Still, with Whedon leaving the Avengers franchise right before all sorts of creative new recruits are introduced to fight Thanos — including Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, and Black Panther — does he harbor any twinge of regret that he won’t ever get to script the first Avengers conversation between, say, Tony Stark and Star-Lord?
‘Oh, buddy, are you kidding?’ said Whedon. ‘I’m angry about scenes between people in my movies that I didn’t get to write!’

I should’ve run this yesterday, but — well, things were busy. The daily, I’ll write something every morning, thing is on hiatus for awhile due to family business. Nothing bad, but just distracting when juggled with deadlines and other things. Normal service should be resumed in a week or so.
(I write that as if I have an audience; I really don’t think I do, for these, but I write nonetheless, imagining that one day I’ll be my own audience at least.)
Always forgive your enemies – nothing annoys them so much.

In the end, this weekend was successfully stressful and relaxing at the same time. My family arrives tomorrow, so I’m taking the chance to take things as easy as possible, which this weekend turns out to be “not very relaxing at all, because things need to be done.” On the plus side, I got a lot done that will hopefully mean my week won’t be too crazy, but these things never go to plan.

Skidding into the weekend, but I’d be lying if I said I sensed any hope for a slow down — my family arrives in days, and I’m in the there’s still so much to do mindstate: work that I’ll have to fit in around everything else next week, cleaning house, haircuts, plus various social engagements and other events. (It’s Easter, apparently, but who knew? It genuinely wasn’t on my radar anymore.) I’m sure that when it’s all happening, I’ll be able to feel relaxed and sensible, but right now, I feel the way I do before a vacation, when you’re driving yourself insane to get everything done on time, but on this occasion, there’s no break in store for me, just a different type and schedule of obligations. Happy Good Friday, all. Go eat an egg or something.

Appearing yesterday on CNN, Senator Tom Cotton ® urged critics of Indiana’s ‘religious freedom’ law to get ‘perspective,’ suggesting the treatment of LGBT people in Indiana compared favorably to countries where gay people are executed.
‘I think it’s important we have a sense of perspective,’ Cotton said. ‘In Iran they hang you for the crime of being gay.’
From here. And, really, holy shit.
