Unpopular opinion…I was pretty underwhelmed by The Odyssey. The acting was pretty mid and the dialogue pretty meh. The casting was also not awesome, maybe with the exception of Lupita N’yongo…who I thought was pretty good. May be better as a series.

Lesson #37 in home ownership…there is no such thing as being done with the yard work. The range of “doneness” at any given time is anywhere between Eden/botanical gardens and neighbors were about to call 311.

In the movie Defending Your Life, when you die, you go to place where you can eat whatever you want and never feel full or gain weight and it is the best version of that food you’ve ever tasted. If there is a heaven, I hope that’s it.

I know I’m just rage posting these days, but Fuck Jared and Ivanka. They want to make another island playground for the Epstein class while disrupting a bird and turtle sanctuary in a sovereign. There are no good ones in this family. They are all evil little assholes.

Paramount Plus cancelled again! Had renewed to watch the end of Colbert. Firing of Scott Pelley was a good reminder to cancel. Lesley Stahl and Bill Whitaker…if you have any heart at all, you should quit too.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Howard Fields. He was a giant in field and a great supporter of young scientists. He really derived joy from his scientific pursuits. May his memory be a blessing. ❤️
