Final Destination movies aren’t serious, but are worth watching.

For teachers, it’s retirement party season.  My former colleagues are fun and interesting people, so the party was a good time.  It’s comforting to be home and drunk by 5 pm, like back in the good ol’ days.  I used to attend the Friday Happy Hour about once per month.  When I got home, I wasn’t good for much, so would cut the grass for a few hours and try not to drive into the creek.

New Pope, old problems

Blaze:  New pope, old problem: Will Leo XIV resist tyranny?

I keep saying that Pope stuff is none of my business, but interesting issues keep coming up. 

The Catholic Church finds itself locked in a battle against three hostile ideologies — globalism, Islam, and communism. And right now, it’s losing on all fronts.

An uncomplicated friend in your little world.

An article I was reading led me to the Reader’s Digest.   I was surprised that it still exists, and that it’s worth visiting.

If you are weary of reading about Trump, Biden, P. Diddy and Pope Leo, the Reader’s Digest is what you need.

Being Right Wing is difficult.

AG: Working Out Is Right Wing

I am apparently not a committed conservative.  I had planned to go to Planet Fitness to get in my workout, but I want to stay home to watch Youtube videos about the MCU.  There is about a 30% chance that I’m going to the gym today.

Also is everyone mentally ill?

James Comey Deletes Post Depicting ‘8647’ After Backlash Online

This is so dumb, Meghan McCain may be right when she asks if everyone is mentally ill.

Former FBI Director James Comey apparently posted a photo of shells on a beach that were aligned to read “8647” and has since sparked backlash online by those saying it is a “threat” aimed at President Donald Trump.

Mickey 17 was a fun movie, and gets a 7.5/10.

Mickey 17 was called a clumsy, pandering clown show by Critical Drinker.  I enjoy Critical Drinker’s Youtube channel, but we don’t like the same movies. 

The premise of the movie is that technology exists to make a duplicate of a person, and load the brain with the most recent memory update.  Earth bans the technology because it can be used to make a copy of a living person.  One commits a crime while the other has an airtight alibi.
