German Shepherd watching my wife eating potato chips, while Deadwood plays on TV behind her

Sandy finds mum eating potato chips much more interesting than Deadwood on TV, alas

Given De Niro isn’t in The Godfather (1972), its omission from this list is unsurprising 🧐

The choice of this production photo does the serial no favours

Typhoo, surely

The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.

A favourite movie of parents and grandparents, getting older only makes me appreciate the deft sight gags and wry world-view of Jacques Tati even more. 1971's Trafic wasn't a hit at the time, but it's a sweet swan-song for his Monseiur Hulot character. 4 out of 5.

“Radio” is very on point for you

Meme farms

I've noticed in a lot of those hardcore liberal accounts that their followers to interactions radio is off. They'll have thousands of followers and maybe a dozen likes max on their posts, usually only a couple, if any on most of them

Not saying it's bot followers but something is off

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

Headline from the AFR "Time to end welfare for the wealthy, says big business"

You mean the superannuation tax breaks? No?
You mean the CGT discount? No?
You mean the fossil fuel subsidies? No?
You mean the free gas for multinationals? No?
You mean the failure of the PRRT? No?
You mean the tax dodging trusts? No?
You mean the lack of a wealth tax? No?

No you mean the NDIS FFS

Before you commit to a dog name, go outside at 6:30 AM with no bra on and see how it feels begging that name to poo.

You be you, but I imagine some will be buying this solely for the grain-of-rice sized Metebelis crystal

Eight days ago this post (bsky.app/profile/k1n6...) showed up and all the comments had me in my feelings because I love the book and the movie. One reply mentioned this collection. This book is expensive as heck (if you're me) but thanks to @strandbooks.com I found a copy for $8.50!!

Victoria disappearing into the distance on a scanner is among my fading memories, tho more likely from the reprise in Wheel in Space #OldFart

Telesnap images from the final moments of the 1968 Dr Who story ‘Fury from the Deep’, showing the departure of companion Victoria Waterfield (Deborah Watling) from the Tardus crew.

OTD 1968. Jamie & the Doctor bid a sad farewell to Victoria Waterfield, as ‘Fury From the Deep’ draws to a close.
Still works wonderfully as an audio only experience - but fingers crossed that one day we’ll be lucky enough to have this returned & delight in Hugh David’s carefully framed visuals..

Starlog magazine was created by Kerry O’Quinn and Norman Jacobs in 1976 with an early focus on Star Trek and Space 1999 until of course Star Wars came along the following year. It was published until 2009.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Accidentally referred to Sid & Nancy Krofft yesterday, & now I want to see their version of H.R. Pufnstuf,

70s porn was better than any other period. It had good lighting, eye catching decor, came up with all the tropes and music, and actually had some humour.

There are a few notable examples (Flesh Gordon being the most famous) of such films having most of the hardcore stuff edited out for release in the mainstream. Unimaginable in any other era.
