Finished my Anti-Criterion Challenge over the weekend with #BattleRoyale and now just finished my Criterion Challenge with #Koyaanisqatsi. Next year, probably only doing one challenge on @letterboxd.social and will spend more time working on the Top 250 Narrative Features list.

Just flying through Kansas City and it's just insane to me that there's so much open space that could easily accommodate housing.
Empty lots, large lots that could be subdivided, does no one in Kansas City need housing? Are prices not high there?

These are all so scummy. They rubber-stamp everything and then get a kickback from the retailer after they approve you to use HSA funds on a supposed "medically necessary" purchase - like Pelotons, mattresses, or Huel.
Psst you can buy a mattress with HSA. I know in theory you're supposed to just use the HSA as an investment vehicle but the tax free money is good enough for me.

I don't think I'll ever understand how these movies work financially. Does Tubi actually pay for them or pay per stream?

People complaining about a $20 rental fee on Letterboxd for a good, indie movie. Meanwhile I'm upset about a $4 rental fee for a piece of shit.
