Watching Soul (movie)…. lots going for it

Some ultra woke neighbor of mine was trying to tell me that Soul is racist and she won't let her children watch it.

Yes, this neighbor does have a mixed race family and the father was/is somewhat of a close friend of mine but covid has kind of like most relationships made us grow apart.

I'm as liberal as they come but I'm pretty tired of this shit… It's a God damn feel good movie and this woman has to make everything a race issue. This is the same lady that discusses political oppression, gender issues, tells her kids santa isn't real but yet won't let them watch fucking Soul. End morning rant.

Sorry this happened to you. Was she saying this *after* you told her your own feelings about the movie? If so, that's pretty fucking bold. If not, she's allowed to express her opinion and it's fine for friends to have vastly differing opinions. Focus on the positive and try to mute button the negative.

I must be really unwoke cause I thought it was a great movie including its depiction of black people…and jazz

I came away thinking it would be great if more movies featuring black characters were like Soul


God I am a horrible racist aren’t I?

Exactly. I'm on the same side of everything with this lady and she makes an argument/issue out of basically any topic.

She's also a lawyer so pretty much on brand.

I was listening to WAMU the other day, and they were talking about some random topic and then someone came in and inserted race in the discussion, because of course they did. I was flabbergasted though i should have been. I wish i could remember what it was but i don't. It just seems to be the norm for some people.

Oh well, time to lift some weights in the basement and go for a run far shorter than 16.5 miles.

Well it’s not very 2021 to brag about where you’ve gone or who you hung out with

On a related tangent I am adopting a baby sourdough starter (well think mail order bride)
It hasn’t arrived in the mail but I’m tracking it like norad on santa
I’ve already read “what to expect when you are expecting”
Some people feed it 3 times a day, but I think I’m going with 2
We were going to have a gender reveal party… but that got complicated
Do people name their starters?

People do name their starters. How many times its fed really depends on temp, chlorine in water, and type of flour you're using. Better go out and buy at least a 10 pound bag of flour just for your starter. It took me about 25 pounds to build one from scratch in the summer.

so did you name yours?
After 25lbs I’d name it Bertha

Looks like 2021 will look the same as 2020 with another great listening party for the The Feelings - 12 Stops From Home… an album i totally judged originally on the generic band photo used for the cover on US release for it…. had a Maroon 5 vibe to it…  little did I know it was a great power pop album with lots of Supertramp and Queen like qualities..  saw a featurette on the band and got totally hooked

Well Tanya Roberts is having a good year so far… file under not dead yet…,

Was one of the neighbor on That 70’s Show

what kind of sourdough starters y'all messing with?  2 or 3 feedings a day?!?

once you've got a good starter going, it doesn't need nearly that much care.  seal it up in a mason jar, put it in the fridge and it can go for months without being touched.

source: the missus, who bakes 100% of our bread.  every batch contains at least some sourdough, the occasional batch is 100% sour.  the day before making a new batch, she pulls the jar out of the fridge and feeds it a few times over several hours to build it up.  she then refills the mason jar (typically about ~10% of the total mass) and puts it in the fridge, using the other ~90% to bake with.  go 2 months until more bread is needed, then repeat. 

admittedly my sister-in-law, who is a biology lab rat, is hyper-attentive to her starter and feed it regularly - but even she goes a week between feedings…


neither of them have named their starters, as far as i know.

replace the word starter with child…

I haven’t received mine yet and was going a little hyperbolic on the care and maintenance
But seems to be more work than a succulent

But the carpentry!!!

Dude, I made the poorly constructed support to the shelf as the wall of my cabinet has decided to move away and the 'shelf pins'? no longer support the shelf

GA?
Maybe it really is 2021.

Amy Klobuchar just referred to the Senators blocking the shenanigans tomorrow as "The Coup Fighters" and we should all take a break from election twitter to applaud that

i'm starting to think that an early sign of a modern failed state is the wide-held belief that entertainers make for good politicians.
