Show Notes:

• Morbius discussion 
• A new Firestarter movie?
• Hermione Granger and race - I looked it up, there was a controversy because of a stage play in the Potterverse where the Hermione actress was dark-skinned and people blew up. Rowling just said she was the best choice for the job. In the books, there's not (apparently) a specific statement of race, but cover art and original casting was all decided by Rowling and it was pretty much concluded that Hermione is light skinned in the books, and speculated that a non-light-skinned actress was cast in the play as a calculated decision by Rowling for public appeal.
• Union busting (Amazon/Starbucks discussion)
• "Metaverse"
• Because "trust" is stupid, and you're a product, and your information is for-profit (and for-spying)
• Bird murders motorcycle driver
• Applebees exec fired for saying the quiet part out loud
• Baskin Robbins PR release (every @#$% article is the same @#$% stuff)
