Thanks for your watchful eyes - here's an update before I leave for a week for holidays: We have a very belated QO from the NYT for Hutton Gibson, giving Sir Creep a unique hit. Another unique hit, but for Gooseberry Crumble with Bonnie Pointer. Another unique hit for Banana with Jerry Sloan, and finally, a 4th unique hit for DDT with Ian Taylor.

Classic one-hit wonder whose career was ended as it began, with the usage of the song in the movie. She became a taxi driver eventually, and is still alive (for our purposes).

Now "Gone with the wind" is removed from HBO max: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-52990714 I don't know.... this is missing the point. The consideration of the context is disappearing. "Little Britain" is satire, and in the words of Germany's greatest satirist Kurt Tucholsky "What is satire allowed to do? Everything." I mean, in that show, everyone gets their fair share. And "Gone with the Wind"... well, it's schmaltzy drama. And maybe even more revealing than it wants to be. The historical facts are indisputable. The Southerners DO romanticize the whole slavery lifestyle. The Southern Pride/resistance immediately morphed into the Ku Klux Klan. And ironically, the spoiled southern belle Scarlet O'Hara ends up with nothing.

Oh wow, that picture is really poorly done. The Queen's lighting looks like she's being inside - not in the sun.

They should also posthumously revoke Luise Rainer's Oscar for The Good Earth. And ban Murder By Death.

John Lewis has good days and bad days, but "is improving": https://people.com/politics/john-lewis-pancreatic-cancer-update/ Pretty much what Alcee Hastings said at the end of last year.

J K Rowling now in TERF-territory: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/08/entertainment/daniel-radcliffe-responds-jk-rowling-trans-tweets-trnd/index.html The ire of a radical trans*activist - enough for her own thread? It has to happen eventually.

After I wasted several Cup slots and a Hare's slot on him, I gave up. But sometimes a little more patience pays off.

Lololol... agree with Joey

Derek Draper to be in a coma forever? Maybe it's time to pull the plug! https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/11795984/kate-garraway-husband-derek-coma-coronavirus-2/

Bucket of Blood held on to her after she lasted all through 2019. Her husband is a minor football star, captain of his minor league team. Let's see if it's enough. This year, she isn't a unique pick.

So my trip through the city today was heavily impacted by the global shitshow. Graffiti about police violence and "G. Floyd keep fighting". Traffic disruptions because of demonstrations, the overcrowded "silent demo" clashing with the anti-Corona / Corona-conspiracy demos. Our nazis are having a "White Lives Matter" demonstration. Why are we importing America's problems? Especially now?

I'm reading he's responsible for research against hydroxychloroquine AND that he's behind the George Floyd protests. I give it about a month until the name Soros appears in a Trump speech.

So I've started Stephen King's The Stand. After about 120 pages, the plot slowly starts moving.

Yep, YOUREOUT got him.

I wonder if one can be a Baby boomer and black. I mean, being a boomer is not necessarily about age, it's a way of life..
