    I put every other show on hold and almost completely avoided YouTube last week to rewatch season 1 of The Last Of Us. Worth it! (I'm not a gamer and I have never played either of the video games this series is based on.)

    I watched the first episode of season 2 and really enjoyed it. Seems like a lot of this season's problems were set up and I really liked some of the new cast: Kaitlyn Dever and Isabella Merced, especially.

    So, odd/good news: I followed the link and claimed the offer BEFORE I signed in and it worked. Tried to sign in, THEN claim it 3x, never worked. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    I'm not currently enjoying a free trial, I claimed one last year. I have no idea why I can't redeem the offer.

    Wow, unavailable to me because I have already redeemed a free trial with my account. Silly.

    The Ford Maverick sounds like it would fit your needs and the hybrid version gets 45+mpg.

    Strange article: the headline was contradicted by the claim made that China will violate contracts as late as during shipment. I think the gist is that the US will have to be willing to give more...

    Strange article: the headline was contradicted by the claim made that China will violate contracts as late as during shipment. I think the gist is that the US will have to be willing to give more and ask for less if they wish to compete with China's influence in South America.

    Don't be put off by the Netflix series, but Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan is a solid trilogy.

    Way more interesting than I would've guessed before watching it. Another win for the YouTube algorithm.

    This was not a good race. This was not a fun race. This was a train wreck. The FIA needs new leadership. Formula 1 needs professional stewards and a qualified race director. Incompetence and bad intentions everywhere. Hopefully next season everybody can course correct.

    The Wire was shot in full frame 4:3 on film. The remaster cuts information the cinematographer and director included as part of a conscious choice to shoot in the 4:3 aspect ratio. If you can find the DVD sets, I'd recommend them over watching in widescreen.

    I'm a tiny bit disappointed the Celtics weren't at full strength for this one but it's still a good win. On to Cleveland!

    Steph Curry is back for another Warriors win! I know it's early and last year's fast start fizzled out about this time but this has been a pretty enjoyable start to the season. The next 5 games should tell us a lot about this year's ceiling... Boston on Wednesday!
