What a wild ride. I think we all knew the voter turn out would be record breaking, but the numbers really are astounding. Bernie Sanders just released a statement where he shared that 53-56% of eligible voters ages 18-29 turned up and actually voted. The fact that Trump received the second highest number of votes of any U.S. nominee in history and still lost by around 5 million votes is really something.

Disney Investors Meeting thewaltdisneycompany.com/disney-investor-day-2020/So far they've announced 15 live action features to come, 15 shows from Disney, Disney Animation and Pixar, as well as 10 new Star Wars shows and 10 new Marvel shows. They've actually announced several other big things, but those are the ones I was looking at. While I am super into watching MMA events, all I'm concerned with regarding ESPN+ is that it works. Anyone here reading this may recall my anecdote from watching a PPV event 2 years ago where I begged/screamed at the person over the phone to just take my money via a less convoluted process. In retrospect I always regret getting testy with customer support, but at that time ESPN+ launched while it still had a ton of bugs that needed to be worked out and customer support was being paid to pretend it was the consumer who just didn't know how to operate the site. EDIT: They're about to start talking content now!!! UPDATE: Of course the sizzle reel content isn't meant for the non investor streamers. Can't see any of it. Not surprising, not a problem tho. This is a similar experience to comic con at home, even tho this is an investors meeting and not meant to be like a comic con.

So, the U.S. is a piping hot mess. We have been for a while, but yeah. I'd link to an article, but which one honestly? We are on the brink of a civil war unfortunately. Many still believe that's hyperbole, but bells have been rung that cannot be unrung. Do I think it'll actually happen? I'm leaning more on "no" than "yes", but to say we are on the brink is not an overstatement in my opinion.
Meanwhile, I feel as if I'm one of the 3 people who has never left quarantine, and I'm watching the world fall apart from my living room.

Yeah, this really hurts. The man was basically Batman for my entire life; while there have been plenty of other voice actors besides him since TAS, it's just hard to believe there will never be another Conroy Batman project.

Sorry man, I feel you. Two guys who were very fan friendly, whose presence was very much with the community as a constant, now gone within a very short span of time. It's rough.

Carl Weather's Passes Away, Age 76 www.yahoo.com/entertainment/carl-weathers-rocky-apollo-creed-193636861.htmlMan, this really sucks. Death sucks generally of course. I grew up watching the Rocky movies, and then as a young adult found myself appreciating his performances in Predator, Arrested Development, and more recently The Mandalorian. This dude is iconic, so sorry to see him go. He still looked like he "had it", but we never know what sort of preexisting / underlying medical conditions people may have. May he rest in power.
