i watched "Eddington" because of the critical controversy about it. I feel like I can safely say that the plot to this movie has a good premise that becomes incoherent. There I just saved you two+ hours of your life.

I decided to prepare for the Worst The stoics (ancient) suggested that preparing for the Worst should be a daily exercise. For them, the Worst wouldn't arrive on a daily basis, but preparing for the emotional hit was a discipline.

One thing the 1983 film "Wargames" gets correct is "ai hallucination." In 1983, I watched this film wondering how people could become so foolish. And, now...

I'm watching "Wargames" which was one of my favorite movies when I was young. One thing I'm struck by after all these years is how much David Lightman uses whatever is available to him to problem solve.

There is going to be a lot of sticker shock on Ind ACA plans next year. The Trump Admin could do a lot to mitigate it, but it looks like they've decided not to....just breaking more things with no real fixes.

I watched John Oliver's show on Medicare Advantage, and I have two thoughts. 1.)Any time you see "advantage" in a health insurance product it means a narrower network, i. e. fewer provider options. 2.) Med Adv is Part C of the stature so it is indeed correct to call it "Medicare."

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency. An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

It's a wall of eyes...

I started watching the HBO doc about the Yogurt Shop murders. In episode 1, they describe one detective as having a 100% conviction rate. Any law enforcement officer with a 100% conviction rate should be a 🚩. No one is always right.

This image screams "off with their heads" whenever I look at it.
