Advice Type #8: Should You Care What People Advertise on Their Vehicles

08/06/2022

Advice, Education, Politics

I recently saw this on a car next to me in a parking lot. I took a picture of a tiny portion of it because that is what I do when I see stickers that are completely cool or stupid. This one fits into the latter category much like PETA for People Eating Tasty Animals.

TV Mini-Series Recommendation: The Comey Rule (2020)

Netflix Recommendations, Politics, TV Recommendations

When I watched this, I had no expectations. I didn’t know how Brendan Gleeson would do as Donald Trump. I wasn’t sure how Jeff Daniels would be as James Comey. I mean this is the actor who starred with Jim Carrey in Dumb & Dumber. Let’s say it was average in that most everyone is

Life, Politics, U.S. Government

Although I’ve read only one of these bookings, I know someone who has read all three. He said they are all great especially “In the Garden of Beasts” and “Night.” It was too important for me to pass up not recommending them, given we currently live in a time when it’s become all too easy
