The prequel trilogy is not devoid of merit.
They're deeply DEEPLY flawed, woodenly acted, and badly written, but they're also extraordinarily beautiful, and they contain sequences and set pieces that match or exceed moments in the OT.
Yes, I know, an idea shared by many is my most controversial Star Wars opinion. Yes.
ALSO YOU KNOW WHAT THE ZERO-GRAVITY WATER BALLET IN REVENGE OF THE SITH IS FUCKING AWESOME OKAY

About to try the juniper latte, pray for me.
Official review: the juniper latte is like making out with a Guillermo Del Toro wood nymph
The juniper latte is like drinking a vanilla latte while trimming a hedge.

this is the church you go to if you think God is a strip of pulsing tendon at the center of the galaxy
this is the church you go to if you think God is best worshiped by walking barefoot upon upturned carpet tacks and the Eucharist is a panicked scream in a basement
this is the church you go to if you have identical ones built at ley line intersections across the globe, and at the moment of the eclipse you gather to watch the green light build and aim itself at the sun

TIMES NEW ROMAN IS A GARBAGE FONT. IT IS LIKE HAVING GRAVEL POURED IN YOUR EYES. IT'S LIKE BREATHING TAPIOCA PUDDING. IT'S THE NICKELBACK OF TYPE.
Times New Roman is like a blurry dick pic from Pliny the Elder.
Times New Roman is like getting licked by a cow you hate.

watching some columbo for the first time in my adult life (I missed around a third of primary school due to illness so probably saw some but I was more of an Ironside man when I was 7). It is indeed a man who is in some of my favourite films in my favourite kind of tv show.
My wife has the only decent Murder She Wrote tattoo I've ever seen, maybe a columbo one in my future.
and yes, I am aware "more of an Ironside man when I was 7" and the idea I had detective fiction hot takes as a 7 year old is venturing painfully into self parody

OK, this starts a substantial thread on the science & politics of the IAAF testosterone regulations, formally titled: ELIGIBILITY REGULATIONS FOR THE FEMALE CLASSIFICATION (ATHLETES WITH DIFFERENCES OF SEX DEVELOPMENT), put forward last April.
These regulations are fatally flawed
First a bit of background.
Here is the 800m final at the 2009 IAAF World Championships in Berlin
This is when Caster Semenya first came to broad international recognition:
Controversy over Semenya was immediate and poorly handled by IAAF, details of which are well-covered. Here is a contemporary TV news story:

Beautiful
(A microburst Twitter essay--to be finished before I'm done with my cough drop)

I just had an epiphany: #beautiful has become my new favorite word. That may seem strange given my circumstances. In June 2017 I was diagnosed with incurable stage IV #lungcancer.
I naively thought that maybe my lifetime of being a health and fitness junkie would insulate me from such a medical fate. Wrong. And So here I am, fifty-one years old and not sure how much time I have left on earth. I know I could, or maybe should, feel angry, cheated, jaded.
But I don't. I have this epiphany that my new favorite word is beautiful and I'm not sure why. There is nothing beautiful about what I've gone through since my diagnosis--lots of physical and emotional distress to be sure. But yet, I keep find

“What am I going to watch tonight?”

Some were good, some were better than that, and some were the greatest ever. Here's a list of must see movies of all time that you definitely can't ignore and actually worth your time. 

A great movie has been made for every reason. Have fun!
The Way Home (2002)

A film about the innocence and unconditional love that grows between a young boy and his grandmother.

A simple story told with much warmth & compassion.

This film is dedicated to all grandmothers. A best choice for kids and as well as for adults!

🎬: 78,5%
The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

It's not going to be a film to many people's tastes. If you like your character explorations dark, this could be the film for you.

Without offering simplistic answers, the film echoes on both personal and much larger societal levels.

🎬: 72%

A thread of books I’m reading this year.
The Entitlement Cure by @drjohntownsend is an insightful look at the way we enable people, and facing our own entitlements. A good read offering solutions to leaders, parents, and those trying to work on their own weak spots.

Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World by @AdamMGrant
Interesting look at the social science behind creativity, dispelling some old axioms. Chapters on application of principles make this a how-to manual.
