Toy Story 5: Online Bullying and Inept Parenting
Toy Story five is a one hundred two minute movie packed with thirty minutes of content, horrific parenting and no moral to the story.
Vicksburg is Dead to Me
I offered them any weekend adventure; no limits. They countered with fast food and bowling, then vetoed the beach in favor of the glorified sand pile by the lake. Meanwhile, my road trip strategy of keeping everyone mildly dehydrated assumes the gas station bathrooms work. New rule: avoid Vicksburg.
Are These Your Children or Your Grandchildren?

Neil deGrasse Tyson: The Lord's Most Powerful Evangelist
Meme of the day, courtesy of atheism: Neil deGrasse Tyson is secretly the Lord's most powerful evangelist, bringing people to Christ by making atheism so unbearably cringe you start begging for literally anything else. Also inside: week four of the diet and a Weird Al dance party.
