I'd just say ease into things. Make a few new friends, rediscover old ones, see what people are talking about.

nothing like the triumph of finding the Flynn's Arcade T-shirt I got at Comic-Con 2010 so I can record my video review of #TRONAres in style!

(I recall working hard for this shirt. ARG-esque hijinks were involved.)

BRB updating my list of Movies Where the Bulk of the Exposition Is Done by Fictional and Real Journalists. (Includes every studio movie I've seen in 2025?!?)

Seriously, filmmakers of the world, when journalism dies **who will deliver exposition in your movies**? Reason enough to support it.

Found myself disappointed with this movie even though I enjoyed a good number of its setpieces. (A thought not included in this review: Why does Jared Leto's hair look like it needs washing even in cyberspace?) consequence.net/2025/10/tron...

My daughter is on a junket to New York with her online peeps. She sent me this poster from the Ripped Bodice:

A poster on a wall among bookshelves. It's in glorious color with pink peonies along the bottom. The text reads 'Unattended children will be given an enthusiastic explanation of intersectional feminism.'

"I [Lisa Houseman] wrote it. I wrote the story of the spoiled brat living in the island. I can't remember whose idea it was [to make the song] a hula." The "Hula Hana" is an earworm that does belong in the late 50s, early 60s #HATM ew.com/movies/dirty...
