Rantings of a simpleton; often profane, always inane. Opinons expressed here are the product of my warped mind, and are not endorsed by anybody else. I carp a lot about politics. You’ll also see photos of my dog and I’ll yak about Star Trek.

Just a quick correction - RFK, Jr. was actually admitted to the New York bar in 1985, so he technically is an attorney.
(I know, I didn’t want it to be true either, alas…)

Elon? Human? Pfft, Zuckerbot would have an easier time proving his humanity than Musk.

I’d like a crossover. Can we see Seth McFarlane’s Spawn, and maybe Todd McFarlane’s Family Guy?

The campfire scenes are truly great, and Jerry Goldsmith’s score positively soars. That said, the script is underbaked, the effects are abysmally amateurish, and the story absolutely betrays Sulu, Chekov, Uhura, and Scotty.
So it’s a mixed bag for me.

Mark my words, this show is going to have viewership numbers that in no way justify its ludicrous price tag.
Cancelled after one season, I’m betting.
And hoping.

I bought some blank Betamax tapes back in the mid-nineties and it practically felt like I had unearthed the Ark of the Covenant. This is next level, given that the last VCR ever was made in 2016. Well done.

Well, yeah, absolutely. So long as the money goes to him, he doesn’t care where it comes from. But he’s so dumb and easily baited, it probably wouldn’t be hard to get him to publicly admit that Citizens United should be overturned.

Maybe we can get the orange menace to support overturning Citizens United?

Update: the Secretary of Education also doesn’t know a thing about the Tulsa Massacre or who Ruby Bridges was. I wish I was surprised.

And all of those ships are…wait for it…John Lewis-class fleet oilers.
They’re not even trying to hide the racism and misogyny anymore.

100% would eat. And would also hang out with grandma - she seems pretty fly.

“But I didn’t vote for THAT” seems to be a common refrain among Republicans these days.
Yes you did. You may not have educated yourself on the issues, but you definitely voted for it.

I stand corrected. They indeed are not Frenchies, they’re Belgies.

True story! His duet album with Stevie Ray Vaughan gives me chills every time.

She could have retired quietly and enjoyed her zillions, but no. She had to show the world her true colors and flush her legacy down the crapper. She is a vile person.

“Born Under a Bad Sign” is one of the greatest blues albums of all time.

Plus, the Secretary of Defense thinks it’s ok to use an unsecure app to discuss SCIF-level military activities, sometimes with journalists.
The Secretary of HHS is a vaccine-denying conspiracy theorist heroin addict.
The Attorney General thinks the 2020 election was stolen.
We’re so fucked.

The Smurves are French, so really they’re Schtroumpfs. Or Schtroumpfen. Or Schtroumpves. Je ne parle pas français.

Fuck’s sake, I’ll settle for someone pathetically mediocre at this point. I don’t think governance by vacuous assholes was quite what the founders had in mind.

I’m quite glad Adam is Adam. He’s better at being Adam Lambert than anybody else. And I happen to be a big fan of Adam and the way he is unapologetically himself.
He just happens to look a lot like George Michael these days. Which, again, is a compliment. They’re both really handsome dudes.

Maybe not what you wanted, but definitely what you voted for.
