Same. I think they’ve moderated JD’s character just the right amount.

I'd say it's a skip. The main titles are where it's at.

I've heard people calling it Greenstone.

He said immediately after the announcement that he had not been in touch with the administration. Could it be that he, too, had not been consulted?

Glad to be able to write about organ donation. It’s a practice the church doesn’t talk about nearly enough.

If you’re looking for an unbiased and well reported POV on what’s going on in Iran, Australia’s Laura Tingle is for you.

I went on the same journey as the characters about using a play. By the end…

Alex, I just finished listening to your chat with Connor G at Cerebro. You know how to listen in a way that makes the other person feel safe and heard. It was really wonderful. Everything about that conversation was a little sparkle of hope for me.

An Australian friend says we need a new term for these β€œCatholics”: CINOs.

Well exactly.

Don’t get me started on CB. I’m sure he’s a nice man but editorially the company is in the toilet.

Definitely a hot take lol

Five authors I’ve read at least five books by:
The one where the spiders get smart and fly spaceships
The one with all the planets
The one with all the doors
The one who still hasn’t finished yet
The one who writes about true crime in Australia

Also, if I’m Tom Holland, the idea of getting pitched to cameo or whatever in some kind of wacky trainwreck where I get to say β€œIt’s Morbin’ Time”feels way more appealing than being asked to do another grimdark superhero film.

I wish they’d pick up on what viewers are putting down: 1) We don’t accept or see the need for a gritty serious Spiderverse. But 2) we kind of love it when you get absurd.

Instead of canceling the universe, imagine if they doubled down and did a Madame Spider et al/Morbius road movie.

A cop who doesn’t think a massive snowball fight isn’t going to see him as a fun target is just not thinking.

The smart move was either stand at a distance and make sure no one was getting hurt or jump in and have a laugh.

The police tend to want to nudging mayors more and more toward a sort of kneejerk authoritarianism that will back them on anything no matter what. Just like environmentalists want to protect everything (which, to be clear, I am for). And he's so new, of course they're going to try and play him.

Or he could say, I'm learning about this now. (It's been a busy couple days ha ha.) I'll be speaking to the commissioner. We want to make sure everyone's okay. Kids should be able to have fun in the snow, and the police should also be respected.

I don't know. Hindsight, Monday Morning QB, etc.
