It’s still crisp and slightly frosty out there!
And related to my previous post: “When Your Favorite Old Shows Don’t Hold Up” Yep again!
“Wacky Hijinks from 80s Comedies Were Mostly Rape”: Yep.
Showing the kids some “movie classics” is an exercise in filtering out half of them for having really badly aged, and providing historical context and disclaimers for the other half.

I… think maybe Eggers just needs to turn on spell checking in Final Draft? 😅
(But anyway, I’m legit excited for this!)

Do you know who Rob Liefeld is? Did you make fun of his drawings? This video won’t change your opinion of him but it will do a great job of contextualizing his amazing trajectory in the comics industry.
On TTRPG First-Looks and Unboxings
Lately I’ve seen a bit of criticism about TTRPG “reviews” that are mostly about flipping through a book and sharing first impressions. I do agree that it’s wrong to call those “reviews” but frankly, most of their authors actually call them “first looks” or “unboxings” anyway, so I’m pretty sure they are aware of that.
What I disagree with is the criticism that they are “useless”. It generally takes this form: “they only read the back cover and flip through the book, and I can do that myself!” And sure, I could do that myself too… if I had the book.
CBC News made this very good video explaining the trade imbalance between Canada and the US, and Trump’s (false) claims about “subsidizing” Canada. Spoiler alert: of course he wants our oil. And IMHO maybe later our water too.
