Delroy Lindo is on a long list of actors long overdue for an Oscar nomination. He might finally break that ceiling with his role in Sinners. We caught up to talk about Ryan Coogler's "brilliant" epic, and, as always, he has some keen observations to share

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Another winter gem has arrived: the cedar waxwing, aka the Nicole Kidmans of the bird world! It was 86 F / 30 C today in Texas so they were probably not expecting that but neither was I.

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons…
To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

Only Hela was supposed to come back home that day but the night before the father turned on them and only her and Odin were left. So we took him too!
Cannot imagine them without each other. Odin in particular - completely lost without his sister 🤦♂️💝

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

I noticed whenever a show/movie decides to have these quiet, introspective moments like in Eternals, The Acolyte, or even Andor, that’s when people decide to call it “slow” or poorly written. It’s like no, you’ve just conditioned yourself to see action moments as the only valid thing.

I was paying in cash for something recently and the cashier didn't have 2 pennies for change. I told her to not worry about it and went on my way. I imagine the same thing is happening everywhere
Hundreds gathered at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday afternoon to mark the end of an era for the penny, after the U.S. Mint pressed the final coins last month.
As guests left the funeral, they bid their goodbyes and tossed pennies into the casket. https://wapo.st/3KLIRL4

I have spent most of Boxing Day asleep, but still got to snuggle with this little guy for an hour. He's very chompy, and very keen to be allowed into gen pop. Soon!
Also, Cayenne has started jumping into my lap for snuggles by his own choice! SO brave.
