woensdag 30 april 2025 TRUMP DELIVERS 100 DAYS RALLY SPEECH! on Luke Beasley's channel. Booooooo! My reaction?  I'm dying! 😵‍💫

Jon Stewart is feeling very VERY tired after Trump's first 100 days.

into problematical darkness of an arcane world I rode on the back of a worm called Icondeath as it had been foretold... oh my God It's sushi and sake day! SAKE! SAKE! SAKE! SAKE! 😋 California rolls!

Nice to have a green view from my balcony. Thanks, Spring. ☘️ 🌻 🌷

dinsdag 29 april 2025 Canada PM Mark Carney celebrates election victory: Trump is trying to break us. Canada isn't the only country that feels betrayed by the United States. Trump's aggressive stance toward our traditional allies has strained diplomatic relationships and fostered an environment of distrust worldwide.

maandag 28 april 2025 Whiny Prince Senja's signature line (used in numberous MST3K episodes) I aaaaaaaaam a Grimwald warrior! Watch MST3K: The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent.

Luke Skywalker [exhausted]: I can’t. It’s too big. Yoda: Size matters not. Watch Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.

The Seattle Mariners beat the Miami Marlins 7-6 on Sunday. Nervous toward the last innings. The Mariners have won six straight series and 12 of their last 16 games. Yay Venezuelan infielder Leo Rivas.

Happy 21st birthday to bass god Koby Dhima of Mixed Up Everything!

zondag 27 april 2025 Dangerous! It's when Shang-Chi - a skilled martial artist and assassin - picks a fight with your toy cat. (For the last time!)

Shut up and let me go. This hurts, I tell you so. For the last time you will kiss my lips. Now shut up and let me go. The Ting Tings ‧ 2008. Troy Bond... Have you heard of him? He’s a stand-up comedian who is also a Star Wars nerd. Troy is often crude, vile and sexually perverted. I’m crazy about him! 😬 I was hoping that Troy would save this for May the 4th... He’s dressed up as Anakin Skywalker. His lightsaber is a phallic symbol.

United Planets Cruiser C57D, now more than a year out from Earth Base on a special mission to the planetary system of the great main-sequence star Altair. Watch Forbidden Planet.

zaterdag 26 april 2025 Watch movie - Head - starring The Monkees. Trippy little film. Cool scene where Micky Dolenz is walking through the hot desert, thirsty and sweaty. He encounters an empty pop machine. Then a troop of Italian soldiers surrenders to him.  How wacky! 😬

Baby hold on to me. Whatever will be, will be. The future is ours to see. So baby hold on to me. Thanks, Eddie Money. Your song was repeating over-and-over in my head during my bike ride.

Turn on Hal Sparks. Busy busy show talking about the crazy chaos in the White House and the Pentagon! Seriously?!?  The Johnny's cat looks so mellow getting a petting. Hey Foster 👋

vrijdag 25 april 2025 Having an MST3K-style Gamera marathon. 🐢

Zigra cracks me up! It looks a bit like a swordfish. Gamera vs. Zigra is one of the tackiest films from Daiei. I am a beautiful lifeform, and should have the right to rule over these beautiful oceans.

Waiting for the rain to stop. The weather is more mild than yesterday's.

I've never seen orange dahlias. These pretty flowers are on sale at Meijer. Special groceries: frozen shrimp and salmon burgers. Yum!

Kakistocracy: a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. Thank you, Jon Stewart. 💙🗽🇺🇸

donderdag 24 april 2025 Randi Rhodes announced she is stepping down from her show as she is getting medical treatment. I started listening to her when she started at Air America. The first political talk show I listened to, and followed her as she changed broadcast homes. Good-bye and good luck, Randi.

Cassian Andor: The Empire cannot win! Watch One Year Later and Sagrona Teema of Andor's second season.

Cassian's TIE fighter is cool, but he doesn't know how to fly it. That makes for hilarious hijinks. Allen talks about the advanced Avenger. Poor allen lost sleep watching all 3 new episodes at once.

woensdag 23 april 2025 Turn on France 24. We take a cultural stroll through Paris - literature, cinema, theatre, music and painting. For me, it's a nice change. Interesting interview with author David Foenkinos. In his new book, Tout le monde aime Clara (Everybody loves Clara), he explores his favorite themes: the right to a second chance, the fear of a blank page, and art at the heart of beauty.

Bike down to the Black River Landing. Will they have the International Festival in 2025? Tell me why there is only one flag flying?

Wind up the path to cruise around empty, pathetic downtown Lorain.

Since I'm critizing... Why can't they fly a Pride flag at the pavilion? 🏳️‍🌈 Check Ohio's LGBTQ Profile. Ohio tends to be very conservative and traditionalist. Forget about inclusivity. The rainbow vibe is LOW! 🌈

dinsdag 22 april 2025 While Canadians are known for their polite demeanor, they also have some slang terms that can be considered insults, often used in a playful or joking way. Some common examples include chucklehead, hoser, and keener. Canadians are getting creative and direct with the US. They're joking? Joke with some truth.

Today's color theme? RED! (Perhaps) Haiden Henderson is slaying it!

Wearing my Millennium Falcon shirt today (surviving since 2014)!

US stocks and dollar plunge as Trump attacks Fed chair Powell. The Dow lost a thousand points yesterday. Investors don't know what to do. Trump's plans for tariffs have driven a stock market sell-off and raised fears of economic recession. ITMFA! 😡

The next Secretary of Defense! Mayor McCheese! Thanks, Bob Cesca.

More M&Ms from Meijer. The best ones??? RED dark chocolate. 😋

maandag 21 april 2025 Let's start the day with a memorable quote from Watto. I'm a Toydarian. Mind tricks don't work on me. The Naboo Royal Cruiser is damaged. Why go from Naboo to Tatooine? Why? While Tatooine is a primitive planet, it is outside the influence of the stupid Trade Federation. Watto has the parts to repair the ship. It's fun to watch Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

In the Outer Rim, slavery seems to be a problem. Another memorable quote from Anakin Skywalker: I'm a person, and my name is Anakin.

The timing of this is quite stunning. Pope Francis Passes Away at 88.

The guys were on fire! Green Day Performs at Coachella 2025. Watch the American Idiot videos where they changed one of the title track’s lyrics to I’m not part of the MAGA agenda. And the crowd goes wild!

zondag 20 april 2025

zondag 20 april 2025 Sad. The epic adventure is over. Watch The Wheel of Time: He Who Comes with the Dawn. Josha Stradowski plays Rand al'Thor, a shepherd from Emond's Field who becomes the Dragon Reborn. He is declared the car'a'carn - the chief of chiefs (said in the Old Tongue). Please, oh, please! Let there be a Season Four!!

More trees are budding. A little chilly. Out for a little bike ride and some fresh air. Pick up some groceries. Someone wishes me Happy Easter, and I yell out rather defiantly May The Force Be With You!

Back home to start The Outer Limits marathon. The old black-n-white episodes are the scariest. For a young Martin Sheen, it was really a nightmare in Nightmare. The Ebonite Interrogator takes his voice. It Crawled Out Of The Woodwork. This episode gave me nightmares when I was a kid. In 2025, I'm back for more horror! An evil scientist has an energy entity for a pet. It pounces on people and instantly kills them. It's still a mystery how the monster was created.

Professor Ian Fraser: Eva! I'm falling! I'm falling! Next: The Borderland. You know? Strong magnetic fields can open up doors to different dimensions and alternate realities. (Not really.) It's sci-fi.

This episode Is SO DISTURBING It Will Keep You Up At Night... I dare you to watch The Zanti Misfits. Aliens insectoids the size of rats?!?!

zaterdag 19 april 2025 Teenage standup comedian Luke Abranches. I've been looking for an American version of Never Let Me Down Again. Watch The Outer Limits: The Human Factor. This episode takes place at a US military base in northern Greenland dominated by those instruments of detection which stand as a grim reminder of Man's fear of Man. Dr. Hamilton uses a revolutionary mind probe machine where he switches brains with Major Brothers. Will they re-exchange brains?

I'm obsessed with mysterious, lonely Greenland. Pituffik Space Base is located in northwest coast of that island in the  Arctic Circle. The base is notable for its opposition to Donald Trump's threats to invade its NATO ally, the Kingdom of Denmark, and annex Greenland.

With Google Earth, let's travel to Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland. Its population is 345, and it has been described as one of the most remote settlements on Earth. The wooden buildings are painted in an array of bright blues, reds, yellows and greens. Hanging on a coastal bluff of pink and grey gneiss (some of the planet’s oldest rock).

Hi, Hal Sparks! ✌🏼👋🏼👋🏼🫶🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂😆💋💫✨💫🫶🏼✌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼💋 He talks about Trump's malevolent, misaligned policy of deportation. Supreme Court blocks Alien Enemies Act deportation of Venezuelan men.

vrijdag 18 april 2025

vrijdag 18 april 2025 While watching France 24, I'm feeling enfin (finally). It's a breakthrough of diplomacy. US senator meets with wrongfully deported Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now, how about freedom (liberté)?!

And American far-right politician... Marjorie Taylor Greene is OK with heckling as long as it's coming from her big fat mouth. Remember Biden's State of the Union address February 7, 2023?

President Trump is a whole different deal. Luke Beasley explains.

donderdag 17 april 2025 Control voice: Here, in the bright, clustered loneliness of the billion, billion stars, loneliness can be an exciting, voluntary thing, unlike the loneliness Man suffers on Earth. Here, deep in the starry nowhere, a man can be as one with space and time; preoccupied, yet not indifferent; anxious and yet at peace. Watch Outer Limits: The Man Who Was Never Born.

Frosted-coated chocolate donut for breakfast. That's mine, Claudius.

Turn on Stephanie Miller via WCPT. They talk a lot about this amazing live (last night) interview... Exclusive: Senator Chris Van Hollen talks with Rachel Maddow live from El Salvador. Please, be safe! Gotta work off that donut. Need some fresh air and sunshine. 🌞

View of the Charles Berry Bridge. View of my bike. 🚴‍♂️ Nice weather.
