I'm glad you recovered. From what I've read, it destroyed the olfactory cells lining the nose and people who've recovered have had to grow new ones.

I'm lucky that I've never had covid (but mostly it's because I'm careful and don't care if people think I look like Immortan Joe from "Fury Road".)

I read this, just as I am about to enter a 4:30 PM screening of "Mercy".

There's only one other person in the theater… just the way I like it.

Baird also managed to produce the world's first television recording, though he wasn't able to successfully play it back in his lifetime. Donald F. McLean got some of the discs Baird recorded, and figured out how to recover the video.

I'm sure somebody's making a Downfall parody.

Thank you.

Nurse Sarah, who works in intensive care, was the first person in Kansas City to get the covid-19 vaccine…and had to delete all of her social media because of abuse.

She was a genuine angel of mercy, exactly who you would want caring for your loved one in their worst hours.

Who do we have to talk to to have the rhyming scheme officially named after him?

Weird bit of data?

Early on in my career, I had a short stint as a touring sound engineer for a Broadway show.

The equipment was from Masque Sound.

Every speaker cord was a polarized "suicide cord"…male on both ends, joined together with duplex outlets.

Microphone cords were female, both ends.

Oh, you are so lucky!

I got as close as possible, listening to the "in theater podcast" he had recorded for Knives Out via earbuds at my favorite AMC theater with my late wife. Wonderfully informative!

If you like documentaries, it's totally worth seeking out.

It turns out Leonard Cohen wrote an estimated 150 to 180 verses for the song, constantly jotting new ones down in his notebook.

Don't know if he ever wrote one about a "suicide cord" though.

This made me laugh out loud (despite that phrase being a terrible cliché.)

Can I assume you've seen the documentary?

Which is how they wind up with a bunch of employees who "vibe code" everything via AI prompts and don't understand the code produced.

The FBI opened Epstein's safe July 6 2019.

Because they didn't have a warrant that described the contents, they left the hard drives and CDs of photos sitting on top for several days. They came back, and they were all in a suitcase.

I have no doubt Trump has copies and is blackmailing dozens.

I've come to believe that "P.P" are the initials of a girl that he killed, and that Putin has footage of that happening.

They're from the state of Punjab, and a wonderful example of the true greatness of America…people from all over the world bringing their cultures and cuisines to one place.

I'm a heterosexual male, so my opinions of male attractiveness have no particular weight.

But on the other hand, there are men I would not mind looking like.

Jeff Bridges is one of those men.

It was fascinated to learn that the super cold freezer technology invented for Dippin' Dots was a vital part of the success of the mRNA vaccines.
