@billmaher I refuse to watch any movie based on the stupid doll that I was told as a child I should be grateful for when I did not get my drawing paper, pencils or books.

OK, "Barbie": I was hoping it wouldn't be preachy, man-hating, and a #ZombieLie - alas, it was all three. What is a Zombie Lie? Something that never was true, but certain people refuse to stop saying it (tax cuts for the rich increase revenues, e.g.); OR something that USED to be true but no longer is, but certain people pretend it's still true. "Barbie" is this kind of #ZombieLie. Spoiler alert, Barbie fights the Patriarchy. Right up to the Mattel board who created her, consisting of 12 white men! The Patriarchy! Except there's a Mattel board in real life, and it's 7 men and 5 women. OK, not perfect even-steven, but not the way the board IN THE MOVIE - which takes place in 2023 - is portrayed. And not really any longer deserving of the word "patriarchy." Yes, there was one, and remnants of it remain - but this movie is so 2000-LATE. At one point the Barbies have to win over the Kens, and they are told to do it by pretending to act helpless and not know how to do stuff. Helen Gurley Brown called, she wants her premise back. Yes, that WAS a thing. I saw "Barbie" with a woman in her 30s who said, "I don't know a single woman of any age who would act like that today." I know, I know, 'How could I know about the patriarchy, I AM a man!' That argument is so old and so silly. Of course, none of us can know exactly what others go through life, but I can see the world around me, and I can read data. The real Mattel board is a pretty close mirror of the country, where 45% of the 449 board seats filled last year in Fortune 500 companies were women. Truth is, I'm not the one who's out of step - I'm living in the year we're living in. Barbie is fun, I enjoyed it - but it IS a #ZombieLie. And people who don't go along with zombie lies did not take some red pill - just staying true to CURRENT reality. Let's live in the year we're living in! Hi Ken!!! #BarbieMovie

@Minecraft If I really have to pick one... Give me the Calico. But I love all of them, so I'd take any. I am a proud pet mom to a calico, dilute torbie, and a silver tabby.

We have one important question: Pick. Your. Cat! #InternationalCatDay😺

@jdhenry83 Both of these are in my library. They're beautiful reads!

Has anyone read these books? If so, any good? #tjklune #books

@DanielBGreene Where are the fantasy maps? Just one map of the real world? Shameful. Where is the color? The books are far too symmetrical. This looks like shelves someone would create to show off how much they read without reading. (I know you do read, though.) Your shelves are too serious.

@Demilogic The Slime mount.

Farewell to my best canine friend, who passed away today. She had a tumor on her spleen that was undiagnosed, and it ruptured. She passed away at the emergency vet. May she run without fences or leashes in her next life.

@LogHunterKaz @DanielBGreene Try Books A Million... or BAM. They are my only local seller left, and have an online presence.

@DanielBGreene I really wish I didn’t buy off Amazon as often as I do. Unfortunately, B&N is 30% more expensive at times and the quality control of their shipping on online delivery orders is less than stellar.

@DanielBGreene I do not buy books from Amazon unless I absolutely have to. This means I've purchased only 2 books from them in 10 years. They killed all my local bookstores and made me mad.

@TangoTekLP I'm an oddball when the power goes out. I love it. People on the entire block go OUTSIDE and chat with each other like neighbors used to do. It is so quiet, its unreal. Mine you, I have a well with well water, so there are drawbacks to having outages. But I enjoy them!

Haven't had power for 7 hours. I have no idea what to do with myself.

@GTWScar Don't diss the horses, Scar... That's like dissing the parasaurs in Ark: Survival Evolved. Just don't do it. ROFL.

Minecraft Horses are overrated anyways.

@ZombieCleo I just wanted to say, I love how you made Scar cry with your wonderful creations. He felt recognized by your wheelchair child, and I remember the first time you showed us that. We need more of that kind of thing. Thanks Cleo.

@xisumavoid Isn't that something... O.o

Whats that smell??? Sniffsuma anyone?

@docm77 And it was awesome.

I am sorry to inform you guys, that I will not upload a video on Friday. I am so sorry. Instead it will come out today. At 4 PM CET. :-)

@Br0dy @EthoLP Looking forward to the VOD. I'm watching the first one right now.

Good news everyone. @EthoLP and I won’t be starving together… again? I mean, I’ll starve and he’ll probably mock me. Next Tuesday 8pm pst. Follow me on twitch and sub on YouTube for notifs. linktr.ee/Br0dyman00

@GTWScar The ONE time Grian did not want to touch the button, you had to egg him on, then punch it right after he did! Lol! You know, he can't resist mucking about with redstone stuff!

@GTWScar Oh.... OH! OH NO! Sorry, Scar, but... (laughs hysterically).

New video is up.... Hermitcraft 9 Ep 37: I DID A BAD THING... youtube.com/watch?v=Eqewbw…

@docm77 I await your revenge with baited breath. When that thing blew up, I was like... omg, its the hermitcraft apocalypse beginning.

Oh my GOOOOOOOD. I JUST WATCHED THOSE FOOLS VIDEOS. BLEW UP THE TUNNEL BORE! I WILL TAKE BRUTAL REVENGE. TIME TO EVICT MY NEIGHBOURS.

@gailcarriger I go watch Daniel Greene on youtube, or follow Stephen King.

Today I am genuinely wondering, how do you find a new book/author to read? Where do you go for new series recommendations?

@Smajor1995 Don't know why they'd be annoyed... just ignore them.

I've seen some tweets annoyed that I am in MCC when I make the teams, and I can understand your frustration over that, but I think you need to realise, I am just simply better! Have fun being mad though! Couldn't be me ✌️☺️

@impulseSV I was out of town when these were posted, but I watched them all over the week.

I didn’t make an option for zero. Poll is up for 24 hours so you have time to remedy that if that was your answer. Here you go 😉: youtu.be/RyBeEL3jzvU

I’m still buzzing from the Limited Life finale today. How many different perspectives did you watch today? (I watched 5 including my own so far)
