Like in The Mummy? In fact, the really big sandstorm is all i can remember from that movie. That, and Brendan Fraser, who i have a love/hate […]

Lately, i’ve been noticing all the things we did on purpose in the 1970’s that we know nowĀ WILL KILL YOU.

But science still sucks. i just learned that facial expressions don’t accurately convey emotionsĀ from top ranked neuroscientist, Lisa Feldman Barrett, who uses actual SCIENCE to figure stuff out instead of Facebook feeds and Gut Instincts which i capitalize, because, that’s pretty much my own M.O. and it ROCKS. i’m totally F-I-E-R-C-E. Dude. But i don’t […]
