YouTube video by auritone MST3K - Favorite Moments - Gorgo

People were posting Crow's version of the Edmund Fitzgerald song from MST3K's Gorgo ep to me yesterday, which I remembered well. But I'd totally forgotten that shortly before that I made a Robert Maxwell (father of Ghislaine!) joke. Weird.

They ALSO met THE DOCTOR (First Doctor) in Doctor Who. "The Gunfighters" 1966, Also a Third Season, but the 8th story.
The Earps and Doc are basically good guys in this. Ringo, etc are the scary baddies.

LOL Why, YES in the episode "Spectre of the Gun" 1968, Third Season, 6th episode.
The Earps and Doc are the baddies in that episode. Some people think this was influenced by Frank Waters' book.
I just thought it was because the Enterprise folk were in the Clantons' POV.

There's not an ounce of empathy in our current administration.

Jury acquits “sandwich guy.”

Jurors showed no appetite for the Justice Department's case against "sandwich guy," the D.C. resident who chucked a Subway sandwich at the chest of a federal officer, finding him not guilty Thursday after several hours of deliberations.

Administration hints furloughed workers may not be paid after shutdown Agencies are sending messages indicating that workers who are on the job will be paid when the government reopens — with no mention of those on furlough, despite a 2019 law protecting their wages.

Breaking news: The Trump administration is sending messages to federal staff suggesting only those who are working during the government shutdown will be paid when it ends, despite a 2019 law that guarantees pay to furloughed employees, too.

Trump: Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to "perform" live in the history of television. In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise. I watched his show the other night for the first time in years. In it he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults. On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic. Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this??? - NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!! 26 ReTruths 85 Likes 11/1/25, 1:01 PM

Trump sets his sights on Seth Meyers.

“NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!”

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

The US president said he has ordered the defence department to resume testing nuclear weapons ‘on an equal basis’ with Russia and China. It was not immediately clear what type of test he was referring to on.ft.com/47MxQl3

The nuclear test news is really hitting my 80s kid trauma.

If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists.

Virginia State Senate Dems just brought down fire and fury regarding the “Compact,” notifying the President and Rector that UVA would lose ALL STATE APPROPRIATIONS if it signs and cedes the University to “federal political control.” Notably, their letter directly restates points made here by @siva.
