The far right calls me a pedophile because I didn't see SOUND OF FREEDOM. And the far left calls me a misogynist because I haven't seen BARBIE. So far, no one has accused me of hating water and fire because I didn't see ELEMENTAL. But I'm sure it's coming. This is, after all, social media, where one's own point of view is the only correct one.

I was born and raised and now live.
I just heard a news anchor say, "He died after a suicide attempt." But it wasn't just an attempt if he died!
Something about Kara Swisher makes me want to commit random acts of property destruction.
Two conspiracy mongers sat on a park bench when one had a heart attack. Next thing he knew, he was in Heaven, facing God.
God told him, “Your time has not come yet. Before I send you back to Earth, is there anything you’d like to ask Me?”
“Yes, Lord. Who won the 2020 election?”
God replied, “Joe Biden.”
When the man woke up, he was in a hospital bed with his friend standing next to it. He motioned the other man closer and whispered, “The conspiracy is deeper than we thought!”
Somehow I never got the message that I was supposed to "grow up." I never got married, I never had kids, and I never bought a house. And I find nothing duller than sitting in a roomful of people my age as they discuss their mortgages, their 401(k)s, their boats, their grandkids, reality TV, etc. Don't any of these people collect records or watch "Star Trek?" Geez!
Somewhere along the way, my generation became old and boring. I just hope I haven't.
So Hollywood's actors may soon join the writers in going on strike.
You mean, no more superhero movies?
No more "Fast & Furious?"
No more sequels, remakes and reboots?
No more movies based on video games?
No more soulless exercises in CGI?
No more brain-dead rom-coms?
No more IQ-lowering game shows?
No more sleazy reality programs?
No more grafting of contemporary standards onto earlier time periods?
My god! What ever shall I do? Start reading books? Perish the thought!
Just held the door open for an elderly Japanese man. He smiled at me and said, "Sank you!" I don't why he had to bring up Pearl Harbor.
Q: What do you get when you cross an aardvark with a penguin?

I've re-watched the original "Star Trek" series and have reached the following conclusions about the episodes:
Best: "The City on the Edge of Forever"
Worst: "Assignment: Earth"
Underrated: "The Empath"
Have Not Held Up Well:
1) "The Omega Glory." An exercise in flag-waving, anti-Communist jingoism.
2) "The Turnabout Intruder." It's the 23rd century, but Starfleet does not allow women to be starship captains? Right.
Last night, I visited a karaoke bar. The lion's share of the singers belonged to Gen Z. Yet, they consistently performed songs from my youth--and I'm 57. That doesn't say much for popular music of the least 25 or so years, does it?
