Masculinity and machismo are not the same thing. Mark Kelly is masculine. Pete Hegseth is macho. Masculine is responsible, has humility, and loyalty to the less than all-powerful. Macho is irresponsible, is vain, and loyal only to the all-powerful.

Quick question. Who reads ANY of the Trump postings that are quoted on BlueSky? WHY? You think he's going to say something funny? Wise? Is he going to form some sort of real argument? Is he going to present a "fact" that's actual factual?

Dear IT industry. I'm not Jason Bourne. Everything you do with your stuff to make it "secure" makes it harder for me to use. Cut me some slack. Eisenhower was President when I was born.

FLASH: THE WIDOW, PART 2. So, she must have been filled with ideas about mourning. Our network has unconfirmed reports. She, apparently, has secured a long-term contract with a Japanese-French firm, specializing in androids. An ironclad NDA is the heart of the contract.

FLASH: THE WIDOW What exactly has the former Mrs. Leopold Fremont, now once again Maryann Brown Lee, done with her inheritance? She has not been a public figure. Perhaps it is still mourning for Leopold Freemont. She was forty years younger than him.

The best Alan Moore comic is 1988's "The Mirror of Love." 8 pages. The history of western civilization told through a gay lens. Narrated by twin gay angels. (It's in the anthology AARGH.) In contrast, WATCHMEN was only clever.

I remember the manager's tears, even when they were invisible. He was rescued in the big race by the friends of the doctor of kings. The hand of time closed over him. His public friends dragged him into the shadows because that was the only chance at victory. It never came. The victory, I mean.

Once, I met a dead medicine show man. He said, "Clear out your ears, so you can hear that my screamed lies & insults are the words of a prophet." I said, "I'll fight you how I can, not forgetting the daily moment of magic served by the trees & the animals."

I want to publicly reply to someone who just posted how great everything would be if Harris had won. Oh, you bet! But the election of Zohran Mamdani since then gives me new hope. There was a lot of $ dedicated to ZM being defeated. None of it worked.

Okay, Brendan Carr the FCC chair, has a longish list of recommendations for TV, and one of them is to begin "your broadcast TV with the national anthem." And what year do you think it is, Brendan? All of TV is around the clock with no start of a "broadcast day" since, I think, about 1980.

At a clown school near Paris, failure is the lesson
For decades, students at the Ecole Philippe Gaulier have been paying to bomb onstage. The goal isn't laughs — it's learning how to take the humiliation and keep going.

Is ANYBODY still reading Trump's posts that get quoted on Blue Sky? It's not a matter of, "Well, let me be an adult and read the POV that isn't mine." It's just that EVERYTHING that Trump says/posts in a lie or arrogantly stupid.

Do we remember the Central Park Five? Trump took out that big old NYT ad. When they were proven not guilty he wasn't man enough to say he was wrong. I would like somebody else besides The Devil to sort out Trump, but his birth certificate and any insurance actuary table makes me doubtful.

Can I see a good word for Dragnet? Yes, it was corny. Yes, the episodes about drugs were culturally tone deaf. But in 374 TV episodes, 314 radio the heroes enforced & followed the law. There was an episode about a corrupt cop. There was an episode where Friday is investigated for shooting someone.

The current state of things is awful, but the Nazis are an inaccurate analogy. 1) Hitler was 56 at the end of WWII. Trump is almost 80. 2) The Internet didn't exist in the 30s, so the Nazis could get everyone to agree on their version of the Reichstag Fire.

So Bill Maher rightfully rips into the moral sewer Trump swims in AND he rips into "the woke" and "politically correct." Compared to Trump, Group 2 are not near that moral sewer. But I guess as a comedian, this is what Maher is going to do. My moral instruction comes from Christ, not Bob Hope.

The Jan 6 riot/coup wasn't enough for you people? You decided that Harris and Trump were moral equivalents? So ... all of you are the Queen of Spain?

Trump's magical thinking motivated him to lobby to get Rush Hour 4 made, because supposedly American men aren't manly enough and that's going to help. This is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

When new episodes of the 50s Superman TV show were being broadcast, there were young boys who tied on towels as pretend capes & jumped off the roof of garages. It's the same sort of magical thinking Trump thinks he can pull off by cutting in line with the so-called "renaming" of the Kennedy Center.
