Just finished my annual rewatch. Great performances by Michael Caine and Rizzo the Rat. Aside from the creepy-ass Ghost of Christmas Past, it’s a perfect film.
On Disney+, under Extras, you can watch the version with the restored song “When Love is Gone.” It was originally cut by Disney exec Jeffrey Katzenberg and lost for many years.

(Not to be confused with the made-up drug from Riverdale.) I consider this to be one of the more enjoyable newer Christmas movies! I watched this one with my mom when I was quarantining at home and I honestly did not expect to like it as much as I did. It's a musical, and I'm going to be honest, none of the songs were memorable to me. But I find that's the case with a lot of modern movie-musicals, so I overlooked that. I just remember the costumes, colors, and choreography being great, and the story being heartwarming. It also has a very talented & diverse cast! Definitely on the more whimsical side; it reminded me of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium more than any Christmas classics. But I am a sucker for vaguely Victorian steampunk-y settings!

Has become my new favorite holiday movie. It feels so nostalgic, yet it only came out a year ago.

“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say ‘It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.”

I haven’t been on Twitter for years and hardly touch FB, but I had been an active user on Instagram since 2012. I really like taking and sharing photos, and that had always been a fun place to do it.
No more.
With the changes the content moderation changes they’re making, leaving LGBTQ+ folks vulnerable to be targeted; their rolling back of DEI programs; their willing participation in far-right rhetoric and politics; it’s all too much and I’m out.
As if Meta’s platform hadn’t already been increasingly enshittified, this was the final straw to announce how much worse it will get.
And you know what? It feels freeing. Better to leave it behind and find new platforms to connect with people.

The guy got my attention with, “Hey, I like your shoes.” Just like that, he had me. We talked about where I bought the shoes and how I used to work in the shoe industry. He used to work in the beer industry but had recently become independently wealthy because of an investment opportunity he started with a few of his friends.
”You get to be your own boss,” he told me. Your boot could be on your own neck. We’re back to the topic of shoes.
He told me it’s a small investment to get started but things are really taking off and I could get in on the ground floor. I could quit my job. Work for myself. Had I ever considered doing something like that?
“No,” I said with a shrug. I walked away with my jar of peanut butter. I can’t remember if it was creamy or crunchy. Probably crunchy.
Nice guy!
