FEELING BLUE? Once Upon A Time... no way I'm paying to keep this to appease the new boss's vanity and mismanagement of this platform. But see, it's still me :))

Sending condolences to the family of Robert Mueller. A combat veteran and patriot who served our country and stood for the values we all share as Americans. Rest in peace.

@JasonRedmondLA @inglorioustrek How much do you want to take this down and burn all the copies :))

Bionic Showdown: The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman (1989). This was one of three TV movies bringing Lee Majors and Lindsay Wagner together to reprise their bionic roles. It also features Sandra Bullock in one of her first TV appearances.

🚨BREAKING: Armed suspected ICE agents are now grabbing young women outside college fraternities… Yesterday, a young woman was surrounded by armed men and taken, outside a fraternity house, at the University of Washington… And we need to stop pretending this is normal. Armed men grabbing a woman in public, and refusing to identify themselves, is exactly what we teach women to fear… and now the government is normalizing that, and calling it “law enforcement.” And this doesn’t just affect one person… it lowers the safety of every woman, on every campus. Because now, there’s no clear line between law enforcement and a predator. If unidentified men can take a woman from a dorm, a campus, a fraternity… then any man can pretend to be ICE and do the same thing, and that confusion is exactly what predators rely on. But, it gets worse… ICE has a pattern of detaining people they shouldn’t, then releasing them without belongings, without support, sometimes far from where they were taken… Now, apply that to a college student… away from family, in an unfamiliar place, suddenly without a phone, ID, or any way to get home. ICE agents are illegally taking whoever they can… and every time people excuse it, the line moves further. Because the second a country normalizes masked armed men grabbing any women in public, especially college students, and refusing to identify themselves… That’s not only NOT public safety… it’s actively putting every woman at risk.

WB film chief Mike De Luca says the 45 awards season wins and 160 nominations for “Sinners,” “One Battle After Another” and “Weapons” are a “powerful affirmation” that original filmmaking is still alive: “It reaffirms our belief that original stories crafted for the big screen are as vital and electrifying today as they were when Warner Bros. first began over a century ago.”

I know Star Wars is technically set in the past but I can't help but feel that George Lucas predicted the future by showing us a stupid trade war and a big fat slimy orange worm that forces itself onto women.

In the midst of a world that's gone to total shit, a glimmer of something positive. Can't wait!

The fact that grown adults find this to be not just acceptable but laudatory is extremely sick and its the sign of a culture in deep decline.

📺DEBUT: ‘The Incredible Hulk' premiered as a regular weekly series 48 years ago, March 10, 1978, on CBS

Tom Cruise shouts “we thank you George!” during George Lucas’ acceptance speech for his award at The Saturn Awards.

Great time at the @saturnawards with the Mount Rushmore of sci-fi legends: Lucas, Shatner, Cameron and Cruise. And Dr. Z.

It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.

WOW! Biden's former Secretary of State Todd Blinken on how the Israelis tried to get Biden to initiate a war, but he refused: "The Israelis were insisting that in the North, Hezbollah, and from Lebanon, was about to attack, and they wanted to strike preemptively against Hezbollah. President Biden said, ‘we will always be with you in defending Israel, but we’re not there if you are going to start something.’ And we came within about 30 minutes of having a war in the North based on bad information that the Israelis had about an imminent attack from Hezbollah. But Biden was very insistent."
