YouTube video by PBS NewsHour Trump faces fresh Epstein questions as new emails and files are released

Interesting day re: the Epstein controversy. One thing that shouldn't get lost among the focus on the current POTUS is that Epstein claimed that Clinton never visited the island. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bluw...

Interesting: if you are careful how you word things, even Grok admits that Biden won in 2020:

The events of Pluribus just happened. You're one of the few people on Earth to avoid the hivemind and the hivemind is just trying to greet you.

Just before he passed, he looked the car in the headlights and said, "The name's Gambit, mon ami. Remember it."

If you're a Canadian you need to see this new video from Juce media on LNG. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt6H...

This may only be a small bit of comfort to left wing Americans, but even in Canada people talk about Schumer's incompetence. He's not just seen as weak in his own country.

Gulf of Mexico - Wikipedia

I got curious and checked on what Wiki calls a certain southern North America body of water, and happily they've gotten the name right. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of...

Law enforcement will have to wear sandwich proof vests! It ain't safe for them anymore! They're going to get pepperoni sprayed!

I get why some people find centrism appealing as an idea (seeing both sides) but in practice it favours the wealthy over the working class. The right has had its chance. Time to give the bolder people on the left the opportunity to make changes that favour the working class.

At minimum that had no real effect on the election. At maximum Miller actually gave Mamdani some votes. You can't go wrong voting for anyone Miller doesn't like.

Democrats sweep key races in 2025 elections in early referendum on Trump Candidates from different wings of the Democratic Party won key races on Election Day 2025 in the biggest test since President Trump's victory last year.

This Canadian is proud of US voters today. Great work yesterday! www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

In the 2nd season of Agents of SHIELD, Coulson used the phrase "best worst option", i.e., picking the most palatable when you only have bad choices available. Compared to PP, Carney is the best worst option.

If you're an American and you oppose the current regime, then you give this Canadian hope for your country.

One great thing about living in a democracy is that it's *not* illegal to mock the head of state, be it a Prime Minister or a President. people.com/donald-trump...

YouTube video by Entertainment Weekly Rocky Horror Picture Show 50th Anniversary: Tim Curry, Barry Bostwick & Cast Reunite

Nice Rocky Horror Picture Show 50th anniversary interview with (left to right in video): Nell Campbell (Columbia), Barry Bostwick (Brad Majors), Patricia Quinn (Magenta), and Tim curry (Frank-N-Furter). Curry suffered a stroke a while back but his mind's still sharp. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fdE...

Appreciated as a Canadian. One thing I like about Bluesky is that there are fewer nasty Americans here so good Americans are seen more.

On Friday I got a message from Dragonfly Shipping that my package would arrive that day. I wonder when they'll make their first delivery attempt.

I don't post trivia to IMDb as much as I might otherwise for that reason. If I took the time to point out something that some people would find interesting I don't want to be "rewarded" by a bunch of people expressing their disinterest.

This evening if you live in Canada move your clocks back one hour. If you live in the US, move your clocks from 1939 to 2025 minus one hour.

14 years ago today I had an unexpected Halloween guest.

A question for anyone who's worked as cast or crew on a movie or show: When you watch something, are you able to enjoy it as any other viewer would, or do you find yourself thinking of the technical aspects that probably went into it?

I think next year I'll go back to just the COVID shot. I was always pretty fine with that one, but that flu shot seems to wipe me out.

Need helping figuring out the title of a movie I watched decades ago on VHS: it was a drama about prisoners doing a variety show. One sang "Screw... screw you this screw... it's me and you." Maybe dubbed from another language?? Does anyone know this movie?

I definitely want to see this movie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9oC...

For overall quality I love George Perez's run but it must be said that the original Marston/Peter era is a fun read and undoubtedly progressive by 1940s standards, even though some bits seem more kinky than progressive in 2025.

A small group of people and dogs showed up in the rain for the No Tyrants protest in Victoria BC in solidarity with No Kings Day.

I found out a bit more about Scotia's Miami trip promo (I never clicked on the email). It's actually to see a hockey game. Somehow a trip to Miami instead of a Canadian city to watch our national sport makes the contest even worse.

Dictator makes more sense. Kings at least have traditionally let court jesters mock them without retaliation.

I visited Dachau back in 2002 and took a course on the Holocaust at U of Victoria so I'm dismayed at what some young Reps are doing. While I don't think any topic's 100% taboo for humour it's important that any jokes about Nazism don't move society closer to that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=stIw...
