Having a kid’s backpack flagged for extra screening at LAX only to find out the flummoxing object was her paperback book (as stated by the screening agents) is quite the commentary on America’s current troubles. Is it too on the nose that this is the book?

When you realise that Paw Patrol episodes have the same naming structure as Always Sunny In Philadelphia and can't unsee it.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

It shouldn't be lost among all the war criming what a massive dork Hegseth is. "Kinetic Strikes" and "Battle Rhythm" are terms from a fad workout program in the late 90s whose founder eventually went to jail for tax fraud.

Trump just announces the US will be running Venezuela now, until the can do a "safe, proper, and judicious" transfer of power. Announcing an occupation before you've occupied a country is a new one.

I see a lot of peaceniks weighing in on today's news, and I'd like to remind them that:
1. Papagallo was not democratically elected and continues to selfishly hoard guzzaline.
2. Everyone in the compound was offered safe passage across the wasteland.
3. The Lord Humungous will restore order.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

So the plan is Don Jr. and Eric Trump corner the market to become the biggest drug cartel in the Western hemisphere.
CIA controls production, the US military kills the competition with Hellfire missiles, CBP controls drug routes into and out of the US, and ICE raids the local distributors?

There’s an epidemic of people using Grok to do sexual violence to women on Twitter.
Yet Canadian politicians, media etc have failed to adopt another platform en masse, making it near-impossible to fully disengage and be tapped in to vital conversations and information.

As of today, I am a FULL professor. I do not care much for occupational status markers. Still, it is not lost on me that only 2% of full professors are Black women. This goes beyond personal accomplishment. It is a responsibility to do as much as I can for others. That is exactly what I aim to do.

I hadn't realised that today is the anniversary of Basil Dearden's birth but, needing a silly side-project I've decided to watch the man's entire filmography this year. Are there better directors? Well, yes. But I don't think there's a better way to understand the British Film Industry of old.

I seem to have made it to New Year's without seeing a single poat where someone makes a joke about a sci-fi film and includes inaccurate claims about it taking place in our current spot on the Calendar.
