If anyone wants to step up an argue that the US is not being run by a Mad Emperor who knows his reign is coming to an end in November, I would love to hear it.

In the realm of ideas I have but not time to pursue them: new podcast idea.
I Watched That - I review some of the 3000 or so films I have watched and give my thoughts as well as any personal memories I have of seeing them.
Came to mind as I thought about reviewing all ~25 Bond films.

Took Sally to the vet today. After a lot of time with two vets, they came back to tell us has a cancer mass. It is in place here it is difficult to get a biopsy and surgery would be very hard. Vet gave us options but we asked what he would do.
"Nothing. Give her the best life while she is here."

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.
