Serena Williams is the type of great that makes you watch a sport you otherwise wouldn’t just so you can appreciate excellence. A true GOAT in a time when that term is thrown around too easily.
I don’t care about the Oscars, but I hope I get to watch a dramatization of the last 30 minutes of this year’s show, written by Aaron Sorkin. Give me some good control room drama. TV execs being wakened from their beds.

Not sure what people (at least the tech savvy ones) expected when they excitedly adopted a browser made by the world’s largest advertising company.
It should be illegal to go to commercial when a home crowd realizes their team is about to win a championship.
First date with my now wife when I was 18: Lunch went well so I suggested we see a movie on a whim. This predated cell phone popularity so we just showed up at the theater and took our chances. Only thing showing for hours was “Bride of Chucky”
