My wife, son and I walked out of Will Ferrell's "Holmes and Watson". Terrible.

Project 1999 and Project Quarm. Emulators of EverQuest, which was released in 1999. Official EverQuest is still going strong 25 years later, but the emulator developers (the are several projects) have an agreement to run their versions of the game.

I'm playing Project Quarm version now and spend way too much time on it.

I'm sick of being lumped in with people that elected Trump because I live in the United States. But that's how it is, we're part of a collective.

"Fewer than ten" is even more technically correct.

Interesting fact: Founding members of the band Devo, Jerry Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh, were art students at Kent State University when the May 4, 1970 shootings happened. It's a big part of why a lot of their early music was such angry, bizarre, art-punk.

It also explains their name. Devo is short for "de-evolution" the idea that society was devolving.

Casale said “All I can tell you is that it completely and utterly changed my life. I was a white hippie boy and then I saw exit wounds from M1 rifles out of the backs of two people I knew.” He added, “I stopped being a hippie and I started to develop the idea of devolution. I got real, real pissed off.”

He won't endorse Trump, but he refuses to say he's voting for Biden.

So he's not endorsing Trump, but he's still voting for him.

It wasn't a good idea. She was over-coached to pieces. I've heard pundits on the right and left say it's a shame what she did because by all rights she's a smart and capable woman.

Edit: I didn't say I agreed with her politics. Downvote if you want, but this kind of marginalization of a smart woman on either side of the conversation erodes the condition of all women.
