If I didn't already have a Halloween costume, an inflatable frog costume would be my choice this year.

Or Irish Americans? Or the Hispanic-Americans they courted and somehow won over? These "Heritage Americans" would have DIED if it weren't for the people who were here before them.

What SS problem? Being in a jeans commercial? I personally think they "great jeans (genes) refers to her beauty, and not because she's white. The fact that the right latched onto that, shows you what racist dipshits THEY are.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

AMERICANA is a pretty darn good film...great first film by a long time writer of some of my favorite shows (Poker Face, Longmire). Highly recommend. And not just because it has Zahn McClarnon in it.

Not ONLY permission, but $$moolah$$. I mean, many many artists barely scrape by...have to get jobs to support them making art. And now these people, with no artistic talent, want to steal that art so they can then monetize it themselves.

Yeah, that tracks with big business and capitalism.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

I mean, they want me to get THEIR permission and give them $$ if I use images of big studio properties on t-shirts and jammies.

We all wanted Trump to be more pro-woman; we just didn't expect that woman to be Ghislaine Maxwell

What I don't get is that Trump is, like, the GOP world's "Steve Rogers," "Capt. America." Their charismatic guiding light. They hear him speak and get energized.

I listen and only hear the ramblings of a narcissistic buffoon...barely intelligent enough to communicate. Can't complete a sentence.

I like so many UK shows that I want to visit the area. Vera, Lovejoy...and really that cove where Doc Martin was filmed.

Yes!! I was glad to have found that on BritBox

All in the Family was a lesson in how racism and bigotry can make people angry and miserable. Great clip from Carol O'Connor describing his character Archie Bunker

MAGA exists in some complete alternate reality where their dementia-brains see things that NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD sees. But their hive-mind imagination has them all convinced they are seeing things that are not there.

It is? Name a street or intersection, that is not that one block strip that contains the building housing ICE, and I will have one of my half dozen friends, my brother, my daughter, go there and film it...to show you that Portland is, in fact, NOT burning to the ground.

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

Hetty Wainthropp. Autocorrect!

After Patricia Rutledge passed, I found a show she did after KEEPING UP APPEARANCES…”Hetty Winthrop Investigates.” Her in a serious role is an odd thing. It also stars as her assistant, a very young Dominic Monahan in his second screen role. Not long before he became famous as a hobbit.

I remember this! Because the first time I saw that movie was on TV. Then, years later, rented it with friends and was like, "Wait...this movie is WAY different than I remember it." It was bizarre

Sad news...Dame Patricia Rougledge has passed. I'm a huge fan of KEEPING UP APPEARANCES, and she also appeared in TO SIR, WITH LOVE alongside Sidney Poitier. .

In Heaven now, telling Jesus to "mind the lady on the sidewalk."

She also starred in Alan Bennett's TV monologues and played the BBC's amateur sleuth Hetty Wainthropp.
