We should bring back jesters.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

Being very cool & normal, decided to translate my name into Elvish. But neither "mur" nor "ray" really feature in Elvish. But Murray comes from Moray so... Mor means dark (see Mordor). Raya means wander/astray. So Murray is a modern take on "dark wanderer" or "lost in the darkness." Sort of.

Watched The Dark Knight Rises last night and it's much better than I remember. It also contains all the flaws I remember, top being a repeated reliance on coincidence as plan. Interestingly I understood all the dialogue so either they changed the mix or my speakers are a difference maker.

Being dead is not some kind of state line where, if you can just cross the border, all your trespasses evaporate. The flowers still wither where you poured salt. The living continue to suffer the consequences of your actions. People are entitled to say, he made the garden worse, and now he is gone.

Like, whenever one of my coworkers died, exactly zero colleagues said they were great because they went out of their way to be a repellent prick all the time. Should perhaps have questions about a profession in which that is so clearly viewed as a great virtue?

I tend not to like fan casting because it inevitably runs on looks and excludes brilliant actors as a result. But people have been saying Dave as Kratos for years and you'd have to try very hard to honestly argue against it. Then again Chris Judge already did it perfectly so what's the point?

BARRETT: I had my first in-ring match with Nick, in a pub in front of ten people. COLE: Wade, you had your very first match of your career against this man. BARRETT: Yes I did. If Cole legitimately can't work better than this, fire him. #Summerslam
