I don't recall google news serving up press releases directly from government agencies prior to this administration. It's all misinformation and propaganda.

A black and white close up photo of Paul Bearer of Sheet Terror with a quote that says "The whole 'Conservatism Is The New Punk' thought is a fucking travesty, and a sad joke. I don't want to hear about how you've 'grown up, and have kids and a mortgage.' You don't eat shit just because the toilet's closer than the fridge." - Paul Bearer, Sheer Terror

The #Commanders loss yesterday felt like as clear a case of coaching failure as I've ever seen. Each of those turnovers should have been the type of thing that the players should have drilled to avoid.
The players have talent, but they need coaching to avoid mistakes.

A two-page story, which may be a lost chapter was recently found "among the belongings of the former head of the Gambino New York crime family Paul Castellano."

Castellano was assassinated by John Gotti in 1985.

Night 13 of #31NightsOfHalloween :
Beetlejuice (1988) directed by Tim Burton, starring Michael Keaton, Geena Davis, and Alec Baldwin. Such a delight. Burton's sensibilities never matched a film as well, before or since. He gives Keaton just enough leash to go wild.

Science Fiction Horror is more of a genre than Science Fiction Fantasy. The former pairing are much more compatible thematically and intellectually than the latter.

Every ad for AI products is aimed at idiots and assholes. Clueless people who seem unable to open their eyes and see the world in front of them.

If that's how they see their customers, fuck them.

Whatever happened to turn Marjorie Taylor Greene around is the very reason I don't hate living people. As long as they're alive they can have a change of perspective. A Saul on the road to Damascus moment. A visitation by three spirits.

Only the dead can't change.

The Trump Administration, for all their noise and bluster and fuckwittery, are just bad at governing.

And their voters are being carried out to sea.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Cena seems like a good guy. I bet he's fun to work with. But this isn't a show that needed to be made. It reminds me of Agents of Shield which never knew what it wanted to be other than a vehicle for the likable Clark Gregg.

Not enough here to warrant the time.

It is a mixed bag of a show. The comedy is not that funny and the drama is not that dramatic. There's a lot of "adult" content that seems gratuitous because it's on HBO. Feels like a lot of ham-fisted improv riffs that don't land.

I completed a binge of PEACEMAKER.
If you look at the first two seasons as one arc, it's not terrible. It takes Cena's Peacemaker, Chris Smith from a caricature of a minor DC bit part to a more fully dimensional caricature of a minor DC bit part.
I think Gunn was better off with Marvel's restraints.
