Thinking about Big Bertha, the world's oldest cow from County Kerry, who died just before her 49th birthday after calving 39 times over her life (another record) - she also raised thousands for charity, lead the St. Patrick's parade in Sneem, and had her birthday and wake in a local pub

What makes this work is that "Spocko" legitimately sounds like it could be a 1920s anti-italian slur
The only thing that comes close to topping Spock being called “Spocko” is when he’s referred to as “Mr. Sock” in “Strange New Worlds.” #TOSSatNight

New Rumor States Marvel Studios is Hoping to See Robert Downey Jr. Continue to Play Doctor Doom After SECRET WARS
Robert Downey Jr. is kind of the godfather of the MCU. He starred in Iron Man (2008), the first film to kick it off, and was a mainstay in nearly every Marvel movie after until Avengers: Endgame (2019),...

Just now learning there’s a play about Thomas More that Shakespeare is believed to have contributed to (it had many writers.) Don’t think this was in my big omnibook of the Plays. Anyway McKellen Knows His Stuff
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Lenin predicted Robert mueller
The Liberals have been accustomed to console themselves with constitutional illusions and phrases about the rule of law, and close their eyes to the real relation of forces, to the class struggle.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.
