I stumbled upon this film that reunites the cast of Kyle XY:

With The Office (Netflix's sixth most watched show in November) leaving for Peacock at the end of December, Netflix should commission a bunch of films starring the cast of The Office. Reunite them in different configurations à la Adam Sandler's friends.

Fighting Game Idea: Netflix vs. Capcom.

Idea: A sim game in which you manage a city during 2020. Another protest. Fund the police more? ICUs are filling up. Shut down outdoor dining?

Driving down to San Diego, I approach unmissable overpass signage.

I assume it's protesting COVID-19 restrictions, but no, it's about how a vaccine mandate violates bodily autonomy?

Similar signage down the road:

And in La Jolla:

"COVID-19 vaccines are not safety tested against inert placebo."

Well, they may not be, but good luck battling pandemic fatigue. If anti-vaxxers fell on deaf ears before…

What a luxury of the first world it is to be anti-vax.
