Black Adam {2022}

Not impressed. It was so bad that I was expecting Sylvester Stallone to do a guest cameo. Far too long, they needed to leave a lot more on the cutting room floor.

TNF sucks-adverts on Amazon Prime?

WTF? After paying my annual bill for Amazon video streaming, I still have to watch just as many commercials as if this was on a network.

First world problems.

Bullet Train with Brad Pitt

This was the all time bloodiest movie I have ever seen. It makes Kill Bill seem tame in comparison. Yet it was also a good comedy set the same time.

Many great cameos, too.

AM radio may not be in your next car

I feel so bad for the RW media that had plagued the AM band for the last 30 years.

The New York Times: In a Future Filled With Electric Cars, AM Radio May Be Left Behind.

We are watching history

In my lifetime, I have seen and been part of many historic happenings. I can remember the Berlin Wall coming down, and the end of the USSR. I can remember shaking President Nixon's hand, then hearing him step down from office a year later. I was there for the beginning of the end of the GOP - when the "Great Communicator" first ran for the presidency. I can still remember my sense of absolute stupidity at Bush Sr.s "1000 points of light" and the bullshit of the "compassionate conservative" doctrine. I remember my wife getting me up early one weekend to watch Princess Diana get married. Then I was appalled at the lies Baby Bush fed us so he could go to war with Saddam Hussein. Then there was 9-11.

Now I'm here to see the final death rattle of the GOP as DFT trots out another loser round. I think I will still be here to witness the end of Putin's Russia and the financial collapse of the PRC.

What other historic moments have you experienced?

Pence on NBC - what a weak limp POS

This clown has no spine.
Never did.
Never will.

Who the hell would ever vote for him?

Latest GOP tactic

I just got a text from someone claiming to be a Dem, and suggesting that I hand in my ballot at an address almost 180 miles away. Fuck that, I already turned mine in at the fire station 2 miles away.

I turned in my vote today!

Voted straight Dems all throughout. In some cases, the only candidate was a repuke, and I left those blank. Same for all the local judges who proclaim themselves "non-partisan", just left those empty.

Prime Video - Dog

It's described as a comedy, but it's rather dark. Really, it's a story about two war vets that are trying to find their way in a world they don't understand any more. They take a road trip together and find??
Watch it, it's redeeming.
