I started it two nights ago, got about eight minutes in, and walked away. I’ve enjoyed Will Ferrell’s work before, and though Iceland alone would be enough to pull me in, but this didn’t really grab me. I’ll try again sometime when the mood is right, though I don’t know exactly what that means given that I stopped…

The judges would also have accepted “Führer censorship.”

I’m calling it “nooselighting.”

Well, it is the language the Bible was written in.

Something that drives me bananas is that the state university mascot is the Rebels. The goddamn Rebels. Wikipedia says that name was adopted in... 1936.

Ugh, I hate him so much.

And I’ll note that part of the R-words franchise’s response to this historical moment has been its announcement it will officially retire Bobby Mitchell’s jersey number, since he was the first Black player in team history, which is significant since until now only the team has only officially retired one jersey…

Slight correction: the R-words didn’t remove that statue, the Washington Convention and Sports Authority AKA “Events DC” did, as the owners of the stadium where the R-words used to play before they moved out to the Maryland suburbs.

I honestly don’t know, but I keep asking him about it... as our county “reopens” we’re already seeing a surge in positive test results, meaning things have gone from bad to worse and they’ll be getting even worse in the weeks and months to come. So we’ll have plenty of local data to go along with the awful national…

I’ve asked repeatedly where he gets this from, to no avail. I think he’s in the thrall of libertarian-ish/Elon Musk fanboy types. He’s young enough to have time to get over it, and I know his heart’s in the right place on social issues because we talk about stuff a lot.

Another gem, cut largely from the same cloth, went something like this, after it was revealed that Coach had had the nickname Red as a younger man.

One of my kids, a teenager, keeps spouting this “more people will die if we don’t reopen the economy!” line, and I can’t for the life of me figure out where he picked it up. I’m firmly in the “hold your horses!” camp and am in no hurry to do stuff that puts him or me or anybody in our lives at risk, such as attending…

Even before this asshole gets hired by some asshole private company, I suspect there will be an opportunity for likeminded assholes to send him money through an online fundraiser, if one doesn’t already exist.

I welcome this — as I welcome any and all bad news for Herr Trump — but at this point I can’t imagine what new information could be so “harrowing and salacious” that it changes someone’s mind.

Here’s how I always heard this: “Let’s you and him fight.”

(And I didn’t know that either, before looking into it. Having spent an hour or so watching Klaus Nomi videos on YouTube just a few weeks ago, initially I had the same confusion as you two did.)

I believe “Nomi” was the main character’s name.  It appears to be a play on that.

I’m ashamed I didn’t remember that!

I’m ashamed I didn’t remember that!

Maybe it was a dream.
