We caught the last :45 or so of the Oscars last night, which included the always-bittersweet “In Memoriam” montage.

As I watched it, a thought muddled up from my subconscious: when Harvey Weinstein leaves this world, will the Academy include him in the montage?

I think a lot depends on how much time has passed by then. Ditto for numerous other people, such as Mel Gibson and Kevin Spacey.

If there's enough passage of time to dull our collective memories of their transgressions, I think there's a fair chance their legacies in the industry will be honored.

I told my 8yo daughter that my new phone has PIN unlock, fingerprint unlock, and face unlock.
She said, "Daddy, does it also have fart unlock?"

I get to get up early to take my car in for a cut tire tread...

Then, if they are fast enough, take the dog to the vet.

Then drive 200 miles to the old casa Dngrs.

Somehow find time to change some spark plugs and tailligths...

No I don't go anywhere. My passport's been expired for years.

I never had one unless you count Military. Military forces basically go where they want and dare anyone to object. Not that I've personally ever left the USA except for Canada and Mexico but they're both long time bros of USA

Tell me honestly, is this a world you want to live in?

"Zhu Peiying, head of Huawei’s 5G wireless labs, is showing off devices that can connect to the new technology. From a smart toothbrush that collects data about how well you brush your teeth, to a smart cup that reminds you when you should drink some water, this is a world where everything you can think of is being measured and analysed."
