Kids, Yoko was once the most hated woman in New York, roughly from 1970-1995. She was even more hated than Leona Helmsley. But then we learned the error of our misogyny. And then we were introduced to Melania.

I love Yoko. She’s punk. She doesn’t give a fuck. And she’s going to outlive Ringo and Paul.

I think Yellowjackets has no shark to jump. And what puzzles me still is the tone. It isn’t really a nostalgic 90s trip, despite the fantastic music licensing budget. Going full genre would cover-up the ridiculous premise. But it still doesn’t strike me as a black comedy or a horror series. It seems to be playing this…

Wildlife habitats shrinking due to human development, expansion, and our insatiable need for land and resources is a global problem. It is a cause of our current pandemic. Singling out Africa is wrong. He could just give almost the speech wile not singling out a region and it would be perfectly fine and scientifically…

I am no virologist, but the pattern seems to be that we reset the clock to 24 months once a major variant burns through the world. So Delta reset the clock to 2 years. Now Omicron. So the earliest the WHO will declare the pandemic over is now January 2024.

The United States and the vaccine makers need to send millions of doses to Africa, full stop. The fact that we’re here, 11 months after the first human got his government approved dose, and we’re now realizing that Africa got left behind is not at all surprising. But it is a disgrace.

This is a fair ranking. I would just swap # 8 and # 3. Magnolia and Boogie Nights are his homages to Altman and Scorsese, respectively. And for me, the Altman nostalgia trip is a lot more enjoyable than the Scoresese one. Magnolia up, Boogie down.

The mask thing can only end when COVID hospitalizations shrink to a few dozen....nationwide. Learn to love masks. I have.

We Americans are suckers for this piece of Tottenham trash, who comes around every fifth winter to take cash from moms in exchange for physical albums. She’s like the new Andrea Boccelli. Is it Christmas? Has it been a whike since we’ve thought about heritage? It must be time for an new Adele album. She’s no Sharon…

Would be funny if El Salvador wasn’t a failed state after centuries of American interference, atrocities and imperialism.

There can’t possibly be a season 2, right? The first episode almost lays out the whole story, including a possible birthing scene in the Canadian Rockies. I’m not sure how I feel about this series. It is presented straight. It’s not a dark comedy. It’s not straight horror. But the premise is beyond unbelievable.

Did Britney’s husband say anything about the conservatorship? This is ridiculous. Leave Christina the hell alone.

Are you referring to yourself? It’s always projection with you violent right wingers.

So much to unpack here. The biopic of the Williams sisters is named after their control freak father. All subjects are still alive, so the filmmakers had to tread carefully and craft nothing but a flattering portrayal. And I thought Spike Lee had stress while filming intimate, domestic scenes for Malcolm X with Betty…

Can states pass laws so that sides that lose default judgments pay the other sides’ legal fees? Seems fair. Who is paying the fees in this case? 

This out to put LiveNation out of business 

We're fucked. I hope Kenosha burns to the ground tonight. Burn it all.

He provoked a response. How do I know? Because there were other vigilantes there, such as the man in front of Rittenhouse in this photo. He shot no one that night. This was Rittenhouse’s first night out with his new gun. He was excited. He pointed it at people. And those people didn’t like it.

This really flips the concept of self defense on its head. If people were attacking your property, that’s cut and dry. But this is a child who left his property, and inserted himself into a chaotic night of civil unrest. He essentially deputized himself as a police officer. And when he threatened and intimidated…

20 years ago, I badly wanted an RSX. It wasn’t the Integra, but it was still cool. I deeply regret not getting one, though I had the means. I was 28. The first Fast movie was in theaters. I was, admittedly, too old to be cool (in this late capitalist society, life ends at 25). But it could have worked.
