Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature
YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature

The interview 47's FCC didn't want Stephen Colbert to run during last night's episode of The Late Show, or even talk about it.

Colbert, having examined his field of fucks and found it barren, talked about it on the show before posting the entire interview to YouTube.

Oh, sure. Throw THAT in my face, whydontcha.

I lived there when I was very young (my father was a Marine stationed at Pearl Harbor), and then I went back a few times while on active, myself. I'm long overdue for a return.

Final edits for TO DEFY FATE, my upcoming #StarTrekPicard novel, are reviewed and approved. It'll soon be on its way to the printer, then on to bookstores and (hopefully) those of you who read or listen to such things.

You can see what I've been fussing about on or about April 28th.

The Eagle Obsession | A Jeffrey Morris Film The Eagle Obsession is a feature-length documentary that investigates the origins of Space: 1999's Eagle and its ongoing global impact.

Was finally able to watch this tonight. It's a wonderful tribute to the making of one of science fiction's most iconic space vehicles. I'm just about the same age as the film's director, Jeffrey Morris, and the Eagle landed for 8-year old me the same it apparently did for him back in September 1975.

Borrowing an idea from a friend on Facebook, my pick for this year's Super Bowl MVP:

Shane Falco. Quarterback. Washington Sentinels. Not afraid to neck with the cheerleaders.

Hey. It's a write-in vote. Sue me.

As @dragonroar87.bsky.social said, novels like this (along with other types of fiction like comics, role playing games, etc.) are licensed, reviewed, and approved by the IP owner. And we get paid for such works.

I'm 99.9% certain what I delivered earlier today were the final notes on the galley pages for TO DEFY FATE, my #StarTrekPicard novel due in stores on or about April 28th. If all goes to plan, the next time I see it likely will be when I open a box of copies at Ward Manor.

Steve Austin and Bigfoot, facing off in "The Secret of Bigfoot" from The Six Million Dollar Man.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the biggest TV confrontation since Kirk fought the Gorn: Steve Austin against Sasquatch in the first half of "The Secret of Bigfoot," the classic 2-part episode of THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN.

Little 9-year old Dayton was pretty captivated that evening, you know.

Sheldon Cooper holding up his bowling shirt and pointing to the team name: "The Wesley Crushers."

Went to a local eatery last night and they were doing a BIG BANG THEORY trivia game. Except for Youngest's friend, none of us had seen an episode in years and we still ended up coming in second. Not bad.

Oh, and our table's team name?

Everybody knows the Moon was blasted out of orbit in 1999 and what we see in the sky is a projection by Jewish space lasers.

Artemis is just the cover story for a mission to go recalibrate the projectors.

Do your own research, people.

Dedication to the Challenger crew at the beginning of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home: "The cast and crew of Star Trek wish to dedicate this film to the men and women of the spaceship Challenger whose courageous spirit shall live to the 23rd Century and beyond....

40 years ago today, we lost the Space Shuttle Challenger and its crew of seven astronauts.

Released on November 26, 1986, #StarTrek IV: The Voyage Home was dedicated to the Challenger crew.
