I expect I’ll buy Furiosa when it’s available via digital release. Fury Road (and its 1970s/80s precursors, Mel aside) earn it that much. haven’t set foot in a cinema since Rise of Skywalker; may never again. don’t care what the critics say. Miller knows his shit.

This was the view from my chair while I waited to see the doctor this morning.
Excellent provider, that she is, she called an eye doctor friend who agreed to see me on her lunch.
The diagnosis was ocular migraines. Too much stress from too many different directions. I got drops for the swelling.
It appears my eyes are healthy and clear.
So I am going to stop fighting with Providence and pay the $500 bill, that I shouldn't have to pay, and move on without having to talk to anyone else who will irritate me to no end.
It just isn't worth it.
Going to chill for the rest of the day.
Thanks again to everyone for the good vibes. It helps.

The 2nd place GOP candidate for president out there celebrating the genocide of civilians.

She was always as bad as Trump.

The Ken Burns speech says all the right things in the most Ken Burns way possible.

(Too many $65 words; mostly preaching to the choir.)

Forgive me for not worshipping at the altar of Ken Burns; his Statue of Liberty doc, which ended with syrupy “only America has freedom” nonsense made me roll my Canadian eyes so hard that I couldn’t take him seriously after that.

Aaron Sorkin expressed my reaction better than I can:

Yes, I understand that shoving a Q-Tip far enough into your ear that it makes you cough is a bad thing™. It’s still really satisfying.

This has been Oversharing with Chris.

Ok. I’m in a mood, apparently. Time out for a European train-cab video in the background. https://botsin.space/@trains/112519563191762424

All you need to know about Alito is that when he was caught committing a little light treason, he wasted no time before tossing his wife overboard. #PortraitsOfCourage

I see the Pope's having another excellent one

Who’s going to tell the Pope that apologizing for the “vulgar term” means little now that we know how he really feels about gay people.
