Comedian Louis CK comes to mind. He was hailed as edgy and insightful, and then the harassment allegations came. He is trying to get back through smaller venues and his website. Not sure if he will ever get other gigs.

I just scroll through whatever the YouTube algorithm picks. The one channel I follow most regularly is Insider and its sub-channels like Food Insider. I agree that the platform has a lot of sameness to it. Other times, you hit pure gold with random searches.

Zoom is better than Skype or Google Hangouts for larger groups. Microsoft Teams is supposed to be pretty good, too, especially if you already use Office 365. Not tired of Zoom yet. Mandatory sheltering, yes.

My current favorites are Tom Hanks, Keanu Reeves, and Florence Pugh. I also like Brad Pitt and Gemma Chan. However, I will skip movies with them if the plots just look too cheesy or dull!

I tried watching the first episode. Seeing people raise big cats like pets makes me a little bit uncomfortable. But wow — looks like this series has been quite the sensation!

Such a great movie with an interesting mix of actors: Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, Christopher Plummer, Christopher Meloni, among others. The ending really hits you.

Canada and Australia have pulled out of the games. Both are asking for postponement – until 2021. Makes me wonder who else will join them.

Quite a number of schools and universities are done for the academic year in May. Now is a good time for those campuses to shut down and get deep cleaned for however long is needed.

Now on the fourth season of Better Call Saul. These episodes are going really fast! The more I watch it, the more I enjoy it.

I like going out for birthday lunches or dinners with family. Like others mentioned, I also keep it low-key. If I were really rich, though, I would host an occasional big party at a restaurant.

I would definitely recommend 1917, but not sure if I would rewatch it. The intensity I feel the first time I see a war story wears off the second time.

I hate watching dirty dishes pile up, but once I start washing them I kind of like the soap smell and feeling the warm water.

@coleman I would have just believed the original charges, sad to say! Weird to think about, but other actors that were up for the Andy role were Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, and Johnny Depp.

@coleman The story is loosely based on a real prison escape in the 1950s. The guy was on the run for 50+ years before getting caught. I loved how the director showed the prisoners making their own community, but it was also really sad seeing the older ones struggling to adjust once they got back into the "real" world. I connected to that sadness of starting new in a new place, missing friends you saw regularly.

I re-watched Shawshank Redemption a number of times. That might be the only one I would sit all the way through again, start to finish.
