Apple informing me that my AppleCare has run out…

My late father used to relentlessly send everything back at restaurants, and now I’m picturing him single-handedly bringing the Pluribus empire to its knees.

“Hey kids, let’s gather around and slowly kill an adorable bear in scalding liquid!”

Just finally watching PLURIBUS, and as an author, my mind is already blown by the radical sci-fi concept of a “book tour in 2025.”

2002’s “It’s A Very Merry Muppet Christmas,” a loose “It’s a Wonderful Life”-knockoff not only strongly implies that Kermit caused 9/11 (see comments), it contains this “Scooter cage dance” scene that is pure nightmare fuel. Sheesh!

From the producers of “AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY” it’s “THE IRON GIANT 2: THE IRON GIANT WAS JUST BRUISED A LITTLE AND IS NOW TOSSING A BASEBALL WITH HOGARTH”

“Smithers! Pour me some of those so-called…”

Warning for aging punks

I just spent a delightful weekend devouring veteran (in both senses) writer Mark Hoffmeier’s electrifying new novel, filled with crackling action, exhilarating espionage, and glorious detail-packed evocations of 1940s Hawai’i, as well as other eras! It’s the perfect holiday “book-snuggle.”
