Recently been binging "The Leftovers". Yeah, it's one of those shows I missed by a few years. LOL. Just starting season 3 now. Anyone else watch this? Any thoughts? I'm interested to see where this whole mindbending rapture/apocalypse storyline is going. What are you watching, reading, playing? Tell us about what you enjoy, even if it isn't an entertainment-related activity. Let's bond over the things we like!

What are you watching right now? I just discovered "My Life is Murder" and haven't even finished the first episode. Also been watching "The Leftovers". What show, movies or other things are you catching up on or re-watching right now?

My dear initiates. It is Sunday. What are you doing away from Skool and the internet today? Tell us about it. What are your plans? No plans? Here’s your assignment. As you may be aware, I am rolled up in a blanket on my couch, seeping strange colored fluids from places that fluids shouldn’t be leaking. Your assignment is to go out into the real world and bring me back news of the outside world. Are people still fighting over the Starbucks bear mug? Is the sky still there? How many floofy animals did you encounter? Are roving packs of wild dogs now seizing control of the supply chain system? Go forth and tell me about the outside world! Fly my monkeys, fly!
