    Actually though, Ant Man and the Wasp was good. Not terribly great, but definitely solid.

    I've finally come to the realization that I really hate comic books and the movies based on them, so I don't watch them anymore. Only reason I broke the rule was because it was literally the only thing on in English last night.

    It's Saturday morning and I'm watching a YouTube food channel by two middle aged Japanese gay dudes in tie-dye t-shirts. Like, are you even living if this is not how you spend your free time??

    Oh yeah, I hate that. I find HD TV shows look less realistic than standard definition. On my last TV I hated it so much that I actually found a way to disable HD and made it downscale everything to 720p :-D

    Weird thing: I've been binging a lot of YouTube video essays lately—whether it's breaking down cinema technically or thematically, discussing culture, or whatever other random type of video essays get suggested me.

    Last night I clicked on a video discussing current fascist groups in England and the U.S. and my tv kept crashing. It kept turning off and having to restart. I ended up just watching it on my phone after having to boot it up and restart again over & over & over.

    This morning I continued binging on various types of videos: why the answer to controversial and politically charged times is putting out another Blade film, how to enjoy and find the positive in even awful films, how film editing can & ought to be effectively utilised in comedies, etc.

    Then I click on a video about Black Panther and the Alt-Right and my tv starts crashing again.

    I feel like my TV is biased and trying to send me a message I'm clearly not getting.

    Strange I can watch whatever on my computer no problem. Seems your TV is an extreme liberal. :p

    This popped up in my feed elsewhere. I understand it's a real (kindle) book.

    So there goes that idea for a decalogy.....

    That is an interesting oxymoron to write about. :superthink:
    Though I suppose they raise space barns by day, and
    suck alien blood by night. :p

    Haha, no worries :-D This is what happens when you spend too much time chatting to guys on dating apps. And to be fair, it’s not wrong. As a gay man, I can empathise with your prostate.

    (Not that you need to be gay to enjoy your prostate :rofl:)

    It would be a rather short and boring book. The basic synopsis would go like this:
    The AVIS get into space, try for a space-barn raising, but have to wait for night. A thousand years later, they're still waiting for night. That is until a miraculous eclipse happens that gives them an hour or so to get the barn raising done, except that they miscalculate and end up dust as a solar flare toasts them. FIN.

    You're only paranoid if they truly aren't out to get you.
