I’ve seen a lot of strange takes following the Insurrection in DC of the Capitol building, aka Trump’s coup attempt. There is of course the conservative contingent who are desperately backpedaling to save their careers. There’s also the conservatives (big overlap in the two groups) who think that the repercussions for Trump using the Internet…
Like many people, I saw Wonder Woman 84 over the holidays. And, I’ve been trying to figure out how to broach the biggest issue I saw with the movie. Not the CG, not loopholes in the timeline – those are part and parcel with any superhero movie (or story on paper, anyways). But it was…
With the new year upon us, it’s a great time for bloggers to think about what lies ahead. And given that my day job involves giving this advice to people, I thought I’d share my personal top 5 recommendations for your very own 2021 blogging resolutions.

So that he could sell it on Amazon with a markup. This week was rough, my friends. Not…
Friday night, we said Goodbye to Zorro. For those who didn’t know – Zorro was our nearly 20 year old cat. That’s right. He was just a few months shy of 20.
After the 1980 US Hockey Team was criticized for appearing at the Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas, the team doubled down with their explanation that they were standing there for America. Blah Blah Blah. People were still livid, and now they’ve given more interviews to try to fix the situation. This still misses what…
If you know anything about hockey, just from pop culture – you probably know two things. The Mighty Ducks and Miracle – the movie about the 1980 US Men’s Hockey Team. The Miracle on Ice The Men’s Hockey Team defeated the Soviet team. Which was a big deal! Our national team was made up of…
The National Board of Review is saying that The Irishman is the best movie of the year. Look, I haven’t seen it. My husband has – and even as a Scorsese fan, he said it wasn’t that great. Based on the reviews, reviewers seem to equate length of film and career as the arbiter of…
