If you watched Olympic hockey, you saw footage from the 1980 Miracle on Ice and interviews with players from the game. You heard narration by Kurt Russel who starred in the 1981 movie about it. You know what movie is not currently available on any streaming service?

Miracle on Ice.

Oops.

#SorryBaby has a great screenplay. Very happy to see it win a #SpiritAward.

If Senate Democrats cave on defending ICE they must remove @schumer.senate.gov as minority leader. He's clearly not up to the task. We need a #GovernmentShutdown

They did this in -20 degree weather. They should be an inspiration. We need a nationwide general strike.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

So no military threat against #Greenland. No tariff threat. #TACO trump rides again.

If we take Dr. King seriously, MLK Day isn’t about remembering what he said, it’s about asking what he would demand of us right now.

Screenshot of a post by Luiza Jarovsky, PhD, on X discussing an error made by artificial intelligence software used by Utah police to transcribe body camera footage. The post states that the AI claimed an officer β€œshapeshifted into a frog,” and explains that the reason was even more bizarre. Below the post is a screenshot of a news article excerpt from Fox 13 News. The highlighted section explains that the AI transcription software mistakenly picked up dialogue from a movie playing in the background, identified as The Princess and the Frog, and included it in the police report. The article text is shown on a white background with a blue highlighted paragraph.

Screenshot of an archived tweet from Donald J. Trump dated October 9, 2012. The tweet claims that President Obama might launch military strikes in Libya or Iran due to falling poll numbers and describes him as desperate. The image shows the tweet in the older Twitter Web Client interface, with the timestamp visible at the bottom.

There’s always a tweet.

There's long been debate whether #DieHard is a #Christmas movie. This week I watched that and #ItsAWonderfulLife. And I'm wondering if the latter is a Christmas movie. At least Die Hard all takes place Christmas Eve. Only about the last quarter of It's a Wonderful Life has anything to do with Xmas.

Ever notice how today's real-life villains have freaky heads? Like a Dick Tracy cartoon come to life-

The list goes on...

Santa came down our street in his sleigh last night to say hi to the kids and get their Christmas lists! It spurred Lynette and me to get our Christmas tree πŸŽ„

Went to visit my Mom at her senior living facility in Arizona and was delighted to see a few dozen of the seniors out along the street protesting the trump administration. Still fighting for the future!

Well that was the most fun I've had in a long time! #TWENTYSIDEDTAVERN is part interactive play, part improv comedy, and part game. Everyone was laughing and cheering and booing the whole time. Very family friendly - tons of kids. No D&D experience needed. Highly recommend.

Cost per minute would be interesting especially with something like Star Wars where the content on screen is similar. I suppose the asterisk would really be the different revenue models between a theatrical feature and a streaming series. Profit is what's ultimately important after all.
