Wonderful actress. Loved her in Dobie Gillis as well as Patty Duke.

Someone needs to start collecting cassette copies of In Got We Trust, Inc and see what people taped over the B Side.

I've said this for years but I've not got the means to do so

It is indeed. And he kicked my ass the last time I played. Why, Paul, why?!

Holding out for that jumbo can of Saints Flow, but yeah, these are perfect.

An anthropomorphic King Kong-sized can of toxic purple energy drink Saints Flow attempts to murder me in Saints Row IV. Why did Pierce endorse this shit?

ALSO WE WILL TAKE RIGHTS AWAY FROM TRANS PEOPLE, KIDS ESPECIALLY, AND A LOT OF ALLEGED ALLIES WILL EITHER IGNORE IT OR YELL AT ANYONE WHO POINTS IT OUT BECAUSE THEY’RE PERFECTLY HAPPY TO TRADE TRANS RIGHTS AWAY IN EXCHANGE FOR DANK POLITICAL MEMES -GCN

This is exciting music and it has more than a million views after less than a day but ya know, it's not from the U.S. so it's probably not on a lotta radars here. Def watching the rise of Simiran Kaur Dhadli www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0wT...

That episode is fantastic--so funny and very moving! Not a week goes by without at least one "What are you gonna do?" in our household. That whole series was so bizarre and wonderful and this may be the very best episode--happy 8th!

If you see this, post a pic from your device with no explanation

TV host Johnny Carson eats Alpo out of a bowl on a floor of thick green shag carpet, at the feet of his longtime sidekick Ed McMahon. I described it, but I can't explain it.

I'm not saying I'm dumb, but I just turned up the volume during a Marcel Marceau sketch.

Famed French mime Marcel Marceau appears on the Flip Wilson Show circa 1973. Doing, predictably, a silent sketch. Which I attempted to turn up the volume while watching. There was no sound. He is a mime.

If you folks will excuse me I need to get into my medbed

I love this show more than life itself but every now and then I wonder how Linda Flynn-Fletcher survived Phineas' birth.

Yeah, there are episodes I like a lot. But some I hate and many are just meh. As a QL fan I expected to love Bakula in Trek and I just...didn't. His performance is so flat and humorless. I agree it was improving & I would have enjoyed seeing where they took it with additional seasons.

If you're feeling hopeless, I can't argue.

But Mark Hollis' self-titled album might get you through today.

every trans person I've spoken to is feeling the Drag Down right now. not everybody has fallen into despair but we're all feeling it creeping in around the edges, doing our best to fight it. things are bad. if you know a trans person, look after them.

Also the first Klingon they introduced was named "Klaang". Say it three times and Judy Garland rides in on a trolley.

This show lost me about 10 minutes into the first episode when the heroic Captain loudly/belligerently threatened to knock a woman on her ass. I later watched them all, some good, some bad, but that "hey, what if George W. Bush made a Star Trek" vibe is pretty consistent. Theme song is a war crime.

Happy anniversary to #StarTrekEnterprise, which premiered on this day in 2001 with "Broken Bow," which took place 100 years before the events of The Original Series. Created by Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, it showed humanity's first foray into the final frontier. Were you watching?

It's a classic! The background-acting debut film appearance (if I remember correctly) of my pal @jamesurbaniak.bsky.social!

I should have gone out with bolt cutters or whatever and stolen this entire thing and framed it.

Graffiti over a "hey, go left or right here, not straight or you'll die" street sign says "Penis Man" (or possibly stylized as "PEN15MAN" which may just be his password)
