It's D-Day, and here's a @MeTV angle. James Doohan of Star Trek was among the many soldiers who landed on the beach that day. He lost a finger on his right hand to machine gun fire. They avoided showing that on the show. But it's visible in the tribbles episode. #svengoolie

"Mr. Pelley also wrote that senior managers at CBS News had pressured him to insert bias into stories for “60 Minutes” this past season, though he did not provide details about specific segments." Pretty important part of the story re his firing. Maybe *the* most important part. CBS = new Fox.

Scott Pelley on being fired: “I have been in combat in Afghanistan. I have been in combat in Iraq. I have been in the war zone in Ukraine multiple times, risking my life and the happiness of my family because of my devotion to the broadcast.” {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/b...

[Decoder Ring] No Pulp: The Killing of the Florida Orange podcastaddict.com/decoder-ring...

I see it now: The New Kids on the Block are to Gen Z what The Temptations were to Gen Y.

We're watching Westerns, starting with Days of Jesse James (1939), where the older characters talk like they're in Wicked (2024) and one guy sold his gold mine for $41,000 ($1.34 million in today's dollars)

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed a new enamel-repairing gel that starts restoring teeth in just 2 WEEKS. This could replace fillings and change dental treatment worldwide, with use expected around 2026–2027.

You know I despise Trump with the fury of 1,000 suns. You know I left my whole life behind to stop him. And you know that when I get to Congress, I will file Articles of Impeachment on Day 1, and I will not stop until he is in a damn orange jumpsuit

Never in my life have I ever heard of a "chess" pie.

Cannot find anything about this mural I saw yesterday in Chicago, apparently dated 2025, on Western about 18th Street on north part of rail embankment, apparently depicting a soldadera. I love it. Reminds me of the pioneer-theme public art you see out west, but rarely here.

I read this article about the closing of a manufacturer of tape measures. Later, at the hardware store I was yapping about it to my husband and grabbed a Milwaukee tape measure to look at its double-sidedness BUT LO, the Milwaukee tape measure was also single-sided. www.wsj.com/business/sta...

Brad voted Trump bc he promised to be “the most pro-farmer president you’ve ever had.” Instead, tariffs cut Brad’s export market; the war surged fertilizer prices by 70%. So Brad arranged his family’s final sale. “Farm is going dry,” said the ad. “Every cow must go.” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/u...

NEW SEASON ALERT! Every other Wednesday, Mer and Kennedy will subject themselves to a new and different Fred Olen Ray Lifetime movie! Starting May 13th. Will mothers have to rescue their teenage to new-adult daughters? Will there be soap actors? Will M+K survive?!

May 13th on @goofpodcast.bsky.social -

We're back on the 13th of May, and we've got several Lifetimes to live. . . (Fun fact: both Lena Dunham and Robert Pattinson turn 40 that day!)

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif.

One of my favorite things about Sponge is that the guitar player looks like a VP of Finance

The Trump administration asked Congress to fund smart glasses that can identify you by your face in real time, just by an ICE agent looking at you on the street. No warrant, no arrest, no charges required.

Scott and Larry need to write a movie about Fred Olen Ray.
