Is it wrong to yell at people who rush down my father in law’s Seattle street, which Google Maps has declared an arterial? And would anybody understand if I asked, “You never park yourself? Are you Bong Joon-Ho’s SNOWPIERCER?”

Real talk: I am especially sad to learn so much about Sam Neill because my formative impressions of him came from: The last Omen sequel where as Damien he becomes Evil President; Reilly: Ace of Spies, where he’s a Ridley-like infiltrator; He was always a bit creepy to me! Wrong!

Also, sodastream is great for your thirst but what does it do for your pants and your kitchen furniture? That’s where drinkmate comes in handy

I want a Spotify for sports where I can watch seasons and seasons of past games. I suspect the idea terrifies the leagues and the espnoverse though. And no angle for the betting houses
