France 24. Borders are closed to non-EU travelers. France is trying to avoid another lockdown. In Madrid, Spain, the situation looks bleak. The COVID-19 infection rate is almost four times higher than in Paris. So, why go there? It's liberating to be in a restaurant: French tourists escape to Madrid. Cette semaine, l'invité du Paris des Arts est Raphaël Pichon, jeune chef d'orchestre et fondateur de l'ensemble de musique baroque, Pygmalion. Aussi, l'œuvre du peintre Julien des Monstiers.

Ari Melber talks with former Republican Party politician Michael Steele and rapper Marlon Craft about a new song challenging clichés about unity. This segment on MSNBC was the most viewed online of the week. 2.5 M views! WOW! This is State of the Union (VIDEO) by Marlon Craft.

The weather in Doha, Qatar: 77°F with a mix of clouds and sun. What a tiny nation! Micronations! They are formed for various reasons, many for pure entertainment in the age of the internet. Travel Awaits: The 4 Tiniest Countries In The World And How To Visit Them. I like the story of the Kingdom Of Talossa (Talossan: Regipäts Talossan) - founded in 1979 by then 14-year-old Robert Ben Madison of Milwaukee. Chirluscha àl Glheþ Stand Tall, Talossans!

Stand tall, Oberlinians! This is the Kingdom of Oberlin - a trailblazing sovereign nation tucked in the American state of Ohio! Motto: Live - Learn - Lead. Population: 8,286. Ministry of Transportation: astral projection and WiFi. French: Le Royaume d’Oberlin. German: Das Königreich Oberlin. Finnish: Oberlinin Kuningaskunta. I always felt that Oberlin was an English-speaking exclave of Switzerland. It has a taste of Europe with its coffee shops and bakeries. But it seems too quaint and beautiful to be an ordinary town of Ohio. And the flag of the UN flies downtown.

Tappan Square is known for its painted rocks. The students of Oberlin College are really creative... much to our enjoyment.

While Jonah and the Bots are playing Marco Polo, Kinga prepares to meet with her internet boyfriend, magician Neville LaRoy (played by Neil Patrick Harris). They sing a beautiful duet: Our Love Is on Wings (You Can't See). Watch MST3K: Avalanche.

Next: Call Me by Your Name. The song that Elio plays on the piano at Oliver's request: Johann Sebastian Bach - Capriccio in B-flat major.

I don't know why I torture myself... It's the scene where Elio is sitting in front of the fire. The feelings of pain, grief, sorrow and confusion flow through me as I watch his expressions. The film premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival on January 22, 2017. The film began a limited release in the United States on November 24, 2017, and went on general release on January 19, 2018. To relieve some emotional tension, I turn on WTSQ. Perfect! Love the sassy electric-pop, dance-punk band The Ting Tings. Turn on Stephanie Miller. She interviews Matthew Miller - former flack for the Department of Justice. He's smart! They talk about the nomination and confirmation process for President Biden’s cabinet. I like Travis' Superman shirt and Steph's I Really Do Care shirt.

Weather in Oberlin: 20°F with a few flurries. Don't Hibernate: Manage stress with physical activity this winter. Dressed up in layers, I survive a 50-minute round trip walk to Tappan Square. A swing!

Morning movie - Conan the Destroyer. The battle with Thoth-amon is hilarious! The monster swinging Conan around! It's 25°F... much cooler than yesterday. It snowed a little last night.

Strong words from Chris Cuomo. It's sad that so many Republicans are willing to sacrifice the country for party. If Trump isn’t stopped it’s only going to get worse. Didn’t they learn that a year ago? Schiff told them and no one listened. Then our Capitol was attacked. A policeman murdered. Cuomo: When will you learn NOT to pet the snake? Exactly! Sorry! Where is Christopher today? Is he wearing a mask?

dinsdag 26 januari 2021

Jack Harper confronts the AI monster Sally. Before he destroys her, he tells the story of Horatius. How can a man die better / Than facing fearful odds. I love the interior of The Tet.

Falling back on an old friend. KUOW is my NPR station today. Just want to hear Seattle's weather. They give us Updates on COVID-19, but this report grabs my attention: Rep. Raskin Will Lead Democrats Tasked With Arguing For Trump's Conviction.

It's a cold wet day. Order some hot, spicy food from The Mandarin. Bike thru the freezing drizzle. Back home. Turn on MSNBC. Biden Orders 200 Million Additional Doses Of Covid-19 Vaccine.

maandag 25 januari 2021 Midnight movie - MST3K: Radar Secret Service... My favorite part is the funny short Last Clear Chance - a stern lecture on the dangers of carelessness at railroad crossings. Now you will experience the full POWER of the Dark Side. Palpatine looks extra evil in this scene in Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith.

More movies! MST3K: Teenage Cave Man. Next time, remember to bring more spears for the monster fight.

It's a gray day in Oberlin. It's 33°F and calm. The Sun is trying to come out. I have Tappan Square to myself. Feeling lonely.

The Faces Of COVID-19 In Chicago: Remembering Those Who Died Of Coronavirus on CBS 2 Chicago. 100 stories. I look at all these faces, and I love them. Some are smiling, some in uniform, some young, some old. Bless their souls.

Sad Mar-a-Lago. Members are quitting Mar-a-Lago because it has become a 'sad' and 'dispirited' place since Trump moved in. It's a Henry Danger day. Watch out for exploding mints!

Man! He has Powers & Abilities! He was indestructable for a couple days... along with his fire breath. Hyper Motility is cool!

zaterdag 23 januari 2021

zaterdag 23 januari 2021 19°F I can't believe it. It's so cold.

What warms me up? Distruction. Massacre. The War of the Worlds!

The War of the Worlds Theatrical Trailer from Paramount. Tanner Buchanan is one of my favorites on Cobra Kai. 40 pounds on each and doing jumping jacks?!? Amazing, kid.

vrijdag 22 januari 2021 With Joy Reid, I can relive the inauguration. Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman stole the show: That is the America that won and defeated the ugly forces of January 6th. Midnight movie - X-Men: The Last Stand. Your powers won't work with me. -Jimmy to Kitty. Leech (born Jimmy) is a mutant who has the ability to nullify the powers of other mutants when they come near him. Magneto wants to kill him. Kitty Pryde tries to protect him.

Double the X-men! Late, late movie - X-Men: Days of Future Past. The Sentinels are relentless. They are armed with very scary high-powered chain guns. Nice dream about staying at an expensive, luxurious hotel in San Francisco. Great views of Coit Tower, the Transamerica Pyramid, the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island!

Up to Johnny's to get some Tanqueray. Man! It's chilly. Nice to be back in my warm apartment. Sit back and relax with Piranha 3DD. Please! God! No, Jean-Luc Bilodeau! Don't succumb to temptation!

Never reveal the secret that Captain Man is Ray Manchester and Kid Danger is Henry Hart! Just don't!

CNN's Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon interview him about speaking at the inauguration. You gotta admire this young man's courage. Nice to hear Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing. It seems apropriate today. Thanks, Stevie Wonder for those words. Come on. Everybody needs a change. A chance to check out the new, yeah. You're the only one to sees the changes you take yourself through. Benvolio: I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword. Or manage it to part these men with me. Act 1, scene 1 of Romeo + Juliet.

Romeo: Did my heart love 'til now? Forswear its sight. For I never saw true beauty 'til this night. How romantic.

After 4 years of crap, I am so happy celebrate with those wonderful musicians. The Foo Fighters struck me to the core.

Compassion is just what America needs after a year of pandemic hell and four years of the worst administration in history! 400,000 dead. Midnight movie - MST3K: Teenagers From Outer Space. Young Derek is going to zap his comrades with his ray-gun - an Atomic Disintegrator. Ah! He wouldn't harm a fly.

The Spacecraft Captain and Thor are fascist jerks! When we return to our planet, the high court may well sentence you to *torture* and death for your treason. Fly back to your planet!

Democracy has prevailed says Joe Biden in his first speech as president of the United States. Inaugural snow walk. I'm listening to the prayers, songs and speeches on my iPhone while walking through the freshly fallen snow.

Weather in Oberlin: 26°F and partly cloudy. In Washington DC, it's 44°F, partly cloudy and windy. You can see the flags on the National Mall whipping around. What a beautiful view!

dinsdag 19 januari 2021

dinsdag 19 januari 2021 Morning movie - MST3K: Starcrash. Marjoe Gortner, Christopher Plummer and David Hasselhoff in the same movie? It's entertaining and campy. You have to admit, if you like campy science fiction movies as I do, this is definitely one of them. Hasselhoff with all that hair!

It's the last day for Trump. CNN: Trump set at least 1 record as president... Trump ends his term with the lowest average job approval rating - 41% - of any president in the last seven-plus decades, according to Gallup. Trump has lied a lot. CNN reporter Daniel Dale says these biggeest lies could define his legacy. Fact Check: The lies that will define Trump's legacy. Heh. Lemon almost said you can’t make this sh*t up.

Late, late movie - Jane Fonda as Barbarella. You mean, they could still be living in a primitive state of neurotic irresponsibility? Barbarella - a lovely space-traveller and representative of the United Earth government - is sent to find an evil scientist Durand Durand. It's true that the English new wave band Duran Duran named themselves after the wicked doctor. I had to play Save A Prayer. Out for a little bike ride in the morning. I like how the snow floats by me. It makes me feel like flying thru the stars in the galaxy.

I've watched many kids programs on Netflix, but I discovered an American superhero comedy television series by Nickelodeon called Henry Danger. It's a little hyper but enjoyable. It stars Jace Norman as Henry Hart / Kid Danger and Cooper Barnes as Ray Manchester / Captain Man. I love it when Henry says UP THE TUBES! This is Jace Norman having a Magic Mike moment (while watching FOX News?). Time to earn your keep, kid! -Mike Martingano.

France 24 - Operation Warp Speed: How US Covid-19 vaccination plan became politicised.

Our world has reached a heart-wrenching milestone: the COVID-19 pandemic has claimed 2 million lives. U.S. on high alert ahead of Inauguration Day.
