    My teenager and I both really enjoyed it. Great cast and pretty funny.

    Yeah, I thought they said this was the last season.

    I love that they got Williams back there getting into it and jamming to his song. She's a Tony-nominated actress IRL.

    We live just across Mopac from St. Davids and have been there with both kids. You're in great hands and I'm so glad to hear she's doing better. And fwiw, my oldest was full-term but unexpectedly ended up in the NICU at birth with breathing problems (this was at Seton Main, not St. Davids) and today he's a thriving 15-year-old. Thinking about y'all.

    You see that cow up there? It's a horse. Yeah, because he followed his dreams.

    The fascist line might be my favorite quote from the movie.

    Her eyebrows should get their own credit.

    I started a thread on Beau is Afraid here back when it first came out. It's a great movie, but definitely not horror - more like a 3-hour fever dream. Haven't seen Hush yet but I love Mike Flanagan - Oculus is great. Also, Absentia is worth seeking out. It's really low-budget and I think was his first movie, but nice and creepy.

    My son is very excited about this because he loves the game, and I'm having a hard time figuring out if this will be anything approaching kid-appropriate. Rotten Tomatoes says it's PG-13, but it also says "strong violent content." They need to pick a lane.

    Talk to Me is amazing. Knock at the Cabin is horseshit, even though Dave Bautista is great in it - at most you could call it a drama/thriller, but it's in no way a horror movie. And (slight spoiler) I loved Saint Maud, and it has a great final scene.

    This is from an HISD teacher in the Facebook support group for parents/teachers who oppose the takeover (Supporters of HISD Magnets and Budget Accountability). I purposely left off the teacher's name. Some key WTF points: All internal doors must be open at all times (seriously, WTF) No student free-writing/journaling No "weak readers" can read aloud because it models disfluency No dimming classroom lights And of course there's the issue of closing libraries to turn them into detention centers. Even if the state could justify their takeover on the grounds of improving performance, how in God's name will any of the above improve performance? How is this anything but a blatant power grab? As an Austin ISD parent I am truly concerned that this is going to be us in the very near future.

    Random story - my oldest son watched Poltergeist a few years back with my SIL. When they got to the part where they start reciting the Lord's Prayer during the bird's funeral, my non-religious child goes "Isn't that Metallica?" 😂 That movie was amazing and I wish more people would watch it. It's like two separate movies - first, a calm relationship drama, and then the last half is like if a death metal album came to life. I mean, at one point To this list I'll add Evil Dead Rise Talk to Me Barbarian Malignant

    WSJ is saying that there were 10 people onboard and all were killed.

    What's crazy to me is that Alden Ehrenreich's character doesn't even have a name - he's credited as "Senate Aide."

    I fucking love that movie. /csb

    It had no face. No personality.

    Sure, I'm not contesting that point; I'm contesting the idea that no American citizen would've stayed at their post. There are plenty of Americans who can't just leave their jobs without supervisor permission, even in dire situations.

    I honestly can't tell if this is a joke or not.

    VPNs are good to have for privacy in general. NordVPN is a good, standard one for personal use - I used it for a long time. I recently switched to Mullvad after reading an article in Wire, and it's great, but they are super-committed to privacy beyond a normal level so the sign-up and payment process is a bit different. For those of you looking for a Ron Swanson level of privacy, you want to go with Mullvad.

    I went to summer camp in Silsbee every year as a kid. This tracks.
