Thrilled to be so old that when I hear Big Brother, all I think about is a great psychedelic rock band with Janis Joplin on lead vocals.

This is your Labor Day reminder that the real impetus behind the Oscars™ was studio moguls and producers (Mayer, Fairbanks, etc) came up with the notion, "if we throw awards at them, they won't unionize"

Just imagine if a President of the United States was an asset for Russia. Now imagine that President bankrupts and steals from the country to give to oligarch’s. And at the same time, completely depletes the military. This is “just if” of course.

Men made war. Men lost the war. They brought it on themselves. It was women who paid the price. Women could no longer go along with men's wars. The war did not make women strong. Through the war, women found men out. - Hideko Takamine (Japanese actress, 1924-2010)

A black and white portrait of Japanese actress Hideko Takamine (1924-2010), seen from the chest up against a pale grey background. Her short curly dark hair frames a face tilted slightly downward, her gaze falling away from the camera. One hand rests near her chin with fingers loosely curled. A small round earring catches the light. She wears a dark coat with a wide collar. Soft focus holds the edges while the eyes stay sharp.

My sister-in-law grew up in Puerto Rico. When I told her about Dolly Parton’s passing, she looked puzzled—no recognition of the golden voice or public persona—until her face lit up and she said, “Oh! The book lady!” I think Dolly would love to be remembered this way by a mother of two.

One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and in 1949 he won an Oscar for ‘Battleground’.

Hot Take: What if the Cabinet members (excluding Hegseth) created a fake target threat about the plane in Turkey to show up his cowardice and his willingness to put them in danger. And he played right into it and took Hegs along with him.

So why isn't Fox news televising interviews of all the happy people who live near data centers so we can hear what a treat it is to live with the constant noise, lights, increased utility costs and non-existent new jobs?

The toxic influencer who has made "hyper-masculinity" his brand was arresting wearing Doris Day clam-digger slacks and a kicky purple blouse.

I woke up on this 4th of July from a dream that I was watching the Apollo 11 moon landing for the first time (again) while Bowie's Life On Mars played in the background. That is all.
