#ColbertQuestionert 10. Least favourite smell? Vomit 🤮 What’s yours?

I’m pretty sure Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has done an episode based on Epstein. Who played Trump?

“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is no resource left but the original right of self-defense.” - Alexander Hamilton #QOTD

Everything that is done there, can be done here, and could be; this current administration has no love of democracy, free speech, or dissent, and it's already been road testing killing average people who get in their way.

using "for a documentary" to make any shitty thing sound better "my life is going pretty well for a documentary" "my car isn't working, but it's still pretty strong for a documentary" "i have been diagnosed with dysentery, but they say my chances look good for a documentary"

#ColbertQuestionert 9. Favourite smell? Barbecue What’s yours?

Death?

“Look…I understand too little too late. I realize there are things you say and do you can never take back. But what would you be if you didn't even try? You have to try. So after a lot of thought I'd like to reconsider. Please, if it's not too late…Make it a cheeseburger” - Lyle Lovett #QOTD

#ColbertQuestionert 8. Window or Aisle? Window (Since all of my flying these days is with my claustrophobic better half, if seats are three wide, we do opposite aisles. If two wide, I take - and actually prefer - the window.)

With Wonder Man, Trevor Slattery has been fleshed out into one of the best characters of the MCU.

Not sure I’m a fan of the idea of replacing Prue Leith with Nigella Lawson on Bake Off.

Hey @tcmtv.bsky.social - where is the last batch of January’s Jean Arthur movies on the TCM App? If I knew they weren’t going to be posted there like the ones earlier in the month, I would have DVRed them.

I’ve been whistling the Rolling Stones song, She Comes in Colors, for a couple weeks now. I blame the Xfinity/Olympics ad with the little girl and snippets of figure skaters. (She sets up a bunch of stuffed animals to serve as an audience. I keep waiting for them to throw people out on the “ice”.)

“I have tried in my way to be free.” - Leonard Cohen #QOTD

A Five-Star review for Springsteen’s latest song.

This song needs to be brought back for these times. Volunteers of America youtu.be/Xaw--HWHecg?...

WHOA! MTG. 💥

Starting this tonight.

…a sore loser.

I guess he didn’t have to pull out his gun to incite the ire of the president.

Minority Report?

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead #QOTD

#ColbertQuestionert 7. Favourite action movie? LOTR: The Return of the King What’s yours?

COLBERT: “.. Do not compare ICE or the border patrol to the Nazis. .. The Nazis were willing to show their faces.” @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

“There is no such thing as a weird human being, It's just that some people require more understanding than others.” - Tom Robbins #QOTD

"...and Stephen."

#ColbertQuestionert 6. What do you think happens when we die? When I’ve woken from under general anesthesia, I can’t tell whether I’ve been out 45 minutes, 45 days, or 450 years. Timeless, dreamless “sleep” equals oblivion. And as an atheist, I’m okay with that. What’s going to happen to you?

For those who think recent Star Trek has suffered from being “woke”…

"Diversity contains as many treasures as those waiting for us on other worlds. We will find it impossible to fear diversity and to enter the future at the same time." - Gene Roddenberry #QOTD

After a decade of underperforming #$SPY, #$VEU (all-world ex-US) seems to be breaking the long-term trend. Liberation Day started it with a shot across the bow, and now January performance is confirming the change. So much for “America first”.

“I was just following orders.” Where have I heard that before?

Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada 2023

Watch, learn and share.

He’s managed to fly under the radar so far, overshadowed by Noem, Homan, and Bovino. I guess that’s over now for Todd Lyons.

#ColbertQuestionert 5. Have you ever asked someone for their autograph? If so, who? My answer: Yes…Jean Shepherd, book signing for A Fistful of Fig Newtons and In God We Trust - All Others Pay Cash. How ‘bout you?

While the big city siege in Minneapolis seems to be suffering from some cracks, let’s not forget that in places like suburban New Jersey and elsewhere, ICE is still doing guerrilla skirmishes, snatching people off the streets.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

"What you don’t play can be more important than what you do play." - Thelonious Monk #QOTD

It’s just about freezing…in my garage, and temps are forecasted to drop as the week goes on.

Seriously, this for the Super Bowl would fuck HARD 🔥

Alright… remember this — connection don’t always announce itself. Sometimes it’s just knowing someone is tuned to the same frequency, even for a mo. A shared song, a shared pause, a shared glance. That count. Carry that. Stay open where you can. Til then, be kind. And keep the signal human.

The winter of our discontent.

"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right." - Ralph Waldo Emerson #QOTD

“.. he was haunted by the same questions many readers were left with: ‘Why would you deploy this very caustic, powerful pepper spray at this close range when the person is already in your custody?’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

#ColbertQuestionert 4. Apples or Oranges? Oranges What’s your preference?

Sometimes I find something good in my Facebook feed.
