SHIFT is a fun REAR WINDOW call back, a thriller mystery crossed with a slacker comedy — Moviejawn

It’s not an indictment of the show, but it’s funny and unfortunate that Abbott Elementary dabbles in social critique of structures in Philly but can’t speak about how the cops take all the money. lol the Inquirer caught these people stealing sick days en masse like two or three years ago

I feel like most of my life the NFL officiating has gone in favor of the offense. It became a more wide open game, and defenses adjusted, and I feel like officiating adjusted some to allow defenses to play, but I just do not understand what counts as pass interference. It is a total crapshoot

When I was in my late teens, I kinda wanted a Wonder Woman tattoo for no well-thought-out reason. Wanted it to wrap around my arm arm connect to a Captain Marvel tatoo.. of course, problem is the “modern mythology“ is all IP owned by profit-driven conglomerates, so you just feel gross
