My 15 year old cat Angel, who loves me more than anyone ever has and more than I deserve had been to the vet a few times recently and costing us money we can afford to lose.

My Thoughts -
One problem with Hollywood inserting diversity into film without regard for historical fact is this: I just watched a fine show, set in LA in 1932. A character, formerly white in all prior incarnations, was now African-American. As was to be sadly expected, esp given his job,, he experienced discrimination, a glass ceiling, and occasionally outright bigotry. I thought the character was actually handled pretty well; he isn't my complaint.

The Bigots were Wrong
The Colorado shooter has been identified as 21 year old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa.
Those of you who made snide little jabs about the alleged ethnicity of the murderer before his identity was established - as if somehow the death of innocents is a "win" if the killer has skin color A as opposed to color B - kindly try being informed AND opinionated, not just the latter.

Zach Snyder's Justice League
An incredible film, superior in every way to the Whedon version; four hours passed in the blink of an eye. Cyborg was now central to the story, as he should have been all along; Steppenwolf was, for lack of a better word, humanized by letting us see his motivation; and most surprising, the once laughable (Jared Leto) Joker was completely redeemed to the audience - I can't believe I'm saying it, but please, bring Leto back for more!

How I feel speaking with Marvel fanboys butthurt by the Snyder Cut getting the attention it deserves.

True Story
True story: I once was given a cinnamon cupcake with cream cheese frosting by one of my offspring. I won’t name names but the name starts w an “o” and ends with an “ivia”. I repeatedly told this child how it was the best cupcake of my life, how I couldn’t stop thinking about said desert. That was two weeks ago, they are sold where she works, she works a lot. I think it’s time to update that last will and testament. - Lisa
