When I asked the question, I was thinking of the moon landing. Nixon's resignation probably counts, even though it happened in a time where actions had consequences. I don't know if Live Aid would rank at the top. USA For Africa? Not really a moment, but didn't we us Americans all know the words to "We Are The World" at some point? I kinda wish Biden's pardons had to be public. I imagine him yesterday in front of the press corps, rolling his eyes as he sprinkles Dr. Fauci with water straight from the bottle. It's twisted that people had to get pardons for doing their jobs . . . and even then, they'll probably be hounded on a regular basis.

Thinking about it, I figure Elon was trying to do the Ancient Roman thing with his arm . . . but you know what? It's close enough to the one we're all thinking of. And if you say that out loud and get crap for it, remind people about FNC talking heads "interpreting" Obama's fist bumps as something beyond obscene. That's what I would have wanted. That is what I currently want. Why can't Democrats devote their future to gumming up the works and making the big step backwards less and less easy? The moral high ground means nothing these days. Great on her. She'll probably be kept out of the next SOTU . . . and if she goes, she'll be hustled out as soon as she breathes wrong. This will be in contrast to MGT in full MAGA regalia taunting Biden last year. I haven't seen televised highlights from today, but the stuff I read pisses me off.

I didn’t think of that. I don’t know if it was “big” enough, but it didn’t fall into my rules, and I don’t feel like making one saying “no concerts.”

Going to YouTube, searching “Elon Musk, raised arm,” playing video from PBS NewsHour, and yep, he did that. Of course he did. Elon Musk exists solely to counter all the good Nelson Mandela did in his life.

Am I naive for thinking he wasn’t doing that? That’s just an unfortunate arm angle coming from the worst thing to come out of South Africa since Oskar Pistorius. Or should I keep Tim Walz in my heart and refer to Elon as “dipshit”?

I just asked a question for the public on Facebook, but I know that I’ll get responses here. When was the last time that the United States were truly united, even if it was for a brief period? Here are my rules: No tragedies (9/11, Oklahoma City, Challenger) No deaths (bin Laden, Hussein) No sporting events (Miracle on Ice, USWNT winning World Cups)

That happened? Even though I was warm and cozy in my bed? Damn. Aside from protocol, why should she be there? My best guess is that she knows it drives MAGA insane (more so, really) that she hasn’t been incarcerated, something that was heavily promised from 2015-2016.

I think my Venom analogy fits better, but thanks for thinking of me! Man, Doffy is just the absolute worst, isn't he? And he is also surrounded by folks that will do anything for him. I really hope YKW doesn't have a Sugar.

Maybe he'll throw something out. It could be anything . . . I'm not picky.

Another season ends, another reunion shown over three hours in two weeks, and it could just as easily aired for sixty minutes. Thanks, MTV! I was going over stuff online today, and I was reminded that Amanda was on the cast. My feeling is that MTV needed some sizzle, grabbed Amanda from her house, quickly went through the nearest Frederick's of Hollywood, then dropped her off at the studio. You might not like this . . . after the premiere of All Stars: Rivals, Devin will be on Ridiculousness. Technically, the new season is All Stars: Rivals. Different franchise. This time, it'll be run on MTV and not just on Paramount+.

“Hey, Donald! Wow, I did not think you’d be here again. Listen, I just want you to know there are no hard feelings about you hounding me most of my eight years in office. Here are some blankets. Even in the White House, it’ll still be awfully chilly! And don’t tell anyone I gave these to you.” The 250th, the Los Angeles Olympics, and I forgot about the World Cup this country will be cohosting in 2026. That’s . . . lovely. I’d root for the USMNT to botch qualifying, but they have an automatic entry.

I don’t think anyone truly big was there. I remember 3 Doors Down (“Kryptonite”), but that’s about it.

*sigh* I’m surprised the big song isn’t “Macho Man.” You know, because their hero swings it from his knees. Trump and the Republicans are in a symbiotic relationship. The GOP ensure that Trump is always at the top. Everyone has to listen to whatever passes through his mind, and he is the birthday boy every single day. Trump enables Republicans, allowing them to fulfill all their reactionary wishes, no matter how many people it would hurt. If you’re into comic books, this should sound familiar. The GOP is Eddie Brock, Trump is the icky black goop. Basically, they are Venom. And I mean the old-school Venom . . . the one that set out to make Spider-Man’s life miserable.

Ugh, thanks for making me feel old. Like I don’t have enough reminders. ”. . . and just in time, here comes dumbass Ashy Larry!” Good times, man. Good times.

Longest monologue ever? There’s going to be a lot of cut sketches going online. I can’t imagine this getting condensed for the 10 p.m. repeat next week.
