Plus living in radiator buildings where you'd be woken up by the PING PING PING of the pipes at 2am to signal when the heat *actually* turned on, full blast.

Saw it opening weekend in Rapid City, SD, in a theatre full of military folks on holiday leave and it was the funnest and most raucous moviegoing experience of my life. People jumping out of their seats at the climax and just whooping and hollering. A total blast.

NY Times: You thought this election might be about an unprecedented convicted criminal running to overthrow Constitutional democracy? You think you decide the narrative? Oh no. That’s our turf. And we say the most important thing in the election—nay, the world—is Joe Biden’s age.

Every big media organization was so crossed-up by Trump winning in 2016 that they have been behaving and hiring as if Long Island-Coded Suburbo-Racist Sociopathy was on an unstoppable ascent worldwide, and interpreting everything backwards from there. It turns out most people actually hate it!

Local bar/grill has a new lady barkeep who has been making excellent cocktails. Just now I (drinking solo) told her I needed to step outside for a sec, and she said she would keep my drink on her side of the bar for safekeeping. A great little gesture to help solo drinkers feel safe. 💪💪💪
