(Abed voice) I hate bottle episodes.
I would love a good #eurovision movie, especially this year when the real thing was canceled, but this new Netflix movie looks… bad…
voting
New voter registrations are way down this year. Please talk to people you know, especially young adults, and help them register online. Also, research vote-by-mail options in your location and encourage everyone who can to use them.

Trader Joe’s stopped allowing reusable bags in store (because pandemic) but will offer reused cardboard boxes instead. So this is what my groceries looked like this week.

My daughter: It’s only shampoo if it’s from the Champeau region of France.
Me: Yeah, otherwise it’s just sparkling conditioner.

I've kept tinkering with this from time to time. It now has strictly limited memory allocations, handles malformed requests better, and can serve non-text files properly.

Yesterday I had a serious conversation with my manager and another lead about the need to encourage everyone to take more vacation even though they can't really go anywhere. Today at stand-up everyone got "think about scheduling some PTO" as homework for the weekend.

seattle protests
This afternoon in a Zoom chat "tea time" with people I used to see at the office, we were talking about how frequent the offers of free food are while in the "autonomous zone". Then one of the regulars phoned in from there. We asked how long it was since someone last offered her a snack. Her reply: "No-one has, but that's only because I'm staffing the free snacks tent".

Demolition Man also makes a reference to the “Schwarzenegger Presidential Library.” This movie came out a whole decade before the start of Schwarzenegger’s political career!

I started watching Demolition Man (1993) tonight on a whim. Forgot how much it was a reaction to the 1992 Rodney King riots in L.A.
