Another year I won’t see the tall ships glide into the harbor with the fireworks going on overhead (absolutely is stunning in Bangor) https://www.maine200.org/calendar/event/5

appropriate that the vaping lobster sea goddess may be the last lobster sea goddess :( 

“No, it’s just a false flag operation by the Deepstate to distract you from what’s actually going on! Now excuse me while I inject this UV Bleach I got from Alex Jones”

But wait.  I thought it was Antifa infiltrating the protests?  Were Trump and Bill Barr not telling the truth?

We caught’em, guys, we caught Antifa...wait. Nevermind.

I don’t know, Eve actually looks more natural now than she did in her heyday, but I’m still reeling from Marie. I recognized Carrie Ann, Eve and Sharon right away, but I kept squinting at Marie like... who is that now?

I mean, Marie has probably 20 years on me, and I look like an old hag. All this maintenance is a bit…

Brilliant. The Good Rizzo should be honored.

That was my take exactly. Trudeau cannot come out and say what he’s thinking outright, and probably thought that everyone knew that.

I was at college when the LA riots kicked off and remember it well. CA Gov and Bush absolutely were justified in sending in troops.. while the rioting following the George Floyd protests might be larger in scope, considering the different cities involved, there is no comparison in civilian deaths, personal property…

Yeah. The long, awkward, pause said a lot, but it’ll go right over Trump’s head.

While he’s always been diplomatic, I have never seen Trudeau soooo reluctant to say anything bad about your president. I suspect that the current pandemic might have played some role in that.

You have to understand, Canadians are the most polite of all the members of the British Commonwealth. The have elevated the quiet and measured response to an art form. Also consider Canadians have a less-than-stellar track record on the issue and you can see why Trudeau had to pause and think.

Hi, Lauren. Respectfully, I disagree. While he could have spoken out to condemn Trump (which would have been excellent) that was still a very good answer. Part of being anti-racist is to come to terms with one’s own implicit and internalized biases rather than deflect it onto another.

So, this is the third term of the cinema history sequence, which ends present day. Two weeks ago was John Sayles’ Lone Star; last week Lund & Meirelles’ City of God (Brazil); this week Bong Joon Ho’s The Host; next week is Chloe Zhao’s The Rider.

Did you look at this video? I did not even recognize Marie Osmond until she talked... 

No scones form Mocha Joe’s though.

A gentleman AND a scholar. 

He’s been cancelled, plus you can’t let John Voigt near anything good. 

Don’t get started on those fantasies where you drag him in after getting hit with rubber bullets and you have to apply topical ointments in .... unexpected places.

Bout time. That asshole was a real piece of work and as subtle as a hand grenade in a bowl of oatmeal. Need an example? Here is one of his quotes during his ‘75 reelection campaign:
