Captain America: Brave New World, 2025 - ★★½ (contains spoilers)

This review may contain spoilers.

Did this feel different if you watched it before Trump 2.0 took office? Because seeing the President put behind bars for having a temper tantrum was kind of nice.

I remember joking before our last trip to the USA in the fall of 2024 saying “better do it now before Trump”, not realizing how true it was going to be.

Stories like the Canadian detained by ICE for two weeks are going to have long term effects decisions to not travel to the USA.

Love this expansion of enshittification from Dave:

In an era where we’re able to rapidly generate cheap low quality content or software at a scale we’ve never seen before, we will need people with taste in the mix.

I need everyone to pause putting out cool tv series so I can catch up. I’m still behind on Silo, Severance, Shrinking, Survivor, Skeleton Crew, (that’s the S’s), White Lotus, The Penguin, Bad Monkey, After Life, Mr. Robot, Halt and Catch Fire, Orphan Black…

Maybe I’m the problem?

The ShopTalk Show YouTube channel couldn’t have come at a better time for @davatron5000’s confessional video. 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️🦝

Happy Monday. The washing machine is still being weird so why not add a broken peanut butter container to the mix? 😝 🤦‍♂️

A peanut butter container sits on a counter with a large crack in it.

Currently looking up how to get nail glue out of a washing machine as well as how to send a child to boarding school for one very specific reason. 😪

I went out for drinks with a friend and we talked about how, as 40 something year old dads, we don’t really have any friends. And somehow we managed to not blame women, “the kids”, our masculinity being taken away, or a political party for it.

Am I a weirdo? 😂

Read the book that Meta not only doesn’t want you to read, but wants to prevent its author from even talking about.

One #Fortnite win tonight. Go out on a high. 😆

A Fortnite video game victory screen shows "#1 Victory Royale" with various stats and options to ready up, report player, or return to lobby.A post-game screen from a Fortnite video game displays various statistics and accolades, including a "Victory Royale" achievement.

Boop!

End review.

One of these teams is not in the right division. 😆

A scoreboard displays a hockey match-up between Clavet Cougars U15C and Redwing Royals, showing home and away records. Clavet is 24-0, Redwing Royals are 6-15-3

Someday I need to add up how many people actually listen (or are subscribed) to all the various podcasts I edit for clients each week. I think it would actually freak me out to know how big the number is. 😆

There’s a lot of software I use (coughs in Notion’s direction) where I feel like they could charge extra for no AI and I’d pay it. Plus they’d make more money not having to pay for AI usage. Win win.

Hey Apple—I’m trying my hardest to use Safari + Tab Groups instead of Arc / Chrome, but Safari keeps crashing on a 32GB M2 Max Mac Studio. Daily.

Screenshot of Safari quit unexpectedly screen with a partial viwe of the system config and problem detail report.

I really hope the way Marco Rubio was welcomed to Canada was intentional trolling. 😆

March is when I start getting personally insulted by any amount of snow falling.

I’m not sure what these are exactly, but I’ve really enjoyed the podcast-related conversations I’ve been having with Tim each week on my Twitch channel. Here’s yesterday’s chat up on YouTube if you want to check it out but I feel like it’s mainly for me. 😜

We need to bring back the 2001 Rick Mercer talking to Americans series.
