop being a Nazi, by putting it in a frame they will actually pay attention to.

JoJo Rabbit isn’t trying to make you laugh along with Nazis. It illustrates how absurd the beliefs about the Jews were, how propaganda can influence even children, and how we must never stop fighting fascism.

Agreed. This is such a weird take. It was probably my favorite movie of the year.

my takeaway was definitely different.
