‘War Machine’ Breaks Through On Netflix As Dino-Content Takes Over Streamer From New Spielberg Docuseries ‘The Dinosaurs’ To Jurassic World Franchise It was an erratic week on the Netflix Top 10 with War Machine to new seasons of Bridgerton and The Night Agent to a slew of dino-related content

Anyone else watch WAR MACHINE on Netflix? Based on this article (deadline.com/2026/03/war-...) some of you must have. It was bad. Like really bad. We watched the end only to laugh at how bad it was. Now, Netflix is going to think it's a good idea to make more. 😭

I love my job. Recently it included getting to introduce hundreds of 6th graders in Plano, Texas to Celtic mythology! Is it just me or do we need more books incorporating Matriarchal mythologies?

Apple removes ICE tracking apps after pressure by Trump administration Apple said on Thursday that it had removed ICEBlock, the most popular ICE-tracking app, and other similar apps from its App Store after it was contacted by President Donald Trump's administration.

Am I #Apple blinded? I thought their CEO was a man to look up to. At every turn the company is bowing to this administration. Not fighting for what's right, only what's easier for them to keep making money.

What phone should I switch to? Computer?

After watching Jimmy Kimmel last night, it made me wonder about why we let CBS off the hook. Why didn't we fight for Colbert? Was it that we needed it to be hit over the head by this administration more than once to take their silencing attempts seriously? What can we do to stand up for Colbert?

My son just called me on his way back from the gym. He's in college, and got up early (not his usual modus operandi) at the behest of a roommate. And he doesn't know it, but that call made my day.

Hug your kids. They grow up too fast.

Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of. They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
