I'm going to leave this here because I even see a lot of leftists regularly speaking about 'what the country wants' when in fact NO. MOST PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN and LESS THAN 50% of people who voted actually voted for him.

I got to preview "Good Fortune" and it surprisingly touches on workplace exploitation and unions. Keanu Reeves plays a naive and sweet-natured angel that reminds me of his character in Bill and Ted. Sandra Oh is a regal archangel.

RIP Patrick Adiarte, who first awed me with his dancing in "Flower Drum Song"--a talented actor who played every ethnicity but Filipino. I told The New York Times that Hollywood still underrepresents Filipinx actors (think Dave Bautista) as Filipinx characters.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Huh. Considering, as you may recall, Adele Lim walked away from writing the film sequel when the studio's offer to her was a small fraction of her co-writer's pay and her extensive TV experience didn't seem to "count", there's poetic justice in her being set as the showrunner for this TV adaptation.
