Watched The Marvels

and was pleasantly surprised considering all the bad press. It was intentionally goofy with a lot of grins and just a fun Saturday matinee feel to it. Kamala Kahn (Iman Vellani) pretty much stole the show.

Lawmen: Bass Reeves episodes 1-2 just dropped on Paramount Plus

Another Taylor Sheridan tour de force with strong story telling, action, acting and cinematography was a joy to watch for me. Worth the price of admission if you don't subscribe already.

Will the R's start referring to their new Speaker "Our new Johnson?"

I'm sure there are better one-liners out there and I'm awaiting the fun cartoonists will have.

OMG! Titus is back with VW parts! GO BOSCH!

Dunno why Amazon relegated this wonderful series to FreeVee but the first two seasons were above and beyond. Season 3 just dropped.

How times have changed.

I protested the Viet Nam War, Civil Rights, Got within 20 feet of Nixon carrying a "Dump Dick" protest sign and my biggest worries were of jail or a thrown stone but not once was afraid that a Republican with a gun would end my life over it.

Trump has given a signal that honor and civility have no place in the Republican Party but that those things are signs of weaknesses. Bolstered by a few media icons he has seen a weakness in America and, with others, is exploiting it. Accompanied by a hidden group of wealthy autocrats this new cabal seems to be playing their end game by widening the wealth gaps and strengthening the paradigm of monied elections and paid for laws.

Things are really fucked up now and if something isn't done soon there will be a change in America which will turn America into something that only serves a strange corporate hegemony.

Sorry for the rant but this shit is frightening.
