Just had the germ of an idea for an action movie. Title: Three Guys Walk into a Bar starring Jason Statham, (maybe) Jamie Dornan and Gerard Butler as an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scot. Now all I need is a plot.

Jesus. I just saw a clip from some guy named Brandon Weichert on Real Americans' Voices, talking about how "important" it was that Trump is "eyeing" Alberta coz it's a "gateway to the Arctic." If Brandon had a map he'd know it's landlocked and not a gateway to anywhere.

I was having a beer at the Wheat Sheaf Monday and Tracy Chapman's Talkin Bout a Revolution came on. I never noticed before how she sounds a little like a higher-voiced Jim Croce. Something about the phrasing maybe. Or maybe it was the Wheat Sheaf's sound system.

It has come to my attention that the Oxford English Dictionary has two different pronunciations for Newfoundland. And they're both wrong. Same with Newfoundlander. Sigh.

I only just discovered Brandi Carlile's covered A Long, long Time a couple of years ago. Lovely version on line with the BBC Orchestra. She's playing Scotiabank Arena just next week. I'm tempted to go.

Does anyone still say "there are" when introducing a plural? Does anyone even remember when people knew the difference between "there is" and "there are"? Is this like the lie/lay battle, which is to say already lost?

At this precise moment (more or less) three different Bitcoin guys (it's in each of their handles) are arguing over Mark Zuckerberg's Big Stupid Boat. It's hilarious.

Helpful note for various people on TV and elsewhere: "Air quotes" are only "air quotes" if you use your fingers in conversation. In the air. In print, they're just quotes or to go old school: "quotation marks." Thank you for your attention in this matter.

I finally watched Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible Part 1. I can see why Stalin liked it. It glorifies a ruthless leader out to unite "all the Russia" and subjugate every nation around it as if it's somehow owed to him. The weirdest part is watching it while Trump is US President.

So if US AG Pam Bondi responds to a Congressman in a public hearing with: "You don't TELL me anything, you washed up lawyer!" what TF must she be like to work FOR?

If by 2050 it's proven manmade climate change was a hoax or a bout of hysteria, then I promise (if I'm still alive) to apologize to every shill, bot, liar, grifter and egomaniac who says it is. Till then they can all fuck off and I'll block them whenever they pop up.

Remember, folks. If you travel through the US south and someone serves you really bad grits? Try to avoid ad hominies.

Jennifer Erin Valent 🇺🇸🇺🇦 In the Gospel, wasn't Jesus tempted by Satan with rule over the kingdoms of the earth and Jesus rebuked him? Did I read that right?

Goddamn. I've discovered two great songs todaty thart I should have known forever. Roger Miller's What I'd Give to be the Wind and Butthole Surfers' Pepper. There's no way I shouldn't know these already. But at least I know em now.♥️♥️♥️

46+ years later, I swear, every time I see The Warriors, Deborah van Valkenburgh is more beautiful, and more touching. "This is the life I got left" is a great line and that scene on the subway with the prom kids always gets me. Even more than the fight scenes.

People what they want to see. All I see is a pair of slimeball grifters suddenly on opposite sides. Not that I have a problem with that.

Hah! That one had me worried. Especially after blowing yesterday's totally. Wordle 1,709 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Except the epilogue: Where they all go back to being hired guns side by side and raking in the money. Happy endings all round.

Show the whole fight or fuck off, you dishonest prick. This was going around a year or so ago. The goose fought your precious eagle to a draw. The eagle finally got tired and went looking for easier prey. Google it if you don't believe me.
