  1. Thanks as well.  I paid when I was a previous name and no ad issues, and I figure my ad nightmare is because I don't subscribe.  I'm about to go off the grid in madness or subscribe.

    My adds move up and down, and block me when I try to type.  They are like gremlins.  Wait, I can get $10 off Amazon if I get a Discover Card?

  2. Bardo: False Chronicles of a Handful of Truths (2022)

    This was fantastic. Hard to recommend, but I think I fit the demographic -- I'm the age of the protagonist, I love Mexico, and I'm becoming a bit obsessed with death and life and birth.  This flick has some truly beautiful moments -- the family beach scene is one of the most beautiful ever, and it begins with an insane image..

    The movie is insists upon itself but it fucking works. At least for me.

    Of the ten movies that have blown me away in my life, Innarritu has two - this and Amores Perros.

    Again, I doubt this movie works for most, but it fell crazily into my wheelhouse.

    The mexican directors are the best.

    John Koskinen, the former I.R.S. commissioner who served during the first year of Trump’s presidency, said in an interview that he was not involved in the presidential audit process and that he did not know why the audits did not occur. “It does seem to me to be a legitimate question, if the I.R.S. had the responsibility and wasn’t auditing, what’s the explanation?”

    Donald Trump is the favorite until he loses some primaries. No anecdotal evidence will change that. Tons of polls said he had no chance the first time around. They were wrong. Apparently racist pieces of shit don’t answer polling surveys. Desantis is leading the polls now, but let’s see how he does once Trump starts tearing him apart by tweet. 

    TL/DR.

    But Trump is toast.

  5. Wow.  No replies.  If memory serves, and it's not serving well lately, one of us siblings got the More Specials album and we listened to it the first Christmas I got back from college.  Enjoy yourself was an immediate favorite.  Rat Race and Rich Girl had more staying power.

    The Specials morphed into English Beat which morphed into Fine Young Cannibals by the time I was scurrying to figure out what to do post undergrad.

    This music didn't enthrall me but it was certainly a big part of that era.  A good version of what ultimately was my favorite of their tunes:

    This was fun stuff that I never truly connected to -- I don't think it seemed to try or give a damn.  Other than maybe to free Nelson Mandela.

    Do you think alcoholism, without DUI or other threatening behavior to others, is similar to domestic violence?

    As a starter, alcoholism can be a protected disability under the ADA and similar state statutes.  There is no protection for conduct which is domestic violence. 

    Society views the two very differently, as would any employer from a PR standpoint.
