They’ve been accusing him of being too grabby with his women co-stars (no evidence of this, and the co-stars in question say he isn’t) and whining that he’s just in too many movies/shows these days (no more than other prolific actors). Smells like astroturfing and surprise, it is.

I had to get glasses for the first time last year, and I got a normal looking pair and a pair with rainbow frames, and the rainbow ones are the ones I’ve ended up wearing the most.

I can fit so many groceries on it!

I got a used RadCity 3 last month and really like it. I’m biking more and driving less for errands and commuting.

They did a good job covering that in The Last of Us (season one, episode…4 or 5?): 20ish years post-apocalypse, someone very prepared has kept battery cells in a refrigerator (in acid maybe?) and they have to rebuild the battery before they can use the car, but the battery works.

I think he also genuinely can’t comprehend anyone doing anything that isn’t for personal gain.

Sometimes it’s easier to stop something if you understand why it’s happening.
