Just flipping down my timeline and glimpsed the pic - I first thought it was Cyndi Lauper... 🤣😂🤣

Every time I see this I am reminded that Ben Kinglsey also played the terrifying Logan in Sexy Beast (2000).

Gee...why not include WWE and MMA shows as well? Crowd demographics seem about right.

Dude needs to go back to making movies with real people.

When you think about it, it's not so weird that Trump constantly refers to America as being "hot" - like you might describe a woman.

I mean, why not? After all - he is trying to fuck us

Joe's timeline doesn't work out (too young) - but not sure why people assume he is confusing measles with chicken pox, and not Rubeola and Rubella - measles with different levels of severity and vaccines developed at different times. Regardless, both were widely available during his early childhood.

Joe can be a dunce, but he may be referring to Rubeola measles, which is different (and more serious) than Rubella (German measles). The former was quite common in the 1960s; a vaccine was developed in 1963, and an improved version in 1968. Recovering from Rubeola does provide lifelong immunity.

Can't imagine what it's like sitting next to him in the booth - at times it's like he's practically screaming into the mic.

I think people around him are just slipping paper in front of this senile old bugger and telling him "this will allow (fill in the blank) and you will get credit" and he just signs off on it right before he dozes off again.

There's a small thermostat dial you can use to turn it down/off. It's just hidden behind that 40oz. bottle of Colt 45 malt liquor you haven't finished yet.

I'm waiting for "NCIS: Topeka" and "Chicago Animal Control."

As an old ad guy - it breaks a lot of rules and is a terrible commercial. A lot of people who have not used an LLM won't get it - the text is too small, moving and too hard to read over the background. Google's Gemini ad with the lost lamb plush toy is brilliant in comparison. Show, don't tell.

Pondered this as I compared the series to "The Civil War" - just shows how far we've come over the past 30+ years. History isn't just about one group of people, it's about ALL people; different groups get affected in different ways. Recognizing this isn't "woke" - it's just telling the whole story.

I wasn't expecting a lot, but found it profoundly introspective and calming. This is the life most people lead; filled with both sadness and beauty - yet fully known only to themselves.

I still get laughs around the house when somebody needs a hand and I sing "HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAAAAAAY.."

My favorite bad guys were the wolves in their zoot suits...
