The day after I saw #GotGVol3 I came across threads insisting it'd be smart for Marvel to recast Kang w/ the actor who played the High Evolutionary. So many ways this notion is misconceived and dumb that I must leave listing and counting the ways as an exercise for the tweeter.

To all my British friends: I confess that if I ever get arrested on suspicion of wanting to breach the peace, I'm going to have plead guilty. No one suspects I want to breach the peace more than I do.

One of the few things I missed in an otherwise excellent season of #Schmigadoon / #Schmicago was a show-stopper performance from Ariana DeBose. (She does appear briefly at the start.) And then they gave us a DREAMGIRLS-inspired number, and she was stellar.

Everyone who speaks glibly or dismissively about a presumptively innocent human life in a case in which someone died needlessly is telling you how little value they give to these previously unknown names. Don't trust them on humane values. They want you to be dismissive. .

My 10-year-old inner self has loved each John Wick film, including the 2023 film. But my current self loves this other 2023 movie six times as much, and my 10-year-old self enthusiastically agrees: POLITE SOCIETY (written & directed by Nida Manzoor)

Most people agree that clotheslining some bike rider with the door of one’s parked car is a low-probability. So why are people so upset that I didn’t guess I might do it a second time?

I know it's a bit borderline of me to side with the birds over the squirrels.

It turns that whenever you select "Increase Contrast" in a Macintosh's Accessibility Settings panel, *you can never turn it off without a session with Apple Support*.
