On Christmas Day-vid with good will-iams to men

As great a line as this is, the greater joy is in Spiner's reaction after he strokes Frakes's chin

now that megaman 12 has a release date we can finally confirm that clarissa explains it all takes place in the year 2027

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

CBSRMT never reached the heights of OTR quality, and you can tell from the schmaltzy story here. The commitment to five hour long shows a week was too much, with shows feeling padded out. But there is also a charm to CBSRMT, especially when the recording includes the original ads, as this one does.

I say it's a bit of a cheat because it is generally held that the golden age of OTR ended September 30, 1962 when Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and Suspense aired their final episodes on CBS. CBSRMT was an attempt to revive the format, led by Himan Brown who had produces tens of thousands of shows

Day 12 is a cheat. We jump forward to 1974 for CBS Radio Mystery Theater's "A Very Private Miracle." The story is a bit of play on A Christmas Carol, with a bitter old man finding the Christmas spirit, but instead of being visited by ghosts, he is visited by a young girl & a Santa suit

Throwback to the Xmas when I spoofed mobile game ads too accurately, and no one clicked on the video.

Saw a guy picking up a kid from the elementary school yesterday wearing a T-shirt with a drawing of a nun snorting coke on it so I feel a little better about not having shaved in a week and a half

Today in “Dudes Rock”:

A dude playing Dire Straits’s “Sultans of Swing” guitar solo on…a recorder.

tweet reading: GAME TRAILER: “Enter a world beyond belief...” ME: “Yes” GAME TRAILER: “An adventure like never before...” ME: “YES” GAME TRAILER: “Join your friends online” ME: “I’m out”

i stand by this statement every year

It's such an incredibly ugly movie, I just don't get it at all

Gen X got to grow up with the perfect Chuck Jones version and zoomers got the charming Cumberbatch version. Millennials pulled the short straw

The thing I understand least about millennials, including my otherwise wonderful wife, is the affection y'all have for the Jim Carrey Grinch film. Every second of that movie I see is so of putting and unpleasant that I think it has to be an elaborate bit you all agreed to as kids.

This has been stuck in my head all day

Alrighty then.

This is buck wild and an indictment of our history education. Marital rape was not a crime more than 50 years ago. The civil rights era was 60 years ago, so you're going back to early desegregation. The draft and the Vietnam war were just over 50 years ago

My take: Americans just incredibly thirsty to head back in time and make out with their Mom

If I was as rich as Mark Cuban I would not come on BlueSky so that a thousand lefties can punch me in the balls for being a total dumbass. I don't get off on that kind of abuse. So kudos to him for being so open with his masochism and doing the good work to normalize fetishes

I think we should pass a law that says if your net worth has more than 9 digits you go straight to prison until it goes below 8 digits. It would straighten out a lot of nonsense

Whoa whoa whoa, if the founders had wanted the Legislative to be able to overturn the will of the Executive they would have made them a co-equal branch of government. Hopefully the Judicial branch will sort out this overreach. Who told them they were allowed to create law anyway?

Has he ever been to a specialist and had his insurance company decide that it wasn't covered and gotten hit with a bill in the hundreds or thousands of dollars? Does he think the profit motive leads to a system focused on the best outcomes for patients? Why do so many people support Luigi?

Me going down stairs at work circa Dec 2018: Ow ow ow ow, why does my chest hurt?
My chest after percolating that sweet sweet estrogen for 6 months (voice is @socialistdogmom.bsky.social ):

The reason rich business owners hate single-payer is not because it would lead to worse outcomes. We already know that our current system is worse. It's because it no longer ties your health care to your job meaning that your employer has less leverage over you. It's ALWAYS about control

I'm not quote sleeting his anti-M4A idiocy, you can search for it if you want

It's important to remember that Mark Cuban is a dipshit and has not had to deal with the insurance system that normal people deal with in decades.

This MTV recording I found from an extremely golden age of 1994 is a time capsule of exactly specifically the last time the world existed before Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” as shown by this ominous trailer. Make of that what you will.

YouTube video by Old Time Radio Researchers Jack Benny - JB 1946-12-15 Exchanging Shoelaces

Next week Jack exchanged the shoelaces. Babe substitutes for her sister Mary who is out. Babe references Mary's famous flub, saying that she's going to go into a drug store and get a "chiss sweese" sandwich, & we find out what happened to Mel after Jack left the store last week.
