Wellnow guess wasn’t expecting that. Talk about some loaded questions. Recently, Reggie Jackson took ‘Murica to task for her crimes against humanity, and hoo-wee … the man should have been a boxer ‘cuz he pulled not one punch. Mr. October (Mr. Jackson, if you’re nasty), 5-time World Series winner and MLB Hall of Famer, played …
Guess That Answers That
I like Bob De Niro. Seems like a crusty yet amusing person … your mom’s older brother who stockpiles guns and dirty jokes … “You talkin’ to me?” Unfortunately, methinks he gets typecast as a gangster … did not know he was up for Jack Torrance at the Overlook but Jack did it better / …
Part of the Problem
Well, that’s interesting. Little late to the party … which started back in 2019, in another country, but wasn’t actually invited and has absolutely nothing to do with me so my tardiness is perfectly understandable. South Korean women are done. So much for passport bros. It’s called the 4B movement — bihon (no marriage), bichulsan …
Splurt
Something weirdly satisfying? Blackhead extraction videos, especially from Asia. Face cheese at its finest, with a smidge of pus-eruption and skin larvae. Nice. The ones featuring zitpops and cystbombs from the West and West-aspiring are almost gleefully prurient. Still good, but acceptable in smaller doses. Although the Iranian (?) chick showing her housework and groceries …
OK Not Worried, Worried … but Still
Methinks I suppose the question becomes … now what? Ashton Kutcher (could he have been any better typecast than Kelso? Methinks not) recently took some heat for stating the obvious … which the Hollywood strikes of ‘23/’24 protested … that Hollywood, that cauldron of magic and mystery, will be controlled entirely by AI. No more …
Adorable, Personified
The Deadheads, the BeyHive, the Swifties … Fandom is power. And can be wielded as a sword or shield. Must admit … never been much for pop culture. Transitory … irrelevant … inscrutable. Who knows what’s popular, and how/why it gets that way? BUT … but. Since the shearing of the “g.o.a.t.” actually watched the …
45 got 34 & 52(-ish)
OK so now Trump is officially a convicted felon and I gotta say … so what. OK, so falsifying business records to cover up hush money paid to a porn star. Again … so what? This is the former president who, while running for office in 2016, proclaimed “I don’t even ask – just grab …
Law #15 – Annihilation Absolute
Imperial China, roughly 200 B.C. Two men, once great friends, became bitter enemies. Hsiang Yu descended from nobility; hot-tempered, dull-witted, and prone to violence, Hsiang was the heroic idiot, the type to lead his men into battle from the front. Liu Pang, on the other hand, hailed from the peasant class, and tended toward the …
Law #14 – Social Intel
From the turn of the 20th century until just before WWII, Joseph Duveen was the preeminent art dealer in the US. Known for his famous quote — “Europe has a great deal of art; America has a great deal of money” — Duveen was born in England and dropped out of high school to help …
Law #13 – Help Me Help You Help Us
Beautiful opening scene to Mel Gibson’s “Braveheart.” Might want to visit Scotland one day. Likely not, but … a thought. Anyhoo, the first few minutes of the film return to 1280 AD. The Scottish king dies without a proper heir, and the nobles and elders of the clans were invited to a meet with King …
