Me watching The Slap-Fight of the Nazis:

Mr. Carney, if there was ever a time to rescind the Elongated Muskrat's Canadian citizenship, now is it. Do it and do it as fast as gawd-damn possible. / beyond the obvious reasons for doing so, we definitely do not want Canada getting dragged into the fiasco that's coming...

You'd think a fight between the American president and the world's richest man would be some sort of political thunderdome, but instead it makes Mean Girls seem macho.

You have to love how the stories are changing in real time. At this rate, by the time of his 3am -rrheas, Cheetolini will be fuming that he doesn't even know who this Elon f*cker is...

Providing we survive it all, the one thing I'll have to say forever after to Americans is YOU FCKING RE-ELECTED HIM. You fcking didn't learn your lesson the first time. You chose, CHOSE, to inflict his insanity on yourselves and the world. And you wonder why TROW mocks you as stupid...

It should be bizarre that the unelected body is doing the right thing while the elected body does the worst, or very close to it. What Starmer was thinking here is just despair-inducing.

Good. F*cking good. If there's a greatest thing fundamentally wrong with the (institutional) Democrats, it's that a loss tends to turn them into surrender-monkeys. Imagine what a party with spine and gumption would've done since January...

Maybe my dogged avoidance of ads has affected my perception, but does it seem like Lionsgate is doing precious little to promote BALLERINA-- which, after all, is just a few days from release? Seems... odd. / but nice we get to see Lance Reddick one last time... www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9Rr...

This is so much better-- and more heartening-- than I expected it to be.

Fun-fact: in 2020, the top acting honours at the International Emmy Awards went to Glenda Jackson and Billy Barratt. Jackson was born on June 15, Barratt on June 16-- but just a day shy of 71 years apart. She, the double-Oscar-winning legend, was 84. He was 13.

Well, (NERD ALERT!!!) it does help that the text here isn't verse, it's prose and more flexible to tweaking for modern comprehension-- but I agree on the broader point. It's all about getting one's sea legs with the language, really, and there are ways of helping audiences get them more easily.

You'd think this would be more than enough warning to slam the brakes on AI insanity. But here, in the darkest timeline, we could have an AI go full-on Demon Seed and it'd only get techbros and CEOs to remember how beautiful Julie Christie used to be... www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

And one of the great things about the show was that once Swit had raken so much charge of Houlihan, she would create so many great and often poignant moments not just with Alda, but with Harry Morgan, David Ogden Stiers, Kelleye Nakahara, even William Christopher. And they earned every one of them.

Probably worth adding that in those days, we could get the double-whammy of syndicated shows: the airings on nearby American stations and the airings on Canadian ones. It'd have been quite possible for MAS*H to be on, say, from 4-8pm every weekday on one combo of stations or another...

Oh, damn it... You simply cannot imagine how much MAS*H was on in our house when I was a kid, as Dad pretty much had it on several times a day every day for YEARS. (Easy to forget now how huge it was in syndication.) And Swit was terrific as Margaret Houlihan. RIP.

Most pathetic current TV/movie cliche: some character looking up information online on another and getting "no results" or "did not match any documents," especially if it's something as generic as a name like "Wesley Gibson" or whatnot. Even in 2025, it still hasn't gone away.

Forced myself to get through Prime's OVERCOMPENSATING, and, damn, it was a chore. It's one of those gratingly-twee "oh-FFS-you-can't-be-this-stupid" comedies that makes my skin crawl. Satire is its problem: that's all facile, try-hard and groan-inducing. And the ending... never beg for a S2.

So many more of these "slightly ruin a song" things I want to do, but probably shouldn't... "Hey, That's No Way To Say Auf Wiedersehen" "Pour Some Sucrose On Me" "Moobdance" "She Wore An Itsy-Bitsy-Teeny-Weeny-Yellow-Polka-Dot Mankini" "You've Got An Acquaintance Who Tolerates You Occasionally"

Reminds me of the French 2002 election motto, «Votez escroc, pas facho!» ("Vote for the crook, not the fascist").

Slightly ruin a song title. Thus: "Aquamarine Suede Shoes."

Sometimes, the differences between evil and psychosis are so fine as to be indistinguishable. Sometimes, the two walk hand-in-hand. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I pity these poor children. In 10 years, after so much abuse in the meantime, they'll have to decide what to do with whatever JK's latest pogrom-call. Hell, it might not even take that long... deadline.com/2025/05/hbos...

After the latest episode, I think I'm done with POKER FACE. The tiresome oh-so-quirky shtick has lost all its charm for me and the mysteries are just dismally poor. My patience for it has just gone.

"(McQuarrie wrote the script with Bruce Geller and Erik Jendresen)." Wow, @houstonchronicle.com, pretty damned impressive since Bruce Geller has been dead since 1978... www.houstonchronicle.com/entertainmen...
