All you need to know about American politics is Congress was a more serious institution when Cooter and Gopher were members than it is now.

A 4K restoration of Amando de Ossorio's 3rd Blind Dead film "Ghost Galleon" is coming out. It's an old favorite I happened to watch last night on an English-friendly Spanish import Blu-ray. I'm tempted to upgrade, but I don't think the toy boat would be served well by 4K.

You're concerned about sound and starfighters dogfighting in the vacuum of space. I'm concerned about giant herbivores based on Earth megafauna consuming enough calories to survive on a desert planet with no grasslands on which to graze. We are not the same.

Watched 2 DC Showcase Animated Shorts: Kamadi & Blue Beetle. Kamadi is played straight. Blue Beetle (which co-stars Question, Capt. Atom, & Nightshade) is played for laughs. Kamandi gives Kirby a "created by" credit. Blue Beetle doesn't credit Steve Ditko. The disrespect is appalling.

Well, I've seen the trailer for Andy Serkis' adaptation of George Orwell's "Animal Farm," and I imagine the pitch meeting went something like this.

All the crap on the internet, yet I can't find that series of Nike commercials that counted down the top five football players of all time and always ended with Al Del Greco at No. 1 except for the time he was No. 2 and the announcer broke down crying and couldn't finish.

The guy who thinks masked government thugs should snatch peaceful people off the street to be tortured in a foreign gulag would like to say a few words about warped, violent ideologies.
OK, so this screed isn't actually "a few words."

I am seriously confused. Who is The Question in DC Comics continuity right now? Is it Renee Montoya (who was perfectly fine as a cop) or Vic Sage? And is Vic dead or not? Simply ridiculous DC never capitalized on Vic's Justice League Unlimited popularity spike.

FBI Director Kash Patel is out with a tweet: "NO ONE is above the law." The premise of the administration in which Patel serves is that Donald Trump is above the law, and so are his aides, Jan. 6 rioters, businesses and oligarchs who play ball with him, Tina Peters in Colorado, and so on. /5

An "economist" so dumb I had to explain to him how the import price index works last month will now lead the BLS, kill me
a tweet from EJ Antoni that reads "Import prices just came in WAAAY below expectations: June was up just 0.1% M/M, -0.2% Y/Y, while May saw a huge downward revision from flat to -0.4% M/M; still waiting for tariffs to be passed on by foreign producers..."

I replied "The import price index measure pre-tariff prices, the fact that pre-tariff prices are basically flat means Americans are paying the tariffs. Though I wouldn’t expect a Heritage foundation guy like yourself to be smart enough to understand basic stuff like that."

@willmckinley.bsky.social Am I correct in thinking MPI's longstanding license with Dan Curtis Productions has expired and Kino has picked it up? Because apart from Dracula and some of the other DCP TV movies being announced by Kino, I'm hearing whispers about Dark Shadows, too.

The most hilarious thing with the Superman/Star Trek/Doctor Who/whatever "was always woke" claim is it's always followed by an example of the character(s) expressing anodyne liberalism as if the modern "woke" left doesn't regard liberalism as just another form of fascism.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.
