I've been reading two threads where people are picking on the spelling of others. I'm tempted to do that from time to time, but then I look back at my old posts where I leave out words and use the wrong homophones and I decide not to do that

I was looking at the wikipedia entry for George Pal and it had some of his uncompleted movie and television projects. He wanted to do Logan's Run back in 1968. He wanted to do sequels for When Worlds Collide, The Time Machine and Doc Savage. He also wanted to do The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1979

A lot of people are excited for a forthcoming game I've never heard of. Maybe I'm no longer in the loop

What is up with Trump saying, “I call that a” or “I call it” over and over? It’s not like he’s coming up with new or clever word usage

On Sunday January 13th, 1985, THREADS premiered on superstation TBS complete with an on-screen introduction by network founder/owner Ted Turner (1938-2026). It became the most-watched broadcast in basic cable history. [LINK] youtu.be/ZgNsD8iCFvA?...

Obama almost had a point about the left talking normally. The right has gotten good at finding left phrases and perverting them. Like Critical Race Theory is a reasonable grad school topic that the right told us was being taught to school children

Meeting a big time politician is always a bit strange when you’re a kid, but this visit to the Oval Office is reaching new levels of weird

Have the animals been changing in his cognitive tests? I thought he had to identify a bear and the last time he said it was a squirrel. Maybe they've used different animals on the different tests...

I like looking at the huge slideshows of Met Gala fashion. I think Vogue had 209 slides/photos. The amount of quiet desperation is awesome

Re: the waking up in 1995 meme. The obvious answers are buying Apple stock (very cheap) and picking up rare Magic the Gathering cards. But maybe think of ways of stopping 9/11. It'd still be 6 years off, but you'd have to get started early. A lot of our current woes stem from that one event
