Today it’s important to reflect on balancing our circle of concern with our circle of influence. There are some things beyond our control. And if we spend too much energy focused on those things, we won’t have the energy to make the impact where we are most needed and influential.

What if Ted is Neo? In Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure the protagonists are destined to bring humanity to a state of utopia. What if that journey was actually him converging with the matrix to create the new version which was referenced by Smith as a flawed version that the human mind rejected

Someone has put together an amazing multi-film story around this but Carl Winslow from Family Matters is Al Powell from Die Hard (and watching Ghostbusters recently he is an unnamed cop who tells the crew that they've made bail) all played by Reginald VelJohnson

Not a character but a couple of celebrities. Pretty sure that Donald Glover and Childish Gambino are the same people.

"remember when I started the war to bring back Christmas...we ended that pretty quickly" You mean like you ended the war in Iran quickly?

A team of superheroes comes together to stop an alien with a horned helm looking to create an interstellar invasion with a powerful cube

The Wizard of Oz and Princess and the Frog.

Wonder Woman and Captain America: The First Avenger.

Tombstone hands down.

Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder

Not if you've watched Hannibal

You know Alien: Romulus was sofa king good. But that tribute to the past was icing on the cake.

How do you choose one...maybe the most unexpected Maxwell covering Red Hot Chili Peppers

Whether or not you think AI is unable to do your job doesn’t matter if your boss thinks it can.

Can't document systemic racism if you don't document race.

Take these words home and think it through or the next rhyme I write might be about you.

"People pointing out that the policies I voted for caused the situation I'm in have made me steadfast in continuing to vote for those policies because they're so mean to me unlike the Republicans who are only mean to those other people."

Look going around bagging up people's lives instead of making sure they had places to live is disgusting villainous behavior.

Can we talk about the upcoming Marvel Midnight universe because this seems like it will be an incredible take on our favorite superheroes reimagined in a horror setting. It's definitely got me hooked just from the previews and description

We keep comparing the US to Nazi but in reality they got it from this country. It's just more people realize it because it's not just Black people being affected by the regime. None of this is new to us.

Masters of the Universe is totally cheesy and dopey. And totally perfect!

In town after Juneteenth Conference JuneteenthConf.com I grew up in Chicago and someone mentioned Lems and I NEVER heard of them before. I feel like I've been lied to my entire life. We did DD&S BBQ. How have I walked on this earth 48 years and never heard of Lems before. I'll let y'all know

I lost to time but getting a brilliant move in a one minute game definitely makes you puff with pride.

I decided to play Blitz Chess (3 and 5 minutes timed games) to help me improve my decision making. The games are much faster and it helped me fail more and learn from my failures. When I switched back to rapid (ten minute games) it felt like I had all the time in the world to make a move.

Finally sitting down with Assassin's Creed Odyssey (I know a bit late) just set sail for Megaris and WHOA NELLY! That was quite the setup.

Please say psych!

I was confused when I first learned the concept of detachments in WH40k You choose a detachment for your army and it gives your army an archetype for what it's good at doing. I always thought an army would have multiple detachments. Part of your army specialized in one role. 11th fixes that.

I had a colleague who mentioned "my partner" even though he's in a hetero marriage. It gave me pause because it's yet another way we can disrupt the normal patterns of language.

Hot damn they revealed the contents of the Armageddon box (WH40k 11th edition launch) www.youtube.com/live/MfTSpDS...

You must watch Alien: Romulus next. The others have their value in the series but Romulus is the one true sequel to Aliens to me.
