I was having a pissed-off day yesterday with some criticism I don’t like to be directly told to, train schedule conflicts, and all the pouring rain wetting my shoes. Later that day, […]
Colossal
Gifted
Man, these number movies these days are really inspiring and smart. “The Wolf of Wall Street” spent our money on cocaine and sex; “The Accountant” managed to combine Autism, math, and criminals […]
