Yeah, I'm not a fan. The furthest that I'd go for him is saying that he should not be considered a reality show contestant. The last time he was on a show was 2002. I think he's over his head. I also figure he and Rachel would stand to make more money if they did a series for TLC. I'm sure that they meet the minimal amount of children the network requires to warrant a show.

Why won’t he go away? I know, we’d be stuck with Vance and a party in charge that believes in absolute cruelty . . . but if HE leaves, sane Americans would be happy for about five minutes. Maybe ten.

Hey, a Challenge episode airing on MTV that runs less than an hour long! Pinch me! Here's my main takeaway from the first episode: "Shut up, Adam. Shut up, Adam. SHUT UP, ADAM! SHUT THE FUCK UP, ADAM!! YOU SCREWED STEVE, HE MADE A MOVE AGAINST YOU. FUCKING ADULT UP AND LIVE WITH IT!!!" And he's shacked up with Averey. She seems nice, so I take that as evidence that we live in a cold, unfeeling universe. Katie & Veronica being a tandem would've been awesome if it happened in 2004. It's so funny . . . I actually felt bad for the Verantula when Julie tugged at her safety harness in Inferno, yet I wouldn't have had a problem if Katie had straight-up murdered her. Also . . . has Veronica always been that stacked? I think her partner is prone to getting concussions from that chest. Ye Gods. I was watching the episode on Facebook, and someone figured that Veronica was late because she was drinking wine. In my head: “Ms. Portillo, the plane landed two hours ago. At least take off your seatbelt.” Nicole has a girlfriend now. That ain't gonna last. Turbo continues to Turbo. I want to think of him from WOTW, playing Shohei Ohtani to Theo's Francisco Lindor. Here, he's just extra, and he barely tolerates Nany. You can practically read his mind. "Oh, lovely, the woman is close to tears once again. I would like to return home, where I can feast on human flesh and no one would be the wiser." Say what you want about Aneesa, but at least she's completed seasons. SHANE. My idea for a big twist: that's not Dario in the game . . . that's actually Raphy. Who would know? And who would actually care? Has Sam always been that . . . buff? I feel bad that she's holding Frank back . . . then I remember him belittling her, smacking her and lying about doing that even with video evidence. I'm not a fan of Frank . . . .that's what I'm saying. Why are you here, Leroy? You got a family now. You're basically Josh, in that the Challenge Gods (should they exist) salivate seeing you playing, getting ready to inflict all sorts of misery as you go for that first W.

There's been a collision between an American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter in DC. Only 47 more hours to go for January 2025.

*whimper* Why can’t the bad/sad man go away?

Nice. Wait .. . March?!? There might not be a republic by then! Drop the bombshells how!!!

I figure he was too broken and/or scared to put in “for once.” He does that, the faithful come for him with paper-mache guillotines. If he’s lucky. Quick question, not political: why would people not root for the Eagles in the Super Bowl? They got Saquon Barkley with them now. A win for Philly means another reason to point and laugh at the Giants for not keeping him. I get a hate for the Chiefs . . . familiarity breeds contempt, Mahomes is approaching rarified air at too young an age, and they always get the calls to go their way. I’d add the fans doing the whack-ass tomahawk chop chant, but I don’t think that’s a priority.

Is it bad to hope that this guy was immediately doxxed and chased out of whatever hovel he was living in? Meanwhile, I hear a few Senators are giving RFK Jr. the business today. Is it sad that the goal is to NOT have that guy in charge of our health, even if it means another Trumpanista in that role that's actively out to ruin us?

“Apparently, he’s not dead. He just looks that way.”

*sigh* I caught the episode tonight. It just doesn't feel like a huge priority like it was before for me. *double sigh* Didn't Pam have the plant powers when she was a kid? As revealed via flashback in S2? Meh . . . . it doesn't matter, I don't want to be pedantic, and we get something a lot closer to her canon origin with Jason Woodrue. Oh, and Harley has trouble with King Shark's rambunctious offspring. Cute in some areas, but I wasn't feeling it.

Current events have been bumming me out. I'm just waiting for the inevitable news that the Dodgers found a way to acquire Juan Soto without the Mets being able to do jack about it. I'm also getting tired by the lack of movement on the Pete Alonso front. I just want an ending already.

Watching The Daily Show. I see that Trump still believes that press secretaries are there to belittle the previous administration. Hey, at least she didn't lie about the crowds that attended the inauguration . . . or the crowds that would have attended had he not moved those indoors like the shysty so-and-so that he is. Speaking of press secretaries . . . .has Sarah Huckabee Sanders said or done anything ignorant in the past two weeks? She's second-gen annoying. I think her dream in life is to open a comedy club with her father. They'd call it "Chucklebees." He'd spend an hour on material that would make Cliff Claven look like a Def Jam comedian, she'd spend the next two hours telling the audiences that he was indeed funny.

Here’s some good news: Gov. DeSantis is getting defied by his own party.

I saw this in the "most viewed" category. I have a theory: I think he might have a superpower. Basically, if you spend enough time around him, you become subservient to him. Lets say Clark Kent gets an exclusive interview with him for the Daily Planet, and that lasts about 2-3 hours. The next day, Superman would be grabbing anyone that "doesn't look American" and throwing them over the US/Mexico border. And I mean that he'd do it as far away as from Minnesota. Grab a guy, yeet them in the direction of south, they bounce harmlessly ten feet past the border. I've had that theory in my head for ages. If none of you think it's funny, I wouldn't blame you. I just want to make sense as to why so many people get into bed with this guy, even as everyone can see the crabs crawling from underneath the blanket.

One week. One week of this jerk, approximately 207 to go. That is, if we’re lucky.
