I appreciate the “family friendly” heads up as I find a number of public space playlists to be beyond appropriate for my kids—I hadn’t thought much about my media until I had kids.

You are half right, but people didn’t vote f-you. They voted Trump because too many issues are not being addressed.

This is what I thought in 2004 as Dems kept convincing themselves that John Kerry, war hero, was unassailable in our post-9/11, Bush Iraq blunder world. Everyone said how much they liked Dean, but the scream.... Fear and cleverness lost that one.

There are a whole lot of men in that photo. They’d save money by casting more women, as they traditionally tend to make sixty cents on the dollar.

Original = Great = 1.0

Came expecting a groundswell of people demanding Shaq, so he could redeem himself from his earlier foray into genie performances. None?

Sometimes Will Smith is okay (action, comedy) and sometimes not (drama), but he is never interesting. I can’t get Robin Williams out of my head—not for the zanniness, but he was just fun (even when the genie turned somewhat serious, there was interesting emotion).

I appreciate Kataku’s reviews of independent, off-the-beaten-track games.

Where does bottle flipping fall in the motivation ladder?

35 second mark—FREE SNOWCONE!

Notice his winning percentage dropped after the stomach staple. Hmmm.

What about uniforms? That’s what motivated me when I was a kid. I can play basketball in my driveway, but youth basketball had uniforms and I wore that to school and was all, like, “Hey, uniform.” I wanted to play in the baseball league with the better kids because they had jerseys instead of tshirts—and pants and…

Wait, you made the cake but didn’t get invited to the party? Unless you are a professional cake person (baker?) that seems a tad rude.

I feel bad for anyone who struggles to be thoughtful and wrestle with new ideas in the public sphere. Yet, it is so important. The alternative are people speaking empty platitudes or never engaging.

You know how the suffragettes stood in front of the White House and used Wilson’s own words to the Kaiser to shame him about what he was doing to women here? People should do that with Trump.

Doc Hollywood doesn’t go back to his own home town. He has to do community service because he destroyed the judge’s fence with his car (same plot as Cars).

The scene in “Logan” where the robo-truck runs the holdout farmer off the road is my fear—the powerful using our dependence on technology to screw the little guy (yeah, yeah it’s already here, but that scene really bugged me).

Our two sons were born at home and I cannot recommend it enough.

Our homebirth (Vermont) was $5,500 about ten years ago. She also had a sliding scale based on income, so it could be less depending on the mother.

There were a vision of things to come.
