Out of the Blue

Well, Daylight Saving Time arrived here in the wee hours of the morning, making them even more wee (weeer?). I'm already on record repeatedly on the topic... I don't hate DST, I just hate the switching, and I'd love to leave the clocks where they currently stand. Oh well, I don't think anyone's really asking me.

R.I.P.: Joni Sledge of vocal group Sister Sledge dies.

Timely Links: Thanks Ant and Acleacius.
Science: Proof Daylight Saving Time Is Dumb, Dangerous, and Costly.
Media: WONDER WOMAN - Official Origin Trailer.

Yeah, how can anyone have an issue with Chris Pine? Maybe you hate the new Star Treks, but he isn't at fault there. He was an unknown who needed work.

But in other roles? He was great in Hell or High Water, and he utterly destroyed in Wet Hot American Summer the prequel series. Hard not to love him after that.

Looks pretty good...except for Chris Pine.

Better than Gal Gadot. She may look pretty, but she has so far demonstrated no personality or acting ability in BvS or these trailers.

I have to say, I don't know if it is because they have "better" characters or what, but Marvel has been kicking DC's butt in the movie venue. Seems weird to me that one would be so much better than the other...

Arizona doesn't seem to suffer an ill effects from not having DST.

I totally agree Blue. I don't care if they pick standard or daylight savings -- but bloody pick one and stop flopping back and forth. One of the most ridiculous things in our modern existence.

How is this still a thing?
