Just as I advocated for mask use when needed, I'm going to join @j_g_allen in advocating for ending mask rules when no longer needed. In my mind, that's after kids 5-11 have a chance to get vaccinated. /1 https://t.co/oeWYHDfFtc

What, taking reasonable precautions as warranted? Now you talkin’ crazy!

The first ten on today’s playlist:

And she can sing, too. Of course. Talent unevenly distributed and all that. If you like Anya Taylor-Joy, you should watch the two movies with her that hardly anyone has seen, both worth watching: The Witch and Morgan. The Witch is stunning. It’s one of the best movies of the last decade at least and I’ve been a ATJ hipster since 2015 because of that film. Morgan is not as good, not even close, but it’s worth it to watch it for ATJ’s and Kate Mara’s excellent performances therein.

Also, ATJ’s outfit in that video is both seriously cute and comfortable-looking. Someone in the comments mentioned it, but ATJ dropped out of high school because she was bullied for being unusual-looking. I hope those half-wits are wallowing in their loserdom now.

I don’t really like the vocals that much — just not my style. But that arrangement is great. So creative and keeps the spirit of the original while changing a whole lot. Very well done overall.

(Not live. They are syncing to their studio version.)

I’ve seen quite a few money laundering fronts like this. One was even in a building where I worked — a hair salon that was open sporadic hours and never had any customers.

Also, when I had to be in NJ for a work engagement one time, I walked into a restaurant near my hotel and saw a bunch of sketchy-looking but well-dressed dudes hanging around. I noticed there were no other customers, nodded at the sketchy guys and walked right on out. Obvious front. I believe they were Russian, though, not Italian.

I didn’t feel in danger, and I am sure someone would’ve made me some kind of food. But it wouldn’t have been worth a damn most likely. So I went elsewhere.
