We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Didn't realize he was in this one, and also had forgotten it was directed by Penny Marshall, a great director of actors. LOVED Dexter in 1986’s β€œβ€™Round Midnight” directed by Bertrand Tavernier. His speaking voice is something to hear!

Exactly! Sadly, Americans are the least traveled people on Earth. Once you get outside of the U.S., you realize it is great other places and not everyone is dying to come to the States. πŸ™„

Picture of an ancient can of β€œBernard Dehydrated Water” with the instructions "Empty contents into one gallon of water.” Possibly the first Dad joke.

Today is the four year anniversary of the barbaric full scale invasion against the peaceful people of Ukraine.

Peaceful, until roused to defend themselves….

@therookieabc.bsky.social on ABC (who have posted here once) has a great ensemble cast and… the most insane weekly plots. Did their creators never see β€œHomicide” or β€œHill St. Blues”?
