Alright, let’s see what we have today!
First up, the trailer for In The Heights. I saw the show, and am so excited for this movie:
As an independent, I know I don’t (currently) have a say in the democratic primary, but in the last cycle, O’Malley was my pick. And hey look, he’s still feisty!
Speaking of politics, I’ve lost a lot of enthusiasm for Mayor Pete (but, as I wrote about before, I am still really, really proud of his candidacy and his staunch defense of liberal Christianity), and just like before, I don’t think he’ll end up being the nominee. That being said though, he takes a lot of heat unnecessarily for being ‘the wrong kind of gay.’ And that is incredibly hurtful, both within the community and without. There has been some great writing (which of course, I”m missing the link for currently) about Pete and the idea of ‘the best little boy in the world,’ and I think understanding that mentality helps us better understand where he comes from and how he approaches the political realm. All in all though, I’m be voting blue, no matter who.
Dumb Runner knocks it out of the park with their coverage of the 1:59 challenge.
It’s from earlier this year, but still great, the ‘trailer’ for Oscar:
In awesome news from the government (yes, actually), the FCC is setting up a nationwide three-digit suicide hotline.
Someone went through and read every piece of advice Dan Savage has ever dolled out, and they sum up their findings. It’s all great advice!
As we’re in the holidays, if you need a yule log video to cast up to a TV, Nerdist has a good roundup. I typically go with the Darth Vader one.
The amazing mash up of Hamilton and The Mandalorian:
Disney+ is bringing us a Star Wars game show next year!
My friend Nate has an amazing piece about our running team and the lessons he’s learned and how we’re learning from each other (and building each other up). Give it a read.
A reminder from The Oatmeal: be kind.
That’s it for now, have a great one!
