Tonight’s double feature courtesy of Movie Madness was an odd one:
Ladyhawke (1985)
ReAnimator (1985)
The husband had never seen ReAnimator and it had been several years for me. Neither of us had ever seen Ladyhawke. What a whiplash in tone and gore...

I feel like I’m in a Portland black hole seeing The Dandy Warhols with the Oregon Symphony at the Schnitz.

By the time I'm able to actually buy a house, I legitimately don't think I'd actually own it (pay off the mortgage) before I die.
The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.
Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.
Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.
Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Racism and misogyny are at this point not ”casually happening” and being covered up, but are on open display and being aggressively pursued.
Trump and everyone in his administration aren’t even worthy of being called vermin.

This was one of the few terrible horror movies from the early ’00s that I never bothered to watch, and so did not have a nostalgic attachment that at least propped it up in my mind.
I tried watching it in early October and had to stop it about a quarter of the way. It’s truly abysmal

Communicating why a 50 year mortgage costs more, overall, than a 30 year mortgage should not be a hard task.
The problem is the average American is both functionally illiterate and innumerate, as a deliberate result of decades of the policies made by the very people pushing for 50 year mortgages.

I cringe nowadays when I see the words “fast-paced environment” in job descriptions for positions that aren’t anything that should warrant a toxic urgency culture.
I’m so done with fake urgency. Unless you work in healthcare, there’s really no need.

Been waking up everyday for the past week or so with immense jaw pain, I imagine from clenching and grinding from anxiety/stress as of late.
Let’s hope it doesn’t take 8 months to get a specialist appointment, and then doesn’t cost a million dollars.

The only “bones” the universe has thrown us lately are spam texts about loans and lines of credit.
It’s sad though and not hard to imagine people becoming desperate enough to click.

This photo was taken by @chicagotribune.com photog @mandophotos.bsky.social this past Saturday in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood. Chicago's local news journalists are doing a helluva job capturing the aggressive tactics CPB & ICE are using here.

younger generations have always dreamed to be in debt until the day they die
One CEO called the idea a “disgusting insult” and “economic genocide against the Gen Z generation.” 👀

In Oregon, state legislators make abysmally low pay. This prohibits many from being able to do that work because the salary is too low.
Similar to what happens in journalism, you end up with people who have other means of income or a wealthy spouse, generational wealth, etc.
