Extract from Rob Reiner's Wikipedia Filmography 1986 - Stand By zme 1987 - The Princess Bride 1989 - When Harry Met Sally 1990 - Misery 1992 - A Few Good Men

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all

It's definitely time to remind folks (again) that George Michael was a gay artist who took a lot of shit, stood up for us at a time when it was *really* needed, gave a great deal to charity and died way too young.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

I mean, the venue choice was already a not-so-great one but Holy FUCK that's an insane price (and for an obstructed view, no less.) Sorry, my rad pal Dave, I love you but it looks like we won't be seeing each other this time. 😭

Oh, damn - I wasn't even thinking of it from a user POV. You're right - that's bound to be insane. I was thinking about all the people who will suddenly be without a (well-paying) job when all these companies go tits up.

Remember when the dot com bubble burst? I do. It was brutal. I'm thinking there's going to be an AI version in the not-too-distant future.

Many also allow walk-ins! I was in and out in ten minutes--covid and flu shots together--last week, and I'm rural. It's easy and free, so take advantage of it!

Sending packages to the U.S. Sending to the U.S. has changed. U.S. duties must be prepaid and now apply to most items. Even gifts under US$100 require a Declaration ID number via Zonos.

Of course, you can't simply show up with your package and pay. You need to set up a "profile" with an app, your email addy, CC, and personal deets. Xmas at Canada Post should be quite the Gong Show. I mean... more so than usual.

Cue the Yakety Sax
