How much water & energy was wasted to produce this creepily homoerotic AI slop fantasy?

What if NYPL started trolling England by having one of the Pooh dolls hold up a copy of today's newspaper, like a ransom photo?

Women may choose the bear (& who can blame them?), but in this California library, we can see what the bear chooses. At least when it comes to fresh autumn reads!

11 years ago today, my Rick Steves Tour of Ireland was winding down. We took a group shot in Belfast's Titanic Quarter, steps from the slip that Titanic launched from when its build was completed. I'm the tall guy in the back row who even then was already thinking about a return trip.

While it's celebrated in my home pretty much daily, today is also National Pug Day for the world at large! And while dogs can't have chocolate, Darby O'Gill has to celebrate somehow....

In which The New York Times reduces hate speech to "personal broadsides" that require a talent.

True gender equality is a female horror character with a film series of a half dozen movies or more, including crossovers with similar characters, where she travels to space, through time, is frozen & revived & is put out of her element in places like Manhattan or Disneyland. Your move, Hollywood.

Bing Crosby, who narrated The Legend of Sleepy Hollow half of Walt Disney's Ichabod and Mr. Toad, passed away 49 years ago today. Here he is singing Disney's "...it's a small world." www.youtube.com/watch?v=99u8...

Looking at Shane Gillis on SNL, I can't help but be reminded of Oliver Hardy as depicted on Scooby-Doo. Except that had some funny moments, unlike his monologue. And this dumpy mid motherfucker has the nerve to criticize women for how they dress when working out?

15 years ago today, I had my Thug wardrobe & makeup sorted for my work on The Dark Knight Rises, which would begin a few weeks later.

Of course Christopher Columbus would be a hero to Trump. He trafficked 9 & 10 year old girls.

$10-$12 for 40 fun size candy bars from Kroger is ridiculously expensive, isn't it? What do you think we vote Blue & give out conservative tears for Halloween instead?

While the Russian bots aren't here to argue, She-Hulk was a terrific show & deserves a second season & beyond.

2 years ago, my family was on the Cape in advance of a marathon & found themselves seated next to this fool & his wife. Glad they survived without any contagion.

Kudos to the US public libraries that are closed today & brave enough to acknowledge why that is. Except for fair weather, fence-sitting, "industry leaders," anyway...

Despite being home to the Miami, Shawnee, Erie, Huron, Lenate, Wyandot, Ottawa, Seneca, & other Native American tribes, Indigenous People's Day always makes a lot of Ohio rednecks suddenly very invested in Christopher Columbus.

My personal distaste for Mike Love & John Stamos aside, if I had gone to this "Beach Boys" Cincinnati show, I'd have been wildly disappointed. A frail Mike Love, who sat for the entire show & occasionally added background vocals while a cover band plays Brian Wilson's hits, is not the Beach Boys.

Per Mike Tyson, no boxers have posed with Presidents before. Though he is probably right that it's the first time a crowd cheered for two rapists.

7 years ago this week, Purple Rain was played at a Trump campaign rally, despite confirming a year earlier that they would no longer do so, which to me at least, should have ended Trump's campaign then & there.

One of several frustrating aspects of @google's removal of Google Assistant in favor of its shite, AI driven, @googlegemini, is that at least with Assistant, if an answer wasn't what you were looking for, you could swipe up & access Google's search for more information.

Find time to appreciate the small things In life. Like how James Taylor named one of his pugs after his good friend, Jackson Browne.

Whatever might be said about the latest adaptation of Carrie & its faithfulness to the book & its title character, Summer H. Howell knocked it out of the park with her performance. All she wanted to do was be curious, kind, & read Anne of Green Gables.
