From the WSJ article covering this suit: “The UAW, which has endorsed Kamala Harris, the presumptive presidential nominee for the Democrats, has been eager to blunt the former president’s appeal to working-class voters by painting him as a friend of the wealthy.”

So, yeah… 🤨

Not just that. Hopefully someone watches and keeps a running score of how many times they disparage “others”!

It was just okay. (Spoilers ahead!)

The overarching story that “love wins” I felt was nice, but the way it was handled really diminished Trinity’s role/value. No longer a bad ass herself, she’s now just there to support the male lead.

The reusing of the original character tropes, down to their names(!), wasn’t great. Easier to explain to the audience I guess, but severely lacking in originality.

Cool special effects, as always!

If I remember correctly the line that summed up M4 was spoken by Trinity (paraphrased), “That’s the horrible thing about selling your ideas. Once the company has them they can do whatever they want, whether you agree with them or not.” (Referring to the software game Neo had sold, and was working on at the beginning of the movie…)

Which was a weird line in the context of the movie, and makes me believe that Warner Bros. was going to make M4 regardless of what the Wachowski sisters wanted, or thought of the script. So one of them signed on to salvage what they could.

I enjoyed it, but won’t be rewatching it anytime soon.

The perfect Summer sammy, and one that’s surprisingly contested as actual food:

Summer Tomato Sandwiches

  1. Lightly toast white bread. I like buttermilk-based ones.
  2. Add mayo, not miracle whip, MAYO(!) to taste.
  3. Add sliced tomatoes.
  4. Enjoy!

We had these growing up on really hot Summer days, the kind of day when it’s too hot to cook.

Sir, but Dru is fine. Happy cooking!

Pro Tip: Before breading the chicken sprinkle a bit of the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Use a fork or slotted spoon to dip and sprinkle.

This creates little nuggets of coating that will give your finished food a bit more crunch.

I’d heard that he was going to do that, but is he and it’s working!?

Here’s a Hot Take: Order from the place that hits your sweet spot between quality and price!

Chain stores are usually franchised so a lot of the money is still local.

Also branch out! I’ve discovered that a local Bar & Grill a few blocks away makes a freaking amazing pizza for about half the price of everyone else on town. It’s INSANE how good and cheap this pizza is!

That was oddly specific wasn’t it!? 😂

So Fresh and Hot!? Gotchu…

A GoFund me page!

If that’s something you want to do and/or help manage for them, make sure to set it up in the one of their name(s) for tax purposes.

No, convicted felon, and genuinely weird creepy Donald Trump, will take your ball and go home.
