I expected to get got and I definitely got got. I could resent that, I guess, or I could just feel it. Film is acutely manipulative; I sign up to be manipulated but hope not to be aware in the moment of whatever choices are pulling the strings.
Loved these books.
Lego women in a Magna Tile sleigh bed, talking about their day and enjoying a two-tone Silly Putty pillow.
Me: I smell the grape silly putty, but where is it?

I didn’t understand how prolific I was with “nevertheless” as a retort to my 6-year-old daughter until she countered with “nevertheNOTless.” Checkmated.
I will never forget seeing this at a Blockbuster in 1999 and telling my then-wife and her sister that we had a new nickname for their dad, one of those briefs-around-the-house guys.
C-SPAN is replaying Neal Katyal's winning SCOTUS appearance ahead of Trump's press conference reacting to this defeat.
This is like being in a concert hall and hearing all of Born to Run play as the preshow music and you know the curtain is about to go up on Gallagher and 16 watermelons alone onstage, somehow in a good way.

Some businessmen in my community might see a lesson here.

Unnaturally long. Clocked.
How are these guys supposed to get big, grotesque crowdfunded dollars from white nationalists if no one tells us who they are?

Jay Leno’s head mounted on chopsticks
Springsteen, “The River,” on the live box, when he closes the intro story with “That’s good” and then plays the first harmonica note.
