Really hoping that some of the people I used to correspond with on Xitter will "get with the program" and move to Bluesky. Talking about you Kaley Cuoco, Annie Potts and Stephen Carpenter (the Grimm one)

I always fascinates me when a character in a TV show set in New York City or LA says they're going to see someone "across town" and ten minutes later, they're there. Have these screenwriters never lived in those cities? NO WAY can one get "across town" in NYC or LA in ten minutes!

HOORAY! Ginger Lynn is doing an OnlyFans show tonight at 5 (Pacific time) and from what I understand, it'll be a walk down (porn) memory lane!

Been watching reruns of Grimm, and I gotta say, that show has THE BEST makeup, special effects and graphic artists of any TV show, EVER!!!!

You know what bugs me about TV/movie scenes where two people are driving somewhere and the driver looks over at the passenger for more than 15 seconds without watching the road. That's a recipe for an accident—and sadly, too many regular drivers emulate that behavior, and they're asking for trouble.

A U.S. Congresswoman disappeared for the last six months of her term. Nobody noticed. Turns out she's in a memory care unit, & her staff (and apparently other people?) covered it up (though she was somehow propped up for an event a month ago?) WILD story

I'm a big fan of actor John Cusack, but what I'd like to see A LOT more of are his sisters Ann and Joan, both fine actors in their own right—and damned good-looking.

On this International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, I say, "FUCK GARY RIDGWAY AND MAY HE BURN IN HELL IF THERE IS ONE!"

A Texas legislator has called for a ban on the sale of "obscene devices" such as vibrators, in any non-adult store, such as CVS. Meaning you'd have to go to a stripclub or porn shop. She calls it "part of a coordinated effort to normalize the sexualization of children" www.khou.com/article/news...

... Or as I like to say, "Rocky Rococo, at your cervix." (Guessing that nobody but another boomer will get that reference.)

Oops, I was wrong. The Sally Starr in The Woman Racket isn't the same person who hosted TV in Philly in the '50s and '60s: www.broadcastpioneers.com/sallystarr.h...

Here's a kicker for ya: When I was a kid living in Philly, I used to watch an afternoon kids show with cartoons and funny movies, all hosted by Sally Starr, who always used to wear a cowgirl outfit. Well, I just saw Sally in a 1930 movie, The Woman Racket, where she plays a singer in a speakeasy!

I very much like Leah Remini on People Puzzler, but often, people answer the crossword clue by beginning "What is..." and Leah has to correct them that "This isn't Jeopardy." So that got me thinking, wouldn't it be cool if Leah was a guest host on Jeopardy?

A quick way for DOGE to cut over $1.3 Trillion in spending: Gun safety laws save $557 billion. Universal healthcare with Medicare for All saves $650 billion. Ending fossil fuel subsidies save $20 billion. Cutting contractor profit from the military budget saves over $80 billion. Start there.

Jeff Tiedrich: "I wish there were a vaccine against stupid." HELL, YEAH! I'd donate a lot to that cause!

I can't help but wonder if the guys who went to see Busby Berkeley musicals in the 1930s were really there to catch a glimpse of the female dancers' crotches... hoping against hope to see some pubic hair?

I don't believe in a God, but shouldn't those who do believe admit that It has to be a transsexual?

Michael Moore once called Donald Trump a “human Molotov cocktail”—Fuckin' A!!!!!!!!!

DIDJA KNOW that America's most famous porn star Ginger Lynn will be doing her show on OnlyFans tonight st 5 p.m.?

Hey, Trump! If you're running short of ideas for passwords... Launch code for US nuclear arsenal was ‘00000000’ until 1977

To the “high road” Democratic leaders who say Biden should pardon Trump, knock it off. What the hell kind of a message do you think that would send? We need to fight autocracy, not flirt with it.

COZI-TV has just started airing Grimm from the beginning, and I'm catching up. I used to follow its creator, Stephen Carpenter, on X, but I hope he decides to start posting here, since I'm never going on X again. (Guess why!)

DOGE is nothing more than two billionaires cosplaying as government officials. I’m all for making government for efficient, but these guys just want to slash resources for agencies that help working people. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Just saw another stellar performance by TV/movie actor Annie Potts, whom I used to follow on X. I've never seen her in a role where she didn't kill it! I hope she decides to switch to bluesky, since I'm relatively sure she doesn't agree with Musk's politics.

The faces in my doctor's office:

You know what I hate? When movies and TV shows show messages on a phone that they expect anyone more than 2 feet from the screen to be able to read. Not all of us have telescopic vision!

And let's not forget, part of Project 2025, which "our" asshole president currently is saying he wants to implement, would be the outlawing of ALL sexually explicit (and probably a lot of softcore too) material.

Any chance it'll be possible to impeach Donny Convict if his picks for cabinet secretaries and others turn out to be as disastrous as they're already shaping up to be?

They have a point.

It's Thanksgiving, so I thought I'd throw my DVDs of "Black Jesus" (2014) on the DVD player. It's a hoot!

Anybody want flight attendants to get paid for ALL the work they do? (Despite what it looks like below, I don't get a penny of this.) chng.it/SSVyk4m4Pf

So there's a "longstanding Justice Department policy that a sitting president cannot face federal criminal prosecution"????? (NY Times) WHAT THE FUCK?????? If he's a criminal, he's a criminal, neither high office nor Justice Dept. withstanding!!!!!!! JAIL THAT FUCKER!!!!!!!

So... I now have the episode of The X Files where they mention Adult Video News in the dialog. What I'm now looking for is the episode that shows a copy of AVN on Mulder's coffee table. Any X File fans know which episode that is?

Just got done watching, for the umpteenth time, the very best porn movie that's not a porn movie, "Inserts," starring Richard Dreyfuss, Veronica Cartwright and Jessica Harper. If well-made erotica attracts you, SEE THIS! (But not the XXX version that came out a few years ago,. That sucked.)

What does the phrase "pretty much exactly" actually mean?

DO NOT delay Donny Convict's sentence for the 34 felonies of which he was convicted FOR ANY REASON! He's a criminal and belongs in prison.

Or as attorney Liz Dye recently wrote, "The Spectacle of an Indicted President Still Trying to Serve as Chief Executive Boggles the Imagination"

Let's not forget, if Trump gets sentenced to prison for his crimes on November 26 and/or if he dies due to his age and/or dementia before taking office, that will leave Vance in charge, and that just might be worse.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WORRIES ME MOST IS THAT WHEN TRUMP DIES IN OFFICE, AS I THINK THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT HE WILL, OR HE'S REMOVED FROM THE PRESIDENCY EITHER BECAUSE OF HIS DEMENTIA OR HIS CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS, VANCE WILL THEN BE PRESIDENT, AND THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE HE'D BE WORSE THAN TRUMP

Shouldn't a person who's been convicted of 34 felonies and is awaiting trial on dozens more be ineligible to be president of the United States???

Hope someone's going to cover all the White House couches with plastic in preparation for January 20.
