Bigots, TERFs and other such morons, including those who believe DEI practices take jobs, just fuck off. They don't, you're an idiot, I'm being polite, and no you won't change my mind.
Everyone else? Hello! Film and TV nerd here. It's nice to talk.

Tell you what, #FootballManager really is missing something without international management. I, it barely ever comes up in the news, but also: I'm idea on for a perfect, no points dropped anywhere season that makes 15 trophies in 3"years and a quintuple-treble. Not one mention of the England gig.

OK, I know Gambit's cards explode, but is anyone else kinda hoping Marvel give him some of the card-throwing tricks they use in Now You See Me? The way the actor throws those things just feels so visceral it hurts to see him take out the poor nooks with a three inch but of card.

Now You See Me, Now You Don't has far too much in it to be 110 minutes, so clearly some time wizardry is involved there, and I have Questions about Rosamund Pike's accent, but it was very good fun.

Heads up: If you haven't read A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by @tkingfisher.com (and frankly that's criminal in the first place) and you're on Audible, it's part of the 2 for 1 sale right now. You won't regret it.
It has a possibly sentient, probably murderous sourdough starter in it.

So I looked into picking up Power Rangers Prime again after I fell off at issue 3. Issues 4-10 aren't on Kindle.
Welp, guess that's me out of Power Rangers Prime, then. Thanks, Amazon. Bastards.

So I'd get fired in about ten minutes then. Been working my current job for seven and a half years now and I can only make eye contact with maybe four or five people, all of whom work there and I've worked with directly. Never had a customer complaint about me looking at their teeth, though.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.
