As I peek out briefly from my Stranger Things 2-hole, I’m halfway through it, NO SPOILERS!!!…I wanted to drop a less depressing post to welcome you all to the home stretch of a crappy year. Well, crappy for the world since the most powerful person is now a Chinese dictator as per The Economist and I have to sadly agree, the orange baboon with a Twitter problem has squandered America’s place as a reliable player. Meanwhile, his followers, supporters and stormtroopers still have what a comedian called asshole momentum. Translation, they’ll never admit to being wrong about what they’ve done because there’s too much energy going this way to stop it. Plus as the Dunning-Kruger effect goes, stupid people worship equally dumb-ignorant types (Sarah Palin, Ronald Reagan) thanks to the aura of confidence they surround themselves, their bubble you could say. Let’s hope Mueller isn’t eliminated by a Saturday Night Massacre II.
Me? I’m getting prepped for the Winter Movie Season, Thor: Ragnorak is up first with The Last Jedi on the horizon. There’s a few more I want to squeeze in like Downsizing, Coco (maybe Pixar will regain their mojo), The Shape of Water and My Friend Dahmer. Pinballz will be my new launch point for cranking out this year’s blasphemous Christmas Cards. Lastly, trying to get my D&D game back on track along with maybe, maybe a couple other side campaigns I want to manage to keep me sharp. Either more D&D, Star Wars or the new Star Trek game I scored.
Don’t be strangers.
