I really need to watch this beguiling strange fucked-up -in a -cool -way- show.

I'm pretty sure all the Russian trolls that have been infesting the Guardian for years now with bad impersonations of Westerners ("Hallo chums, I am the John Smith from English-land, and let me tell you how much I irrationally hate NATO to you right now!") are paid with wheelbarrows of inferior potatoes.

My first viewing of Star Wars would be about October 1977. I was nine or ten, intrigued by the action figures other boys brought to my Catholic school in the Bronx. It was my birthday, and my mom took me and my two best friends, a boy and a girl, and my brother and baby sister, on a city bus. I suppose we got there…

Very nicely said, Pairesta. With Foo Fighters, Grohl was escaping gloom and sadness to energy and joy, perhaps. That's how I see it.

Wow, nicely said, and I really appreciate your saying it. It's hard to describe that anomie and uncertainty and .. the pessimism that seemed everywhere in the early mid 90s. (Fuck that Winona Ryder/ Ethan Hawke movie for trying to, so badly.) It was such a weird time, I wish I had had more optimism instead of…

Well, I agree with your last point- that images are carefully curated, on social media and everywhere else. But I think you're overstating that control, no these stars are pretty direct in doing it themselves, because here's a hint- they are rightly panicked at times that they aren't real stars. They are highly…

OH, you just know that Chaffetz is filthy and there's incriminating recordings about him. It's so in the email for him, and I cant wait to see him exposed. In that DC town filled with rotten people, Chaffetz takes the cake.

I remember the experience of In Utero, which I think was a cthonic Abstract Expressionist masterpiece, in art terms. It was monstrous and mighty, and Dave Grohl's contributions to that effect were considerable. The early 90s in my early 20s were a mix of depression and nihilism when I listened to this. But I was…

And they all think they're so daring and dashing don't they? Carolla seems to imagine that America is a world that only someone like him gets to call the shots, about who gets to be American. Huh, funny, not too long ago he'd be considered a guinea dago knifecriming piece of disreputable shit back in the twentieth…

Fun fact: 99 percent (99%) of Americans have forgotten who or what an Adam Carolla is. They are puzzled and cock their heads trying to remember that unfamiliar name, though is sounds vaguely like someone they knew once in high school.

That he's a dick?

Which in my mind is the absolutely most horrible thing a person can do. Or close to it. I can't imagine what sort of fucking loon would go and torment a parent of a Sandy Hook victim because right-wing media told them to, that it was all fake and a conspiracy. This is horrifying beyond belief. That people…

I get your point, but they still managed to have torrid affairs, gay sex, dabblings with exotic drugs that no one knew about. Stars used to have mystique and privacy that doesn't exist anymore in the Internet age. I respect that you want to dispute that for some reason, but I don't see why, it's a pretty basic…

Cool, and thanks!

Cool thing I am listening to tonight: Jean Michel Jarre & Pet Shop Boys - Brick England - smooth electronics from a French master with very British lyrics and vocals from the wonderful Neil Tennant. I really like it.

Related, tonight Wolf Blitzer was interviewing rat-weasel Jason Chaffetz, and Wolf was pleasingly aggressive, asking Chaffetz how it feels to be a leaker himself (the Comey memo about Hillary). Rat-face was a giggly stupid mess. Full of shit, talking about how he wants to spend more time with his family. You just…

I am simply boggled and appalled at this leak causing such trouble and disruption in the UK authorities' investigations. I apologize on behalf of the US- it seems there is no one in charge here to rein shit like this in. I don't see the rationale behind it. Obama was criticized for his severe crackdowns on leaks-…

That's kind of encouraging. If even Red State commenters are saying that this is all a stupid piece of bullshit, I hope it adds to Hannity's disgrace and downfall. Absolutely no one is on his side in his sadistic lying torment of Seth Rich's family. A good sign.

It would be really a great miracle if fuckheads who watch Fox and wave the flag ever realized the fucking astonishing way that Russia has subtly infiltrated and has so many Republicans compromised, indebted, collaborators. The party of Reagan is fucking filled with GOP goons influenced by a former KGB head, who is…

I am glad to see that this effort of theirs to derail Trump's Russiagate is failing so spectacularly, and that Hannity's exploitation of Seth Rich's murder is backfiring and befouling Hannity - no one buys his sadistic bullshit garbage except extreme right wing loons. Fuck him.
