So last night wateched Neptune Frost (2021) - very art house sorta film imo. filmed w/in 28 days in Rwanda, mix of afro-futurism, music, broad politics, imagery over plot in some ways. I liked it, but not everyone’s cup of tea.

Me: how are bump stocks, an accessory, allowed by 2nd Amendment?
MN 2A Advocates: you need to prove why banning them is o.k.
Me: Umm… no why should they be allowed?
MN 2A: No you have to prove it to us.
Me: so squat then?

watched most recent Dr. Who episode and… I liked it but agree w/ spouse feel like there’s some internal logic missing, or the audience isn’t being let in on. We’ve liked the episodes, but there just seems to be a missing element in plot logic. maybe the compressed season means they’re moving faster

yup… this coupled w/ the attitude they have that some how the medical system (in U.S. or U.K.) magically transitions people overnight. Somehow a person transitioning gets faster appointments, etc. than a person just scheduling an annual physical. sigh.

minor note - never liked using mass death as a joke… I won’t use variations on “drink the kool aid”, nor do I like the anti-vax use of “covidians” - it minimizes tragedies we should have compassion over.
