Watched The Music Man with my kids tonight (I’ve seen it many times - it’s their first.) I’m bringing back “great honk” as an expression of exasperation. Don’t try to stop me. Great honk.

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org

So, Lana Del Ray's theme for 007 First Light might be the best Bond theme ever. Fite me.

Saw Supergirl. Really liked it. Not a perfect movie, but I liked it as much as the new Superman, which is quite a lot. Really liked Milly Alcock as Supergirl. Want to see more.
How about some new Batgirl Supergirl art to round out the work week. 💜🙂❤️💙

Updating my pinned post. I post about games, mental health, programming, politics, 3d printing, and random other things. I don't really have a brand. If you know me, you almost certainly know me from my time on World of Warcraft. I'm a recovered evangelical who's now Lutheran. Be kind.
