“This is cold!”

“And this is why you are an actor.”

I was mildly uncomfortable with black people as a young child, but my love for comedy made me accept Bill Cosby and many others.

I will not let his shitty actions keep those lessons from me. It has been a good example for me of burning the speaker for transgressions, not the completely unrelated message.

He only took down the mob by working with the Russian underworld, so it was all a ruse that didn’t really make NYC safer.

If it wasn’t for his media handling of 9/11, he would have been completely irrelevant in the years that followed.

I am very glad that more people here are to the left of me rather than the right, but it hasn’t seemed to make discussion any easier.

I just don’t see the Fediverse catching on widely overall, and if it does it will splinter.

I will no longer tolerate bad faith discussion, targeted violent rhetoric, and blatantly insulting comments.

We have, largely, been better here, and I hope to… if not keep it that way, then at least continue to advocate for a better form of discussion that promotes understanding. I say this because, as a leftist, I have been dragged further left by being here in ways that have measurably changed the lives of people around me.

Keeping a social media space relatively non-toxic HELPS PEOPLE. Let’s try.

I am actually watching a Josh Johnson set while reading this. Very amusing coincidence.

Got an old computer that a friend gave me up and running. It’s much better than the crappy one I was using, so I handed that one off to my Dad.

This will let me get back to a couple of personal projects I was struggling to complete on the old computer.

Also indulging in political news again, which I had to swear off for a couple of years for my mental health.

Seems to be about half of their comments.

That’s unfortunate. I would prefer that we left that kind of discourse to reddit.

You can also be too cruel to yourself.

I always thought of myself as ugly but aged into my looks. Now I am out of shape still but not bad looking.

Changing your outlook (which I am not saying is easy) also changes how you hold and present yourself. That confidence is also attractive.

Jeremy Latcham left Marvel to move to Texas and make Christian-friendly fare.

Him being in charge of DC is a choice.

But I doubt I will be watching.

Dana White was offered the job on camera and said no.

It’s truly pathetic to just ‘only kidding’ a rejection like that, but I have come to expect nothing at all that is truthful from Trump.

Had this been filed before the election, the hindsight reporting would be entirely different. And the Republicans might have done slightly better.

Yup. Oops.

Can’t remember the first time for sure, but it was likely for a Linux install as well.

To install Linux on a computer in my basement.

Edit: Oops, that was the last time.

Progress.

Tobacco could be argued as a pharmaceutical product. No other notes.

And then she became the president of the Screen Actor’s Guild.

Massive respect for her. I always liked her but had never realized she was also brilliant outside of simply acting.

“The film attracted 590,000 moviegoers on its first day, which coincided with the national holiday known as Godzilla Day.”

Oh wow. What a coincidence.

One step at a time.

I saw that in the theater, at age seven.

My parents also took us to see Airplane! when it was released. No complaints. My parents were nuts, but we knew this.

The original The Wicker Man is almost perfect in this regard.
