I'll probably watch it on Disney+ later. Just listened to the soundtrack, and I definitely prefer the lighter tone of the Legacy soundtrack. For that matter, I prefer the Challengers soundtrack to this one.

I don't think any Trump voter wanted him sending money to bail out Argentina. I also doubt many of them are aware it's happening.

My wife watched Gilmour Girls before we met, so I've never been exposed to it. She's watching a random re-run today while I work nearby, and the pace of dialogue in this show is STRESSING ME OUT

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

Does old school IRC chat count as "social media" (it's basically proto-Discord, right?). If so, then yeah. The reason I started writing for Nintendo Wold Report is by being an active member of their community of readers. That volunteer writing gig taught me a lot and helped me land my actual job.

This is important to know -- anyone who drinks 3+ alcoholic drinks per day shouldn't take acetaminophen at all. Never take more than the labeled dose, either.

Tylenol’s link to autism is unproven, despite President Trump's warning based on inconclusive studies. But hundreds of Americans accidentally overdose on the drug each year, suffering liver damage that can require a transplant or even be fatal.

Taking Too Much Tylenol Has Proven Risks. Trump Didn’t Talk About Those.

We are watching Practical Magic (1998) for the first time, and I am astonished by the bonkers plot and pacing. Not a minute of this movie makes any sense. It's more fascinating than good.

The downside is you're using Discord. (I greatly dislike the user interface... and it's getting worse all the time.)

You don't have to work out, but at least keep your joints and tendons well stretched and limber. Working out is nice, though.

Also its never too late to do pretty much anything. Learn to draw, take a saxophone lesson, become an accountant. Career changes and new hobbies aren't just for young people

Speaking for all physicians and healthcare providers here. When we see patients in need of care especially in an emergency room we do not leave them for dead. We do not care about their immigration status, we treat them because that is what we took an oath to do and is also basic human decency.
