Odd music, old movies, avian friends. FOT.
Just did the math, and my Christmas music collection includes 244 vinyl LPs, 278 7" 45 r.p.m. singles and 276 compact discs, plus five Hanukkah CDs.

Help me.

Up late last night enjoying the excellent new hockey romance series “Heated Rivalry”. So good! For adults! Ilya + Shane! In Canada, it’s on Crave; Americans and Australians have it on HBO Max; Neon in New Zealand & Movistar Plus+ in Spain.

In November 1983, Toy “R” Us sent out this pre-Christmas sale circular. It is filled with all the great toys that would make 1983 such a memorable year. So let’s take a look at what you might have received for Christmas in 1983.

St. Paul cops doing the Stasi thing.

So brave in their tactical gear, braving the well-informed homeowner.

That would have been an interesting arrest and breach of rights. I can hear the judge reading off a litany of constitutional infringements, and then, imagine the ensuing civil suit.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”

“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
‘Brazil is not her home.’ Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, brought to US as child, detained by ICE. - The Boston Globe
Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.

A friend of mine sent me a link to the Department of Homeland Security website's personnel directory, and said to scroll down to the name of the Chief Security Officer (acting).

Parents can be so cruel.

Or was this a parting gift from a disgruntled DOGEbag?

As you might expect, @mackinnonart.bsky.social knocked it out of the park with this tribute to #ColleenJones from his back pages, and the story of her asking for his autograph is the icing on the cake.

Find someone who looks at you like Tulip the Beaver looks at her plushie.
Tulip the beaver loves the Tulip the beaver plushie the way I love my chicken plushie.

Is this the kind of video you’d like as a mental break from stressful news over the next couple months or do you prefer educational clips, funny sketches, or artistic creations? ⬇️

My vet sister sent me a video of the horrifying and hilarious blood rocker from her work.

Very sad to hear, I got to tag along on assignment with Colleen as a j-school intern at CBC, and she was happy to have me along, with lots of helpful tips. She also helped schlep camera gear, a team player all the way. We met lots after that, but I always remember her kindness to this student.

Italian poster for BLOOD FOR DRACULA (1974)

Written and directed by Paul Morrissey

Starring Udo Kier (RIP)
November 24, 2025 at 1:30 AM
I recall Udo was filming something in Nova Scotia, and a friend ran into him at Park Lane Mall. I've rarely been so insanely jealous, one of my all-time fave character actors. Wish I'd met him to tell him how much I've loved his work.
We’re crushed to hear the news that the great Udo Kier has passed at the age of 81. As iconic as he was prolific, Kier’s contributions to the genre span nearly 300 screen credits, from BLOOD FOR DRACULA to BACURAU and beyond. Our condolences go out to his friends, family and legions of fans.

Gotta respect this Burger King's ability to play the worst country music imaginable to ensure nobody wants to hog a booth for longer than 15 minutes.
