Scrubs is a good comparison. It is not a serious look at police work. But if you don't like Andy Sandberg, it would be hard to get into.

Coronavirus : Country readiness
Boris Johnson just went into intensive care. Crazy. I'm also watching Gavin Newsome do a press conference. I think he has been the most aggressive governor in the country on this, and it is going to give him a lot of political equity when this is over. Quite a change in tone watching his press conference compared to the Trump ones.

Brooklyn 99 is hilarious. One of the better comedies currently running.

The Tiger King memes based on that story are off the hook.

I enjoyed 13th Warrior. Antonia Banderas is hard not to like. But I had also read the book beforehand, and I think that made it more engaging to watch. I'm also a sucker for any historical fiction.

We went to the hardware store and asked for tp, and the lady went off to a secret room and got us a 6 pack. It was all very clandestine. I also got a shovel, so that probably looked a bit weird at the checkout.

The drinking thread
Today I engaged in a silent bartering system with the brewery down the street. You put $20 and step away, they put a growler on a counter, and then you take it. It was good, but we drank the whole thing in one night.

Most of the auto shops I know are hurting for work right now, so it's a good time to take it in. For some reason, it seems like half my workout buddies work on cars and the other half work in finance.

The Good News Thread
Funny, I bought a 4-pack of Revision Brewing cans from my local craft beer bar Friday to help support them. It cost me $28.

Q Ball on Netflix is a fantastic watch for anything craving a sports fix. It is a San Quentin prison basketball program that plays against the Warriors.

If it makes you feel better, I just made a current events assignment for my 7th graders out of your post. We've already covered habeas corpus this year, so hopefully this will hit home for them. Hardest part of writing the assignment was not making the stimulus package sound like a blatant payoff for our civil liberties. I mean, I don't mind them making the connection, but I don't want to make it for them.

It really just depends on what the pop culture trends end up being. I mean, we cover a ton of content in school, but people really only retain about 5-10% of that. You need more to really inject it into the public consciousness. For example, Norse Mythology is big right now thanks to the Marvel movies blowing up. Greek mythology just needs that same push to get it out there, and clearly Percy Jackson wasn't a big enough hit.

Tiger King is a pretty crazy documentary on Netflix. I've got one episode left!- The Best Musical or Comedy Drama Action Film thread (THIS IS THE GENERAL MOVIE STUFF THREAD)
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - I loved it. I'm a fan of most Tarantino films, and I was a bit bummed I missed this on the big screen, as I think he is one of the few directors worth watching that way. I remember I was a bit put off by the loose with history approach he took to Inglorious Basterds, but it didn't bother me here. Probably because I was ready for it. Anyways, I'm going to spend this quarantine working on my Brad Pitt physique. Evolution - My daughter and I were perusing end of the world type movies on Netflix, and this popped up. I remember seeing it in theaters in college. It has held up pretty well! - The TV and Streaming thread renewed
