I think I like spring mountain foliage better than fall mountain foliage.

Weekend at Bernie’s, 1989 — ★★½.  How in the world does this movie take an entire 33 minutes before it gets around to killing Bernie??

This is probably the most egregious doublethink example I’ve seen from the governor yet:
“Governor Glenn Youngkin Signs Executive Order Recognizing the Value of Recycling and Waste Reduction”
<two sentences later>
“The Executive Order repeals Governor Northam’s Executive Order #77, removing the burdensome restriction on single-use plastic at state agencies, colleges and universities. "

Unintentional poem from the Wikipedia entry on sweetgums:
The long-persisting fallen spiked fruits can be unpleasant to walk on;
Sweet gum is banned in some places for this reason.
In abundance, they can leave a lawn lumpy.

I woke up this morning and someone had put a six-foot metal wine rack shaped like a fish in my front yard?

Train to Busan, 2016 — ★★★★.  I’m working to expose my son to the full breadth of the zombie canon.
-
Top Gun, 1986 — ★★★½.  🏐
-
Master, 2022 — ★★★½.  A little too much of everything and not enough of anything. Lots of great horrible/creepy stuff in the first couple acts, though.
-
I think we should just combine all the prepositions into a single megapreposition.
-
3 Men and a Baby, 1987 — ★★★.  Driving this baby around in all these cars without a car seat is, like, 1000x more dangerous than any of the drug dealer hijinks.
-
Spaceballs, 1987 — ★★★½.  Took me four seconds, but I did eventually laugh at the Kafka joke.
-
Turning Red, 2022 — ★★★½.  I felt less like dying than I normally do during a Pixar movie.
-
Freaky Friday, 2003 — ★★½.  2.5 stars just for the Andrew W.K. song.

One of the best fever dreams I’ve ever had. 📚

Bare feet are the single-speed of walking.

Best moment in a while: Lady at a bus stop shouted “Ride it, honey!” as I biked past.

Virginia’s independent cities: Screwing up dropdown lists since 1871.

Youbelonghere (in the median testing out the low-light capabilities of the new iPhone’s 📸).

We definitely should put a bike runnel on the floodwall stairs. Where else?

This tree looks like Cthulhu. 🐙

Do you ever really break in a saddle or does the saddle break in you?? 🚲
-
Hell or High Water, 2016 — ★★★★. Sometime you gotta drink your own milkshake.
-
Every NextDoor preview email is a creative writing prompt in disguise.
-
Gravity, 2013 — ★★★★. I could watch space stations quietly disintegrate in the background for hours (and did!).
-
Antlers, 2021 — ★★½.  It’s OK to make a movie that’s just about a rad antler monster! We’ve got plenty of other movies about dad stuff.
