Still three weeks left to go in 2020, what else could happen?

□ [“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are Time Magazine’s 2020 Person of the Year"]

You think that's a good idea?  They represent all the violence and destruction that's gone on since January?  They represent all the dictators of cities and states ignoring their own rules like, well, Democrats have been doing?

Most states are now on one side or another with the upcoming Supreme Court battle.  24 support the Texas lawsuit, 17 support the voter fraudsters.  This comes up from the state attorney generals - I think some legislators are making statements as well - so when will it come down to individual people?

The evidence is all on one side - 174,000 fake votes have been found in one Michigan county! - but will the court go for it?  Apparently not, I just found they've rejected it.  I haven't trusted the courts on this and obviously I was right.  What now?

□ [“Harrison Ford to reprise Indiana Jones role for fifth and final movie"]

What the hell is this for?  He's 78 years old now, that's not how to do Indiana Jones, 12 years younger than Sean Connery who played his father.  The only way it could remotely work if it's basically a cartoon, all special effects, no real people involved.

I've never understood why Ford claimed to like Indy so much.  Sure, he's a fun adventure character but so is Han Solo and Ford absolutely didn't like him.  Neither of them have much personality beyond being the Hero (or in Han's case, the smuggler) and they both get into similar scenarios.  The only thing I can think of is that Ford's just not interested in that kind of space fantasy, he'd prefer movies that are more basic.

Even that's speculation, I assume he grew up seeing things like Buck Rogers.  Perhaps filming Star Wars was really not fun for him or being the star in Indiana Jones made it different or the reaction fans had to each role.  But he's only been Indy once in the last 30 years, now he wants to do it again?  He needed large paychecks to play Han more than once ever and has done that twice in the last decade.
