Sometimes you don't really know what you're in the mood for but then you find a movie called Trucks and realize you're in the mood to watch Trucks.

Oh man. Started to float into the air and honestly thought I'd got Raptured but I'd just smelled a cartoon pie on a windowsill.

David Letterman on his career mocking presidents: “Beating up on these people, rightly or wrongly, accurately or perhaps inaccurately, in the name of comedy—not once were we squeezed by anyone from any governmental agency, let alone the dreaded FCC.”

There was a lot of this when that movie came out. The one I heard most was “would sleep with Redford for a million dollars” and the answer was “if I had the money, yes”
I read someplace that when INDECENT PROPOSAL came out a TV reporter, outraged at the concept, did some vox pops outside the theater, asking a woman "Would you sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars?!" Only the woman without hesitation replied "I'd sleep with Robert Redford for fifty cents."

My #1 favorite episode. 💔
Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did
I haven’t seen one news channel show a clip of him speaking in the last 4 hours

it must be so easy and freeing to think of politics as an academic discourse that does not effect you or anyone you know ever

Remembering a conversation I once had with the late great Bryant Frazer:
Me: "You know what the best Blondie cover is?"
Him: "Is it the Alvin and the Chipmunks version of Call Me at half-speed?"
It was.

It fucks me up that the youths have latched onto "Tubthumping" as the defining song of the '90s/Late 20th Century. Makes me wonder what the boomers feel was misrepresented by my generation.

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

One of the only interesting things about AI is finding out how many people in supposedly highly skilled, important jobs are complete fuckwits. Not just kinda stupid, but the level of stupid where they're the reason why we have the "remove cellophane before eating" warnings on Fruit Roll-Ups.
