Happy Independence Day!

Remember, this is the day a flea bitten group of committed and strong willed scoundrels fought off the evil Empire in a way that only the best and brightest of a teddy bear race could, so thank you Ewoks, for your service in the fight of the Battle of Endor.

Sinners! There are no words. Just get your ass to a cinema right now! If you’re lucky enough to see it on 70mm or IMAX you are so lucky.

I went to see it at:
The Times Cinema down the street. g.co/kgs/YCJPYsu

It felt like seeing a movie in 1987. So moved by the experience.

Went to see Jack White at the Salt Shed in Chicago with my Son! It was a birthday present from him and my Wife. What a fantastic performer JW is. Unbelievable guitar work! The man from Detroit sounds like there’s three of him on stage! Loved it!

So I’ve been thinking a lot about “Trump derangement syndrome.” Over the last 4 or 5 days. And it occurs to me that, sure, it’s good branding. Stick it to the libs, see, they’re deranged…ha ha ha.

We have a saying…

“You means I.” It’s projection.

Believing his shite!

Who’s deranged now?

Tesla is an American car company with thousands of Americans working there, so honor your fiduciary duty and resign. You’re hurting what was an innovative leader in the field. Get out of the way and do what’s best for everyone at the company, the owners of the cars, and the climate. Go Elon go.

Grrrr. I wish the Regressives would get a spine and fix this BS house “legislative day” and correct the imaginary emergency. The real emergency is in the White House destroying our nation, or economy, and probably our democracy. #Wharton is a farce. Do they even have a class that explains tariffs?

Can we just have Kennedy get measles and have him take all of his ridiculous fringe sudo-science ideas and televise his experience. Or has he been vaccinated?!? Either way, pretty sure he’s a flat Earther.

Wow! Crushed by the news of Viktor Antonov’s passing. Recently replayed through the dishonored series and I’ve never had so much professional envy. I had the privilege of working in the HL universe and adored his city 17 visuals. What a loss for the entire industry. My thoughts are with his family.

Start at 15:58. Powerful words for a crisis in leadership today. His words are about leadership in general but will help anyone who fears our current crop of leadership. Or lack there of. It might just help right now, religion aside.

Attended my Brother In laws church, Waterfront Church DC. Pastor Zach Randles had some excellent perspective on leadership and standing up for what is right, especially in this current crisis in leadership in DC. Decide for yourself @15:58 in this clip of his service. Religion aside, strong words!

I’m really impressed with how Bluesky has limits on hate speech and misinformation.

Thank you for creating a place that limits trolls.

We’ve got enough spaces for them online and IRL.

The false narrative of liberal media doesn’t hold a candle to the Sinclair, Murdoch, Musk consortium.

Aye the Dawes concert at the Salt Shed in Chicago!

Right now @wbleague.bsky.social are on the stage!

Earlier we went to the sound check for Dawes.

Hello World.

I was never a great fan of Twitter and so now I will give Bluesky a try.

My intention is to talk about Video Games, Books, Film, Television, and potentially politics.

I’m glad the great migration has begun.
