Got my third beer of LL104! I've also taken a two point lead in Maelstrom's Maso leaderboard. (We'll see how long it lasts...)

*Checks clock* It's still #LetterboxdFriday where I'm at! Here are my #LastFourWatched. It was a slow week for me. Most of my watching went to TV shows.

Now rewatching Malcolm X (1992)

I finally thought of IKEA less than an hour before the deadline, which scored me my second beer of LL104.

Please bring back heckling republicans (politicians, people in the admin, Fox News hosts etc) in public. If you see them at a restaurant heckle them so they leave. If you see them on the street menace them. Make them uncomfortable every time they leave their door.

Happy Black History Month

Now rewatching Dreamgirls

Clearly, Elon Musk is determined to be the first person to be worth a trillion U.S. dollars and he's not above turning the U.S. dollar into the Zimbabwean dollar to do it...

Streisand effect these weird dicks.

I just played this for the first time today. It's fun! WikiDates for February 20: 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟥🟩🟩🟩 (7/8) dates.wiki?seed=20250220

James Bond has to save the world from a political takeover scheme by the diabolical villains Barnes & Noble

calling what trump is doing in ukraine appeasement is excessively kind to trump and grotesquely unfair to chamberlain et al. for all his faults, chamberlain wasnt rooting for hitler.

Clearly, Matt Damon is trying befriend a cat in this movie.

I know a federal employee who says he works from home in the morning but just watches TV and calls into political shows to rant psychotically about windmills and toilets. His salary is $400K. We're paying some people a lot to do nothing. Where can I report him for theft of government services?

I didn't realize it when it happened, but my winning percentage in Rundle A hit .600 last week.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Finished reading Dissenter in a Great Society by William Stringfellow

My brain to myself, several months ago: "Now that you've made a mnemonic device for the noble gases, you should make one for the halogens." My response: "Good idea. I'll do it later." LearnedLeague, yesterday: "Name this specific halogen. I'll spot you the halogens above and below it." Me:

My week in music for 7-13 February 2025 according to Last.fm: Top artist: Kendrick Lamar (25 scrobbles) Top album: Cowboy Carter - Beyoncé (16) Top track: "This Is America" - Childish Gambino (11)

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

#LetterboxdFriday! Here are my #LastFourWatched

You know your google doc field guide to fighting back is good when Google can't handle the traffic.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

A couple birthday gifts to myself arrived today: these first day covers of the USPS Alex Trebek stamp.

Did you call Target? Wanna call them again? Did you not call before because you thought it wouldn't make a difference? Wanna call them now? ☎️ Target Employee Relations and Integrity Hotline: 1-800-541-6838

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

First beer of LL104!

And don't forget to not rank Cuomo if he enters the race.

Now watching She's Gotta Have It

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

Words cannot convey how annoyed I am that, at one point on MD2, I had typed in the correct answer to a math question (my worst LL category), only to change it before submitting. At least I still won.

The "Gulf of America" thing is ridiculous, but if the press gives in on this, the administration will just keep pushing - maybe conditioning access on deadnaming people, saying Trump won the 2020 election, you name it. Draw a line in the sand now, while the stakes seem small.

Now watching Dolemite Is My Name

My latest Marvel Insider redemption arrived today: this New York Comic Con poster signed by Ryan North, Joshua Cassara, and, I think someone else (maybe Steven Cummings).
