A kinda nerdy, kinda funny dad. Foodie-ish fan of comic books and technology. Tech Marketing for Security Operations at ServiceNow. Makes bed after waking up. Views expressed on here are my own.
Seems to be resolved now. Interesting though, given the current state of, well, everything.

Not surprising at all, but good to have some statistics behind it. I kinda figured this was the case, but it was based around anecdotal evidence. I live in a blue collar area of a college town; most college-educated folks I know voted blue, while the ones who aren’t voted for Trump each time.

Yes!! Such a fun book! Amazing art and a compelling, funny, complex story. The humor is spot on and Kelly Sue absolutely nails what it’s like to be a parent to a teenager.

/6 13. I guess I should probably check out Kendrick Lamar.
14. Shakira is 48 🤯 Also, that was an impressive outfit quick change!
15. I rarely feel “get off my lawn,” but that Charli XCX performance made me feel like an old.

/5 11. Who knew we needed more of Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga singing The Mama’s and The Papas’ music catalog?!
12. Will Smith back on an awards show is a choice, but the Quincy Jones tribute shows just how much of a singular force he was over the music industry.

/4 8. The best new artist showcase was super impressive, even if the genres aren’t my jam.
9. Raye. Holy crap!! Jaw dropping.
10. Chappell Roan using her acceptance speech to call out industry professionals for not supporting their artists!! “Labels, we got you, but do you got us?” *chef’s kiss*

/3 5. Trevor Noah needs to be the forever host at the Grammys .
6. Chappell Roan’s voice. Wow!! I get it now.
7. Beyoncé winning best country album. Huh. That speech though. “Genre is a code word to keep us in our place.” 🔥

/2 3. I sincerely thought Doechii’s mom was her sister. And her speech was perfection.
4. It’s great to see how genuinely happy Taylor Swift was for other people winning in categories that she was also nominated. Love seeing artists celebrating other artists.

The Devil’s favorite Depeche Mode live album.

I hear you. I feel like we need to be hyper vigilant about mis- and disinformation in this climate.

…or even thought it had anything to say beyond “war sucks,” which many other films have done in the past. It was well done, but the story just didn’t connect with me, but that could be because of my own fears. /2
