Look, I find the trailer for Gerwig's Barbie pretty interesting, but the first dolls were not baby dolls. They were dolls of adult women. I am fully aware that this matters to no one but nerds.

I am instead doing the most important things and then going to buy our holiday wreath at Woodland Gardens, enjoying a sweaty ride on the bike, and watching Yellowjackets.
