Would love to know what goes through the mind of someone who lets Amazon scan their palm to save 15 seconds at Whole Foods checkout. I mean I’ve got a Prime Visa credit card but come on.
Maybe Amazon Fresh and other gig workers are so pressed for time and there frequently enough they are forced to?
Would’ve been 4 stars but could’ve done without that incredibly legitimately effing traumatic last plot twist near the end there. Had no idea this was a Richard Curtis screenplay until the credits and the pretty darn solid story and writing make a whole lot more sense now compared to when I thought it was just some random Netflix junk.
Looking forward to watching this again with the kiddos next year.
Rating: 4 stars

I kinda just assumed this was the whole point of Honey? And it always seemed like a privacy disaster that didn’t actually find any good codes the couple times I looked at it.

Why don’t they make the peppermint pretzels in acquirable quantities? Both Rold Gold and Costco variants are great and only available for like 3 days per year.
We are like two weeks away from the year 2025 is this is a real life error message on barnesandnoble.com right now. The last version of Internet Explorer was replaced by Edge in 2015.
Wait should I not still be wearing this Threadless tshirt of a T-Rex playing Asteroids on an arcade cabinet? Is that not cool anymore? Or this one about refrigerator-based haikus?
MENSWEAR GUY: Furthermore, you’ve neglected to even cut the vents of the shockingly poor-fitting sport coat you’ve, for some reason, chosen to wear to breakfast
MAN WHO STILL WEARS A THREADLESS TEE FROM 2003 WITH TWO ANTHROPOMORPHIC HOUSES HUGGING UNDER THE TEXT “HOMIES”: haha get his ass derek
In a fun coincidence, I ended up working with the Threadless fridge haiku creator/poet Rolf Nelson for a couple years back in 2019 or so. Threadless tees were like 40% of my wardrobe in the 2000s.
This is amazing. Going to try to start a pickup Ice Football game next time I take my daughter to open skate.
watching German ice football highlights, I’ve never felt more alive

Biggest takeaway from College Football Playoff final rankings: CFP committee/ESPN protecting those conference championship cash cows.
Saw this with my daughters and nine other 12 year old girls. They loved it but personally was only about 4/5ths as good as the Broadway version. Erivo and Grande were fantastic. Defying Gravity was weakened a little by all the movie that was happening during that song. Still great!

I wish I had know this earlier. If I wanted to go see it in 70mm IMAX here in Dallas at 2:20 in the morning Monday I’d have to sit first 2 rows towards the edge. Every other showing including 8am showings is down to accessible seats only or completely sold out.
