I’m old enough to remember that Saddam’s rape rooms were a major Republican selling point for the invasion of Iraq. Just sayin’.

Hey, I dig a classic car as much as the next guy, but the station wagon didn’t die off because of fuel efficiency standards. It died off because consumers moved on to mini vans & SUVs. That Sean Duffy… super in touch with what the common folk want, eh?
Trump Stooge Wants To Bring Back Wood Paneled Station Wagons — And, Oh, The Reactions
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy waxed nostalgic on bringing back gas guzzlers, but social media didn't share his sentiment.

Better this than Skydance, but it still doesn’t sit all that well. Netflix gets the studio and the massive portfolio of IP. The remaining assets become an uber-Discovery incorporating the Turner era cable assets, presumably with Zaslav at the helm.
Netflix agrees to buy Warner Bros. in a $72-billion deal that will transform Hollywood
A theater owner trade group immediately blasted Netflix's $72-billion deal to buy Warner Bros. and HBO. Netflix has long bypassed movie theaters, instead releasing films onto its streaming platform.

Today’s old man rant about stuff that doesn’t matter in the long haul:
Spidey, Black Panther and Loki cavorting with Mickey, Minnie and Goofy on the same parade float just ain’t right.
That being said, Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.

We revisited Carl Franklin’s LA noir “Devil in a Blue Dress” the other night for the first time since its release in 1995. As good as I remembered. It felt even more pointed and urgent due to our current situation, partly because of the film’s MacGuffin. If you know, you know.

I can hardly express how disgusted I am with both the Geisel estate and what’s left of The Who over those Walmart holiday ads. Just bloody awful.

I never believed our situation would deteriorate to the point that Dick Cheney’s death would cause me to feel… absolutely nothing. Rest In Shrug, I guess.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.
