I spit on the popular opinion and declare #TheMatrixResurrections essential to the original trilogy 🙂 It's not a good Matrix movie. It's a painfully stand-alone movie commenting on society expecting a repeat of a Matrix movie - despite the obvious warnings of The Matrix. Try re-watching it after the first three from today's point view and judge by yourself. F…

Christian Watson, Matthew Stafford and Jahmyr Gibbs are among the Week 14 stars https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47248070/christian-watson-matthew-stafford-jahmyr-gibbs-week-14-next-gen

Watched Star Trek Section 31, a movie about the off-book starfleet characters trying to stop someone blowing up a quarter of the galaxy.
Might be the worst Star Trek ever made.
A crew with a mercenary ex-empressess from the mirror world, a mole, and no trust between 'em. They don't seem to get on but rescue the galaxy anyway. Maybe blow up a quarter of the mirror galaxy instead. Hurray. Genocide of our own galaxy averted.
Jokes aren't funny, characters aren't convincing, script full of dud. Somehow the murdering dictator is redeemed without any redemption arc.
Only for star trek completionists.

A good chunk of (the East Side of) Providence lost power tonight, and I'm super annoyed because it would have been one of the best urban star-watching nights in Providence in literally decades, but…we had clouds. (Maybe correlated, we had rain, which may have knocked out some equipment?)

Witch: I will grant your wish, but you will be cursed with the knowledge of how you die.
Me: Hahaha jokes on you I already know

Never been as scared watching a movie as I was in the final 10min of "Arthur the King".
Dog lovers, this was a great dog movie... but terrifying.

You see a detective on the TV and he’s interviewing all the suspects asking them what they were doing on the night of the murder a month ago last Tuesday night.
And on the TV, the suspects all know. Right away.
If you asked me ten years ago though, I’d have had barely any clue. If you’re lucky it’d have been something planned in my calendar but mostly, dunno. Watching TV maybe? No idea what show. Was that a night I was in the pub?
As we all get older this problem increases I’m told. Eventually full on senility sets in.
But what if you have already built the habit to record what you’re doing? To be able to look back and revise and review how you spent your days? An external aid as a crutch to your own forgetful brain’s cortex?
So I started this Exocortex Log over a decade ago and now I can answer: Ten years ago on Tuesday I was having dinner with the guitarist from my band and his girlfriend and they burned the pudding.
The app has been half finished and barely able to even record let alone review for most of that time, but now it’s ready enough that someone else might use it too if they want.

"Creditors circle as cull looms
Jason Proctor
I'm Jason Proctor, a reporter with CBC Vancouver who looked into a series of lawsuits facing the owners of Universal Ostrich Farms Inc.
Last month, I spoke with three creditors who are watching today's ruling with great interest — and some skin in the game.
B.C. Supreme Court judges have ordered the farm's owners to repay debts worth more than $250,000 but, up until now, the creditors have been unable to collect. Normally in this kind of situation, a creditor would move to seize the business assets — but because in this case those assets are ostriches caught up in a legal battle, that's been challenging, to say the least.
All three creditors have tried to garnish the CFIA to intercept any money the agency might pay out as compensation for killing the birds (potentially up to $3,000 a bird, the CFIA says) but it remains to be seen how that will work. The creditors, however, told me they are anxious to recoup their losses.”
