- No wonder Lauren Boebert believes people could only have been sickened from intentional carelessness at a facility. She has significant experience with that, poisoning people herself at her failed restaurant with tainted pork sliders.
- “We have to lead our viewers, which is not as easy as it might seem,” Rupert Murdoch told a Fox board member, admitting the network’s slogan of “We report. You decide.” was a complete farce.
- By forbidding drag shows, Republicans want to eliminate a form of entertainment that pre-dates Roman civilization. It would make performances of musicals like the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Kinky Boots” illegal. Movie theaters and broadcasters could not show the Tony Curtis/Marilyn Monroe classic “Some Like It Hot.”
- Banning treatment, including mental health therapy, for trans kids will lead to fewer trans kids. …thanks to suicide. That’s what Republicans really want.
- Dagwood really married up. Dilbert’s a whiny idiot (as is his creator), but Dag is a hard-ish working Everyman with a smokin’ hot cartoon wife. (And she’s reportedly a helluva cook.)
- Funny how those outraged conservatives who cried a CNN commentator gave Hillary Clinton debate questions–in fact, the journalist (who, not incidentally, was later fired by the network for the appearance of impropriety) didn’t give a question, just a potential topic–are now silent on Murdoch, the owner of the conservative propaganda network, gave the Trump campaign proprietary Biden campaign information AND debate strategy.
- I’m a little shocked that with the current fad of remaking 1960s and -70s television shows, “The Partridge Family” hasn’t been slotted for a film date. Any group of highly-diverse Disney kids could play the children, with some teeny-bop star taking on Keith–or Keitherine (?). Faith Hill would be a great Shirley, but who to play Reuben? Ru Paul?
- Prediction: some right-wing advocacy group will sue MSNBC in the next year in an attempt to get their emails and text messages, thinking they’ll get a “bombshell” like Murdoch, Hannity, Ingraham et al admitting they were lying to their audience. They will not succeed.
- I understand why novels like Treasure Island were popular in their day: people rarely traveled, let alone traveled on the sea. Their message is dated, unlike the revenge storyline of The Count of Monte Cristo, which is timeless.
- Republicans think Pete Buttigieg should be impeached because a privately-owned railroad company ignored the advice of its own safety team, sending a train with too many cars, on a stretch of track the company owns, using unsafe practices it lobbied for (and was awarded during the last administration) and advising engineers to ignore safety protocols, leading to an environmental disaster, because private companies are the answer to government overreach, right? That’s why Pete Buttigieg should be impeached.
- I studied a lot of German in my school days, and picked up just a hair of French. Dipping into foreign languages, even ones I’m not familiar with, puts me in a creative headspace of examining how I write things thanks to the differences in grammar, idioms, and vocabulary usage.
- All those things I mockingly said were as fun as a root canal? I’m about to find out.
- I’m part of the club hoping Kyle Rittenhouse’s victims and their families wring every dollar that man will earn from everything other than a skilled labor job he should take. He is no hero, and he should not profit off the murder and assault of people as he tried to become one. (Yeah, I know he wasn’t convicted, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t. Think not? Ask OJ.)
- I hope the American Film Institute or the ACLU will sponsor a family matinee presentation of “Some Like It Hot” and invite DeSantis to shut down the show. Let’s get this idiocy into the courts ASAP. And let’s see DeSantis take on AMC or TNT for broadcasting a movie like “Victor/Victoria.”
- If Disney “imagined” him as a Dwarf, his name would be Smug.
- If you expected shrimp salad and instead you got lobster, roll with it, please. Don’t make a fuss because they don’t have exactly what you want, particularly when they try to compensate with a more luxurious option.
- When it comes to Beatles albums, I prefer early ones like Rubber Soul to later offerings like Yellow Submarine. And yes, Sgt. Peppers is their best album. I would not say, however, it’s the best album of the rock era, but I will say it’s the most influential.
- This week at NatZero has been challenging as both Spartan and I had busy schedules, but we sandwiched in posting when we could. We thank you for your patience and support.
- It’s CXI: RtF! Cue David Caruso gif! …oh… it’s an “S”, you say, not an “X”. Well, we don’t stand on formalities here.
