Trapped with roommate making me watch NCIS— I can’t concentrate, as I have this obsession with wanting to see Gibbs watch his partner go into a situation, and warn him “No, no, don’t open that door, McGee!”

Today’s reminder of why we’re living in Sinclair Lewis’ “It Can’t Happen Here”: Stephen Colbert edition. 🤨

Today’s reminder of why you can put down the freakin’ George Orwell already, we’re living in Sinclair Lewis’s “It Can’t Happen Here by now: Chapter 12

Despite the protests, Trump’s military parade seems to be attracting a small crowd:

The next time ICE convinces us they’re going after “bad criminals”, remind them: Strawberry fields. FOREVER. 🍓😠

Reminder to Read a Banned Book, this week (while you still can)! 📖😎 youtu.be/D6hFsqNF0iQ

In today’s headlines, security guards detained a man who tried to crash through the front gate of Jennifer Aniston’s Bel Air mansion. ANNN-nyway, her bag of SkinnyPop popcorn was reportedly unharmed. 🙄🍿

Ways Anime Predicted the Future, #7: Two-way communication earrings (as worn by the Dirty Pair)

👶 “Liberty.” 💁‍♂️ “It’s pronounced ‘Biberty’.” 👶 “Liiiiberty.” Okay. I want to know: WHO wished on a monkey’s paw that they’d freakin’ get rid of the Flightless Bird commercial? 😡

In latest sports news, Paige Bueckers became first pick in this year’s WNBA Draft, winning a spot with the Dallas Wings. And you can tell it’s women’s basketball, because they have My Little Pony for a team symbol. 😛

In today’s headlines: Trump removes tariffs for computers and smartphones made in China— For reasons having ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with expensive iPhones getting more bad media press than expensive produce or lumber. Unless those bad Chinese keep sending us more bad Fentanyl. 😠

In latest headlines, State Farm insurance announced plans to drastically hike emergency insurance rates for already financially strapped California homeowners in light of the recent wildfires. …This sounds like a job for Batman. 🙄

Literally EVERY single news article on the de-extinction of Dire Wolves has, without exception, and often in the lead headline, used “They were on Game of Thrones! 🤓” as scientific justification. If so: I demand a campaign to increase funding for dragon DNA research. Now.

Latest Fox News faux-outrage? Tim Walz on tour, quote, “Acting like a standup conic” heckling Elon Musk’s financial freefall…. 😆 I’m Eric Janssen, and my pronouns are “Ever sit through a cringeworthily stagestruck Ted Cruz appearance at CPAC?” 🙄

Given Trump’s quality musical tastes, a new anthem for his so-called tariff “Liberation Day” has been offered: 🪩 🕺 youtu.be/1uGKcrAgbg8?...

So, given the trending Free Luigi fandom posts this morning… Has SNL yet done a parody of Stephen Sondheim’s “Assassins”, with a new number of Luigi Mangione singing old 90’s boy-band Fangirl numbers? 🙄 youtu.be/UP4VwmwkI1c?...

Just to give some microcosmic representative example of how Disney’s pandering-over-backwards destroys their live-action remakes, but… …Shouldn’t the title properly be “Snow White AND the Seven Dwarfs”? 🤔 Or would the mere suggestion there was anyone else in the story disrespect her girlbosshood?🙄

Just watching Disney’s Encanto, and… Is it just me, or does Abuela look unsettlingly like that crazy Alzheimer’s mom from the pharmaceutical ad? 🤔

Just turned on MTV, and they’re showing reruns of Big Bang Theory, just like every other Paramount/Viacom channel. I didn’t mind when it was Young Ones or Monkees reruns, but using it as the same dump that VH-1 used to be before RuPaul…the 80’s David Bowie in my soul just died a little. 😓

“The people know our name now!” “They certainly DO know the name, they burned the factory down this morning!” [This Monty Python Quote of the Day brought to you by Tesla.]. 😂

I turned on the morning news, and saw an item about Trump buying a Tesla from Elon Musk, followed by a segment about Girl Scout Cookie sales season. For what it’s worth. (Remember how it was always your mom that bought the first box? 😅)

I want to know I am not alone on this: If I never hear the words “Flightless bird” again for the rest my entire sorry freakin’ life, It will be TOO SOON. 🤬

I’ve always wondered why some enterprising tie-in merchandiser hasn’t come up with the John Wick External Catheter: “For those who can’t take it anymore…” 💧😛

Not that I believe paranoid sexist misandry shouldn’t sell midsize sports cars, just asking: …IS there such a thing as “Competitive Air Drumming”, and if so,where do I sign up? 🤔

I’m stuck in hospital for a week with nothing but my phone and cable Tv, and a few observations: 1). Remember when SyFy, E!, AMC, Bravo and FX had actual programs, and didn’t all show the EXACT SAME Harry Potter, SW and Marvel marathons as each other? (1/x)
