    Trash TV Secret Shame

    Most of the others are legitimately pretty garbage. "The People's Court" isn't bad. After that it's stuff like "Court TV", with bits of actual cases, and Youtube videos of court proceedings.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I think that the architect who built the hotel that I'm staying in also designed Nijo Castle. In addition I think an Oni moved into the room directly above me, last night.

    Trash TV Secret Shame

    Court TV shows. "Judge Judy" is as if my late mother did crack.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Is Almost Upon Us! Discuss What You Want

    That's a pity. What started as satire became an homage, that dealt with issues every bit as weighty as the best of Trek.

    On participation trophies

    That last paragraph reminds me of the last time I went to motorcycle racing school. It was my 8th time. At the end of the day, when they were handing out awards, the owner said, "Have we never given you one of these things?" "Nope, never got one." So I got one. It was a case of concentrating on...

    On participation trophies

    But I think you can have both. You can reward participation, while also rewarding exceptional performance. I think that both are necessary to a healthy culture. You both want and need exceptional people to do exceptional things, while hopefully not stifling those who aren't exceptional. You...

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    I definitely like the cutting between Fisk and Daredevil, mirroring each other. It's been done many times before but when it's done WELL... 🤯

    "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt." ... but they didn't have the ability to type on the Internet.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I feel like Toronto has been telling me I need to get the hell out. Not so long ago I was walking around in a t-shirt, but we got snow this morning. Then again a friend told me, today, that they were expecting a huge storm and I saw "storm rotation", or something like that, on The Weather...

    Please. That's "dietary fibre" like they used to put into Fresh Horizons bread. Just ask Marketing.

    - He's a Batman level bad guy in "Cable Guy", though not super. - "Donnie Darko" - "Lair of the White Worm"? Maybe not big enough though. Maybe "The Host"? - Don't know the genre.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    And here I was hoping that my trip to Seattle, in a couple of days, would result in more stable weather. I'm certainly not expecting the 90F and sunny weather I experienced on my first trip out there around this time, 10 years ago, but my hopes are still high.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Welcome to the whiplash of Toronto weather. About a week ago we had daytime temperatures of up to 16C. Towards the end of last week we were below freezing, during the day, and I woke up to snow on the ground today.

    Interesting that they seem to have specifically gone for a very 1980s vibe with the tech.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    About the only way to do it would be to make the character someone who is working to bring the company down, from the inside, which means you're not likely to be an active participant in any adventure. You have to maintain plausible deniability.

    I very sorry to hear that. Have you had any luck with lining up any mobility aids, so you can be somewhat independent in the near future?

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I recommend a walk around Point Defiance or, perhaps, a little sitting on the rocks below Snoqualmie Falls. I hope to do the latter and unwind from work a bit, in a a little over a week.
