I like that Yoshiko Takehara is playing the same character as in One Cut making them both exist in the same continuity

The canon Harvey origin is that Casper is a ghost because his parents are ghosts. Editorial had that on hand because letter writers frequently asked about how Casper had died.

I'm still vaguely baffled by the millennial obsession with hiding their socks. Why are visible socks shameful? When we started dating, my millennial wife was so embarrassed by my regular old crew socks in the summer she bought me a bunch of ankle socks. I still think that's weird!

It was really bothering me that the poster for A Haunting in Venice didn't quite match the posters for the other two Poirot movies on my server so I made my own poster that matches a little better.

Discord is doing that thing that apps do just before they stop being functional where it's trying to throw all kinds of new features and gewgaws at me and begging me to sign up for a paid subscription. I just use this app to talk to my wife when I'm at and she's at home; I don't need or want this

This blend is nice and smooth and round all the way through, though it could stand to be a little bit bolder.

I'm still searching for a replacement for the Kona coffee blend my grocery store stopped carrying. I bought a Sumatran coffee blend this week and so far I like it a lot! The "Big Wave" blend that replaced the Kona had this real bright sharpness on the back end that I did not like.

It was attempting that 80s movie thing I love where it extrapolates a high school conflict to a ridiculous, heightened extreme but it just doesn't quite bring it home. Maybe better direction could've saved it.

Biden's widely exceeded my expectations on domestic policy and sadly met my expectations on foreign policy, but I distinctly recall people warning about the exact scenario we currently face should he win the nomination and presidency in 2020

sometimes I wonder what might've happened if the DNC hadn't orchestrated a mass drop-out of centrist candidates and thrown the primary to Biden in 2020
