I peed in a stall right next to Marvel’s Kevin Feige while in Japan. He was wearing a Marvel ball cap. We didn’t shake hands.

For today's December Comfort Watch, we have Groundhog Day, a story which is in a few significant ways like A Christmas Carol, with the mechanism of redemption turned on its head:

Now that everyone else is able to watch it, I’m enjoying reading people’s reactions to AVATAR 3.
It’s a rollercoaster! Usually when I get off rollercoasters I’m thrilled, out of breath, & excited—and rarely thinking about whatever its frame story was. I just revel in the immersion.

Fun fact, credit card debt can’t be passed on to your heirs. Make sure your elderly loved ones have large credit limits, and put all their expenses and debts on cards, paying only the minimums until they’re gone.

I still "worry AI will replace us all" because I know the billionaires will keep pushing it on us -- or rather on our employers, who will be compelled by the "business logic" to accept total horseshit as The Future.
Humanity's in for a rough ride.

I’ve never seen anything as predatory and punitive as these “return fees” are against customers.

Time to shop at these stores and bring large hauls to the register, dump them on the counter, and walk out in protest of these “return fees.” Sowing chaos is the only way to be heard here.
