Shameless self promotion: if you have a movie collection, please consider giving the collection management tool I am building a go. I think it's pretty good.

Please stop calling it a post-literate age, as if we’re “beyond” or “after” literacy.

You guys, there's only one Blockbuster video store left on the planet and I went there. It was a surprisingly moving experience.

I wrote about it on Peliplat: www.peliplat.com/en/article/1...

Genuine question: After the celebrities show up in all that ridiculous clothing, what actually happens at the gala part? Does anyone even know? Do they just go home after all the photos are taken?

Agreed.

It's the democratic equivalent of lead in the drinking water. The longer we wait to remove it, the more lasting the damage will be.
Still boggles my mind how unserious Canada is about disinformation, considering the deleterious effect it is having on almost every aspect of our society. I’ve had serious conversations with serious people about it, and their eyes glaze over.

A man stands, staring in shock at the price on a gas pump.

"But...but...I'm not political," the man says to the pump. "This shouldn't affect me."

The price does not change.

"I'm NOT one of those POLITICAL types!" he screams.

The pump does not respond.

The price does not change.

Anytime we get to see Ewan McGregor play this part is exciting for me. I wish we didn't have to wait so long between Ahsoka season 1 and 2.

One of the more depressing parts of my job is trying to explain to folks that 98% of the time politicians are passing laws or advocating for positions because they sincerely believe it will improve their communities, instead of Shadowy Forces Paying Councillors To Ignore The True Voice Of The People
I have a theory that this is mostly an uptick in conspiratorial thinking; dumb-as-bricks accusations of corruption are way more popular than they used to be in a lot of the online spaces I frequent www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

Watched the first two episodes of the new season of Handmaids Tale. It's really starting to feel like a slog. It's like the writers are just moving characters around to create the situations they want without taking the time to logically develop these things.

Years ago, we adopted a dog and at the end of the year I found myself with hours of videos on my phone so I decided to edit them together.

We have a brand new dog now. Today is his one year adoptaversary in fact.

Decades of confirmation hearings where women testify to abuse and sexual violence, only for the men in question to rise to higher positions of power, is a perfect encapsulation of why more victims don’t come forward.
