I recall years and years ago reading about a brain scan study that demonstrated that extreme conservatism is in fact a mild form of ‘intellectual disability’ (the DSM-5's current term for what was once called ‘mental retardation’). The DSM-5 also lists ‘hyperreligiosity’ as a clinical condition linked to temporal lobe

A standing joke of mine is the Emmys would still be nominating 30 Rock for ‘Best Comedy’ if they could, despite it being off the air since 2013 and the last three of its seven seasons being garbage. Its almost guaranteed the funniest series this year (whatever it may be, on whatever platform) will lose out to some

It was reported several years ago that the Trump administration had been paying minor black celebrities up to ninety thousand dollars to say nice things about him. Which explains Steve Harvey, Kayne West and a couple other ‘celebrities’ so minor that I can’t recall her names. Immanuel has probably already cashed her

We’ve just passed another grim milestone in this country. One hundred and fifty thousand pandemic deaths. I’m not seeing any banner headlines about it.

Mr Clausen is 79 years old. Most people would have hoped to get a gold watch and retirement pension 14 years before that age. Poor Harry Shearer is 76 year old and has tried on several occasions to escape the shackles of the series.

Its ironic that in the age of angry protests about ‘cultural appropriation’ a show about an Indian matchmating service is criticized for not being sufficiently ‘American’ in its cultural assumptions.

I don’t think I’ve ever met a 56 year old 5 ft 11 American male who was anywhere near 170 pounds.

Amber would be able to tell you if Eon was a ‘big guy’ or not, if you know what I means.

Ooooh, this film must be the original idea behind  the 2011 Korean TV series ‘Vampire Prosecutor. Which is what it says on the tin, a criminal prosecutor who becomes a vampire and is conflicted by his duel nature. Season one was okay to pretty good. Season 2 sucked, both figuratively and literally.

Would it include the ‘sexy vampires’ of the Shining sequel? Who in their right mind would think its a good idea to put vampires into The Shining’?

What was the unemployment rate for actors in Hollywood pre-pandemic, something like 90%? For every role, no matter how minor, there are a minimum 100 people lining up to be auditioned for it. If you don’t look exactly how they envision the character to look you’re out. If you don’t sound exactly like how they think the

I’m reminded of a small town at night where when one back yard dog starts barking the other back yard dogs in the neighborhood start barking too.

My my, how didactic. The name’s spelled 새소년. Fee free to transliterate it as you wish. That term ‘indi rock’. Are you trying to illustrate just how constricted musical tastes have become? IU isn’t ‘pop’ either, though she’s the biggest pop star in the country. Oh no, I can’t think of a proper category to place Park

Now playing

If you only know BTS you’re missing a universe of Korean pop you can scarcely imagine. Here’s some truly legitimate head-banger music from the amazing Seso Neon.

Y’know, when some activist eventually decides only straight actors can play straight characters all of Hollywood will implode

I’m having difficulty commenting on this for some reason. I type out a long paragraph, take a look at it and ‘nope’, I delete the text and start typing again. I guess I’m just not meant to have a coherent opinion on Ms. Swift’s music.

All I know about Boardwalk empire is a tabloid story that an actress got fired from the series for throwing a used tampon at a production worker. Funny the weird little factoids that get stuck in your mind.

Their goal is NOT for you to believe them. In fact they want you to not believe them, to see lies coming out of news outlets. Then you will be more likely to not believe true facts either. this is far more insidious than merely telling lies.

This story isn’t about Fauci, this story is about Stalin.
This is straight out of the Stalinist playbook.
Sinclair’s goal isn’t to convince you of their nonsense (there’s 0% chance they believe their own garbage). Their goal is to POISON THE MINDS of the electorate. If you poison the well of civic discourse the public

Reports of deaths from ‘pneumonia’ or ‘blood disorders’ or several other unfortunate affliction are all suspect these days.
