Trying to make neat stuff since the 70’s and mostly failing. It’s a process.
Thanos was right.

Hoak or Hoke?

Did he drive Miss Daisy to the moon — in the nice trip for a Sunday way (not the threat of domestic abuse from Ralph Kramden way)?

Wait, the Kramdens were in The “Honeymooners”. HoneyMOONers!

…and Stanley Kubrick liked that show!

Have I uncovered the real conspiracy!

The brilliance of sound design is that I can always hear the Great Owl’s particular sound effects whenever he’s mentioned.

Also, The Secret of NIMH is a forever-classic film. One of the first animated films to affect me emotionally. Love it to bits.

It’s definitely the new boss of the disregarded diseases.

“It’s *just* the flu. I’ll take a COLD med and go to work anyway.”

Soon, it’ll be *just* COVID.

Well, I made it through half a century anyway. Who am I to complain?

True. And it’s the nicest “ice cold” thing which we can recall happening in the Soviet Union during WWII.

Stalin’s merciless brutality extended past his direct actions against the Germans. His people suffered a great deal — sometimes at his hands.

It helped win the war but … yikes, Joey. Yikes.

Eh, I’m gonna go ahead and dispute the “X not Y stopped Hitler” claims with a reminder that a multi-front war (and the man’s own military hubris) was a collective and necessary effort. Victories over logistic territories also set the stage for defeat.

No single nation toppled the Third Reich.

It is not, according to the police website listed upthread. Although 2023 figures may still lag a tiny bit due to dates of reporting.

A group of geese is a gaggle.

A group of Canada geese is a mob. Don’t mess with the mob.

Yeee-ikes!

Oh, you!

…and that whole fiasco feels like a lifetime ago. Yikes. Yeee-ikes.

(Well, that GIF didn’t work out. Google is sabotaging me. And I’m not being paranoid! Everyone keeps saying that … which proves it’s a conspiracy!)

Bahaha! And this is how my week starts. Coffee and a raunchy comic book joke by Gail Simone.

There have been worse starts.

I love Olivia Rodrigo’s work so far, it’s super-nostalgic (esp. Hope Ur OK). Unfortunately, the sound mix overpowered her tonight.

But you go, girl! It’s just the beginning of your career.

Although, I must admit Miley Cyrus did channel some Tina and Celine for her performance. Big hair, bright lights, boss attitude.

Credit where it’s due.

I respect your opinion. There’s no accounting for taste and music is a subjective experience.

But we’re fighting now.

The microdosings will continue until morale improves.

They will of course use those tokens as currency in their wagers during the real-death Hunger Games of the 2030s.

That’s hard to believe. He seems so stable and compassionate.

Pink Floyd is still dope regardless of their era of prominence.

The line must be drawn, here! This far! No farther!
