Speaking of smoking... I was just about to recommend this movie, which I think is underrated and always timely. "Thank You For Smoking." Dark realistic satire. But I watched the title sequence again - it has a great anti-smoking song - and saw something I had to mention. youtu.be/B2RvA3y6V0w?...

Hey, I passed my 13-month anniversary of quitting cigarettes! And all nicotine. I didn't realize the day passed. I've finally stopped automatically counting the weeks and months to myself. Cool. I still miss it... A lot. But this is infinitely better than when I was counting minutes and hours. 🚭

I never pass up an opportunity to support Captain Janeway's decision. Or to point out that even Tom Wright, who played Tuvix, agreed. "There wasn’t enough justification for losing two entities for the sake of one." Tuvix had to die. Sorry.

Do you know what's far more effective than asking people politely to please not take your photograph or film you without consent? Especially because strangers won't ask or give you any opportunity to ask them not to? Flip them off. With both hands, if possible. 🖕🙂🖕 youtu.be/5710OAhwkUw?...

I hate having my photo taken. *Especially* without my consent! Why are people so rude and invasive? Why do they think it's acceptable to record everyone at all times, when people are just going about their lives? Why do many of them get hostile if I ask them to please stop? 🤨 #NoPrivacy #NoManners

Musk is now compelling #SocialSecurity to use his cesspool of a MAGA propaganda site, which has almost no safety protections or privacy protections and uses you like an unpaid commodity to train its AI while allowing bigots to harass and threaten you, exclusively to share its public announcements.

Sometimes I wake up thinking about Pandora and thinking about her jar (or box) full of all of the evils of the world, and I have to wonder... Was Hope the last evil?

Yes yes yes. "Oh, Mr. Trout... teach us to sing and dance and laugh and cry. We've tried to survive so long on money and sex and envy and real estate and football and basketball and automobiles and television and alcohol — on sawdust and broken glass!" -Kurt Vonnegut, "Breakfast of Champions" 💜📚🖤

It would be easier for me to write a treatise on arbitration law than to get my health insurance straightened out. State and federal agencies have been giving me the runaround since December. It has been chaos. Overly burdensome procedures should be subjected to endless due process lawsuits!

I loved the #Yellowjackets finale! I am not nearly as enraged as I was last week. ;) I will be waiting at least a couple of weeks before I start theorizing all over the place. Until then, here's an older season 2 montage of Misty & Walter set to an awesome Sparks song. 🧡 youtu.be/jSmt-y2EAO8?...
