Oh my, a Blu-ray version of those would be nice, especially if they can "sharpen it to crystal clarity!" Worth watching many times over.

Oh, that "Mutant" episode was absolutely frightening to me as a kid. (And I loved every minute of it!)

Proud to be a Minnesotan and glad that many people in other countries understand. We are a split society where too many people become clueless by following cult figures.

I wonder how they would react if their surroundings were polluted - if they found it difficult to breathe or find clean water. But we know which communities will actually suffer. I always thought the EPA should be strengthened, not eroded away. We need to keep speaking out. Thanks for that!

Yep, you are right. Attempts to control the propaganda is including the lies of omission. I saw Richard Medhurst on YouTube the other day showing before and after shots of the devastation.

My sentiments exactly! Above average temperatures last week, snow flurries throughout this week.

We will be seen as two countries that have gone insane. We are ruled by imbeciles, governed by imbeciles in congress triangulating to their own advantage, and consent will be manufactured by the compliant imbeciles on TV. (Harsh words, I realize.)

It is the inhumane strategy waged in Gaza brought to Iran. And, yes, whether under Biden or Trump, it is a great stain on our countries and the propagandized ones who support this.

I just had to look up the definition:

Asset; noun
1. A useful or valuable quality, person, or thing; an advantage or resource.
2. A valuable item that is owned.
3. A spy working in his or her own country and controlled by the enemy.

And number 3 is so appropriate.

I agree. There sure seems to be a lot of self-neutering by way of thinking, "How can I turn this into an advantage?" A feckless bunch that can't seem to stand up for justice.

This looks like a much worse haunting than that of Scrooge by Jacob Marley, eh? It would be not far from the truth if he actually had a conscience.

Oh, that's a lot! And I like several of them, but it seriously needs to collapse and ruin the oligarchy.

This really explains "the ratchet effect." And come to think of it, I don't remember a Democrat explaining their position. This is, in part, why third parties look better than the usual lot that gets elected, and why I tend to vote third party.

Minnesota Emergency: Organizers vs. ICE (the Inside Story)
Minnesota Emergency: Organizers vs. ICE (the Inside Story) YouTube video by Movement Voter Project

Here is a good retrospect on very recent history and a reminder to all of what it takes for a movement like this. And here's another reminder: ICE has not completely left Minnesota. We remain seriously resolved and will never forget.

In a normal parallel universe, he never would have risen to that position. In a halfway normal world, he would have been kicked out early on. In this world, I suspect he is being kept in place because he is generating a lot of profit for a few people.

So appropriate with this update to an old meme. And until I enlarged it, I thought that was a gopher standing on the lawn behind him. (Must be the influence of old movies!)

International Women's Day 2026 theme FREE International Women's Day 2026 theme resources - #IWD2026

Happy International Women's Day! I'm proud to say that, once I quit self-employment, I've worked alongside many women, and in those places, they were treated as equals.

That is disheartening news. Oregon forests are nothing short of spectacular. I have friends in Oregon who will speak out against this, but they are going against a lawless bunch who are filled with such hubris.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai YouTube video by YouTube Movies

Another Saturday night, another fav classic 80s retro movie - Buckaroo Banzai! It promises a sequel about The World Crime League, but I think we got that in real life, along with Idiocracy and Dr. Strangelove IRL!

I couldn't agree more. Glad that many of us are resolved to keep speaking out about the scourge of Z-ism. (Good way to spell that!)

I have this uneasy feeling that polls are being messed with. George W. Bush got as low as 19% and Dick Cheney down to 13%. Or the propaganda is working well enough to bring in the cult-of-personality members.

I still have great respect for Dennis Kucinich. He is spot on with this. I've also been thinking that US & Israel was unleashing Gaza-like tactics on Iran with the bombing of schools and hospitals.

I agree. I encounter people who can't separate the meaning of weather and climate. (They say, "But it's been a cold winter, so where is global warming now?")

Yep, she has done her part on causing a great amount of damage and chaos, and now thrown on the scrapheap of history. And although out of the spotlight, she can still cause some damage. (Dogs breathe a sigh of relief, though!)

β€œThe USA/Israel will fail in Iran. Just as they failed in Iraq. Afghanistan.... Vietnam.… Failure is the plan. Once you see the model, you can dismantle it.”
The collapse of civilizations is the goal, after which a small cadre of monsters will profit immensely.

Just the other day, I happened to be thinking about Jet Jaguar and wondering which movie he was in. Thanks! Also, all those photos are definitely meme-worthy!

With apologies to Abraham Lincoln or someone like him: β€œYou can distract some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot distract all the people all the time.” This is why we will never forget The Epstein Files, and will keep reminding everyone of them!

Yes, they all can have their special personalities. We adopted a German Shepherd who was quite violent and belligerent. With our guidance he became a real sweetheart and the best dog we ever had on the farm.
