Corona tag.

Yeah, its had an impact on 36 posts and counting, so there's no use plugging my ears and humming.

So, I gave all the "infected", posts a corona tag, cuz I'm probably gonna want to look back on how this thing impacted my life, and what I was thinking about it.

Definitely wanna save the receipts on all the bullshit from assholes.
Definitely.
Yep.

Even more tag/label updates!

Last time, I migrated the Revisits, Social Media, and News tags all the way back to the beginning.

Now, I migrated Ghostbusters, Star Wars, and Freddy through all those same old Meedyah Morsels/Revisits/Social Media posts.

AND, I added Star Trek, Transformers, Evil Dead, Troma, Cult, Marvel, and DC tags, and migrated those through all the old posts too while I was at it.

Ahhhh, that's SO much better!
Now I can FIND this shit when I need it!!
Well, 100 times quicker, anyway.

More tag/label updates!

Last time, I got rid of categories in favor of tags going forward.

Well, now it's retroactive too!

Google just upgraded the control panel interface, and now it has a button that lets me add tags from the directory page without having to open each fucking post to edit it until my eyes bleed.

So, I migrated the Revisits, Social Media, and News tags all the way back to the beginning.

It's all covered now.

Course, even with the new tool to speed the process by a factor of 100, I still made my eyes bleed, cuz the blog is so fucking huge to handle now.

But, anyway, that's fixed now.

More fixes to come.

Tomorrow, I'll break it all up even more into news by individual movie franchises.

That's another thing I should have done from the very beginning, but once the blog got huge, I couldn't go back and fix it without practically dying.

Now, I can zip right through.

Stay tuned for that.

Lisbeth Salander TV series!

The first "Meedyah Morsel", since the post de-numbering.

Anyway, re: the headline, sounds good on paper, but....

...will it be good without Stieg Larson?

I mean "The Girl In The Spider's Web", was okay as a generic spy movie if you haven't seen the other ones, and it might get you into seeing the rest of them, but...I'm re-watching the original trilogy for the next "Isolation Marathon", and it's no fucking comparison.

This show is supposed to be all new adventures that make no reference to the originals, and...I dunno.
Without Stieg, can they re-capture the magic?

Like I said on Facebook, at least I hope they keep the jagged R rated edge, and have Lisbeth's favorite targets be rapists.
They sanitized the sex stuff away in "Spider's Web", and had Lisbeth be more like James Bond.
That's fun to watch, but the whole point of Lisbeth's thing is she hunts "men who hate women".
That's her deal.
Like Punisher fights the mob and street criminals, and Silver Surfer fights alien tyrants.

Course, this thing is gonna be on Amazon, so I won't be able to see it unless Youtubers do reaction videos or something.
Fucking Amazon won't put their shit on disk for me to buy, and I'm not paying for a fucking streaming service.

Aaanyhooo, I'll update the casting of Lisbeth #4 like I did for Clarice #3.

Clarice #3 down; Lisbeth #4, Batwoman #2, Spider-Woman, and She-Hulk to go.
Stay tuned!

Cats and chickens.

Yep, after Wembley's passing, it seemed the thing to do to collect all the pet stories.


Re-posted from here....

On the meatheads in my neighborhood.

August 19 at 4:29 PM

Couple nights ago, had the window open, was trying to sleep at 3 am, and some redneck morons drove by at wind-noise speed, and one of them screamed "go fuck!!!". 
"Go fuck"? 
That's what you came up with to scream at me? 
"Fuck you", has the same amount of syllables. 
Maybe it was "go fuck yourself", but the "yourself", got chopped off? 
No, it was just "go fuck". 
It only took me 5 seconds to come up with "go fuck your sister ass-to-ass with a double-ended dildo over your grandmother's tombstone and shit-cum on the engraving of her bucktoothed face". 
If I could think of that, surely they could have been more creative. 
No, this town is stupid, they really couldn't have. 
Anyway, I cursed at the cat, cuz it was his fault the window was open anyway. 
He sleeps there. None of this phased him. 
Maybe they were yelling "go fuck", at him. 
Yeah, I'm gonna go with that. 
They were mocking him for being neutered. 
Didn't seem to bother him. 
Anyway, thank you, Wembley, and insomnia for this stupid moment in my life.


Snoring Tribbles.

April 22, 2013.

Two snoring Tribbles on the blanket pile by my file cabinet to my left. 
Oh, it's coiled up cats. 
Well, same thing, really.


Myahoo.

March 30, 2014.

I guess I'm "myahoo", in kitty talk. He just can't hit that "k", sound in the middle.

And the update...

March 30, 2020

Aww, my little buddy. 
Miss him every day.


Chowing on his tail.

April 2, 2018.

So, this morning, Wembley chowed down on his own tail, and made himself scream. 
After a cat does something stupid like that, they try to play it cool, and make regal lion poses and shit. Ain't working, dummy. 
I remember that dumb thing you just did 3 minutes ago.


The chickens arrive.

April 20, 2018.

So, dad just added 4 baby chicks to the family. 
Road Island reds. 
They're ginger even as chicks. 
So far so good with Wembley not eating them. 
We'll see how this goes....


Staring at the chickens.

April 20, 2018.

Well, Wembley stared into the chicken box like a 3-D TV for 5 hours, but he finally got sick of it, and he's doing his normal routine again. 
I think we can breathe easy.


Wembley is over the chickens.

May 13, 2018.

Well, the chickens are outside in their coop now. 
Wembley could not give two shits. 
Once the novelty of staring at them in their box wore off those first couple nights, he was totally over chickens.


Hyacinth and Violet.

April 22, 2019.

My dad named the chickens Hyacinth, Rose, Violet, and Daisy after the broads in "Keeping Up Appearances". 
But Hyacinth and Violet really ought to be Xena and Gabrielle respectively. 
Go anywhere near Violet, Hyacinth comes running at you battle screaming, and if she gets you, she bites and twists.


Wembley watching robins.

April 7, 2015.

Wembley is watching the robins in the yard with a look of intense intellectual concentration, like someone trying to follow a Christopher Nolan movie. 
Yeah, lotta plot twists with robins. 
You look away, you miss everything.

And the update...

April 7, 2020.

He hated the chickens though. 
It had to be robins.


Wembley playing too hard.

April 9, 2018.

*Wiping cut fingers down with alcohol* dammit, Wembley, you don't know how to play right.


Ass!!

April 11, 2013.

Cat forgetting what he was going to do: "Hey, I know! I'll wash my starfish button!". 
Cat in the way of the TV/monitor: "Hey, you know what show you should really watch? Me washing my starfish button! Here we go!".


Cricket concerts.

April 19, 2013.

And #1 on the cat pop charts for the millionth year in a row, crickets!

My immediate reply...

#2, frogs.


Wembley the music critic.

May 8, 2014.

Well, add Sarah Mclachlan to the list of singers Wembley hates. 
She performed on one of the daytime shows this morning, and he was squinting angrily at the TV, and clutching a fist with his right paw. 
He didn't relax, and go back to sleep until she stopped. 
He also despises Elvis. 
Elvis makes his ears flatten out, and his skin crawl. 
And Blind Boys Of Alabama make him run like hell from the room.

And the update...

May 8, 2017.

Turns out he likes Ozzy though.
There's an Ozzy song at the end credits of "This Is The End", and Wembley stretched, and smiled, and made happy squeak noises. 
Best cat ever.


Hyancinth vanishes.

May 23, 2019.

Aw, shit, I think a critter may have nabbed and made off with Hyacinth. 🙁

And the reply/update...

May 25th, 2019.

Helped apply antibiotic spray on Violet's wounds, and got to see the damage really good for the first time. 
Whatever it was, it munched her like a chicken sandwich, it's quite a gash. 
It's clotted shut though. 
The spray will both keep it from infecting, and keep her sisters from pecking her. 
There's no doubt that Hyacinth is dead, wherever she is. 
Three good chomps like that would spell death, and you know it didn't stop at three.

Whelp, been a year and a day.
She's gone.


And, that's those.
For now.
Gotta cycle through the whole year to get 'em all.
Stay tuned for sequels.

Liars and cowards, Part 7.

We never run out of bullshit these people are saying and doing, so I never run out of shit to say about it.
Here we go again...


"Humans need ritual!!".

April 21, 2014

This whole pledge thing has gotten me thinking about something I'm sick to death of hearing. Whenever you have a debate about things like the pledge, and then you get into prayer, and religion, there's always some fucking knucklehead in the room/thread that says "human beings NEED ritual!". No they fucking don't. 
I'm a human being, and I don't need meaningless rituals. 
What few rituals I used to put up with had to be drilled into me against my will. 
And I'm not the one-in-a-billion mutant the authority figures in my life tried to persuade me I was. I've got the internet now. 
I've talked to people. 
I'm not-a-freak to the tune of fucking millions. 
What other stupid lies you got, assholes? 
And what if ritual WERE a universal human craving? 
It wouldn't make the dumb rituals we have good, or helpful, or right.  
What, any ritual will do? 
Really? 
Why not animal sacrifice then? 
Why not virgin sacrifice? 
Why not severed head soccer? 
"Human beings need ritual", is something dumb people say to sound/feel smart, and feel good about their cowardly conformity. 
I'm about ready to punch in the face the next person who says it. 
It's thoughtless selfish garbage of the first order.

And my immediate reply...

Here's my shortened rebuttal to "human beings need ritual". 
No, power-mongering sociopaths need ritual to control the stupid and weak. 
Wake from your stupor.

My shorter rebuttal.
"Go play Candy Crush then".


"Into numbers".

April 24, 2013

If someone you know rattles on about "being into numbers", give them a book on calculus. 
If they rattle on about "hidden invisible realms", give them a microscope. 
If they aren't thrilled by those gifts, write them off as nonsense addled jellyheads.


Psycho-Christians vs transgender rights.

April 30, 2016

I predicted long ago, that once psycho-Christians lost the gay rights battle with gay marriage, they were pretty much done, because that was their last big social issue after losing on civil rights, women's rights, and abortion. 
But I also knew they wouldn't lay down in defeat without embarrassing themselves first. 
And that's what all this transgender bathroom shit is. 
Get a fucking clue, folks. 
When the battle lines have been pushed back to toilets, you're done. 
You're not coming back from that. 
History is not going to be kind.

And the update...

April 30, 2017.

Who knew they'd go all "Empire Strikes Back"? 
I should have, if I'm so damned clever. 
*Sigh*

Maybe 'rona will wipe out enough of them.


Swearing at your parents.

May 3, 2013

Parents, if you make your pre-pubescent kids miserable enough to fly off the handle on a regular basis, please, just go ahead and let them swear. 
It sounds so stupid and pathetic when they try to infuse "heck", "stinking", and "crap", with the same level of passion as "fuck", "fucking", and "shit". 
You're giving them an adults anger, let them express it for fucks sake. 
I of course say all this selfishly as one who's heard these tantrums, and had them sit badly in my ear, and ruin the rest of my day.

And the update..

May 3, 2018

I've concluded awhile ago, nothing people fight about is worth anything. 
It's all meaningless. 
If you're not going to kill the person, then shut the fuck up. 
I mean, really, what do people fight over? 
Money, and their vanity being stepped on. 
Are you entitled to the money? 
No? 
Then you're a schemer, fuck off. 
Yes? 
How much is it? 
Less than six figures? 
You know what, let the asshole have it, it's worth it to be rid of them. 
As for vanity/ego, learn how to write a revenge rap. 
That'll make you feel better. 
As for swearing at your parents, do it. 
God lets babies die of starvation. 
He certainly couldn't give a shit if you say "fucking bitch". 
If you slap your kid for calling you "fucking bitch", you deserve for your kid to grow up into Eminem. 
Stupid fucking bitch. 
Now give him his fucking cellphone back already. 
Tired of hearing that shit. 
Trying to eat my chalupa, fer chrissakes. 
Fucking people.


Racism: America's favorite pseudo-science.

May 4, 2018

Racism is a pseudo-science that asserts that you can tell everything about a person's moral character, past, and future, with nothing but the naked unaided human eye. 
Yes, there are also cultural stereotypes, and bad interpretations of history, but those build up from the naked eye thing. 
You'd think this would be debunked by the telescope, the microscope, FLIR goggles, genetic marker testing, optical illusions, and card magic. 
Nope! 
This shit's more persistent than diarrhea on a cruise ship. 
Especially in America. 
We love racism here. 
Along with greasy food, and explosives. 
A trifecta of shit that's bad for you. 
Which is why we cram all three into the country's birthday party. 
I had a clever idea to combat racism with clever analogies to flat Earth...but look at that, flat Earth is making a big comeback. 
Idiots are geniuses. 
Always a step ahead of me.

And the update...

May 4, 2020

The dams are bursting open with bullshit. 
Every flavor you could have imagined, and ones you never could have. 
But America's favorite? 
Still racism. 
Still racism by a country mile. 
God, how they love it so. 
They're about to send their kids back to school to die of a virus, because they love racism more than their own children. 
They've swallowed the "work is freedom", okey-doke, because Trump spews it, and they've bought into Trump cuz he's promised them in dog-whistles that no matter how much they suffer, the darkies will suffer more. 
And they're willing to seal that contract in their children's blood. 
That's fucking commitment.


Hopes and prayers.

May 5, 2014

I gotta ask, when has prayer ever fucking done a damned thing? 
I mean, anything that meant anything worth a fuck. 
All these dead kids, and dead women they find out in the woods, and out in swamps, they must have fucking prayed their brains out. 
You know they did. 
Nothing. 
Still dead. 
Worthless. 
Everyone who ever had a terminal disease. 
Everyone who ever lost a fucking limb. 
Anyone who was ever sexually assaulted. 
Even every ugly lonely guy that wanted to get laid. 
Nothing. 
Nothing for any of 'em. 
Whenever you hear of prayer doing anything, it's either sports related, or something to do with lost keys. 
Something really lame and pathetic.  
And these goofy jowl-faced child-minded legislators want this meaningless voodoo ritual included in their job at taxpayer expense. 
And socially, prayer is supposed to be this fucking deep meaningful activity, you're supposed to respect it, like someone's sick, and some idiot always goes "I'll pray for you", or "I'll keep you in my prayers", and you're an asshole if you're not like "ohhh, thaaaank yoouu!". 
I really don't like this planet. 
It's an ordeal to be on it. 
Seeing destructive and toxic people being treated with respect, and good people tossed aside in the garbage, and stupidity praised, it makes me physically sick. 
And I just point it all out, and I'm the villain. 
I really can't believe I share a species with people that think this way.

And the update...

May 5, 2020.

People are finally turning on it. 
All the "hopes and prayers", shit from Republicans is getting mocked pretty regularly. 
And even former lazy fence sitters are waking up to the havoc religion is wreaking during the pandemic. 
Interesting to see how hopeless it all felt just 6 years ago. 
Makes you wonder where we'll be in the next 6 years. 
Kinda cheers me up.


Founders of countries.

May 6, 2016.

You know something you've never seen? 
The founders of a new country saying "and now, I'll put myself at the very bottom of this society, and climb my way back up to prove just how well my new system really works!". 
Doesn't happen. 
Don't look for it to.


The war on crime.

May 7, 2017

I've come to the conclusion that any "war on crime", that isn't also a war on poverty is a fucking lie. Poverty is the swamp that street crime grows in. 
If you're fighting crime, but not poverty, you just care about locking people up to lock 'em up. 
Even if it's well intended, it'll always corrupt into a class-ist, racist, authoritarian, unjust, rich versus poor nightmare.
Like what we've got. 
The Prison Industrial Complex. 
This why why I pay no heed to what I call "justice porn". 
Reality cop shows, judge shows, it's propaganda for the class/race war. 
Fuck off with that shit. 
In a hundred years, people will look back on that garbage the same way we look back at minstrel shows, and animal torture at circuses.


Trump gave up in 2011, I got cocky.

May 16, 2011.

Trump officially waved the white flag. I'm sure you're all devastated.

And the update..

May 16, 2020.

Here's a lesson never to get cocky and dismissive. 
I'm scanning my brain for who I've cockily dismissed...Ben Carson...keep your fucking eye on Ben Carson.


Trump is evil, and his fan-club knows it.

May 17, 2020

"How can people think Trump is good?". 
No one is the slightest bit deceived that Trump is "good" in the way you or I understand goodness.
Cruel, vindictive, hateful people want to cover their crimes, and the way to do that is to rewrite history and ethics. 
They know they're not tricking us, and they aren't even fooling themselves or each other. 
They know it's all about mob power, and they just have to out-scream and tire us. 
Don't let them. 
Step one is don't get confused. 
It's bullshit, and they know it.

And my immediate reply...

I've been around shitty redneck-y people all my life, this is how I've always seen them "win", arguments. 
It's all they understand.


Nader voters.

May 21, 2020.

You know who history remembers as the smartest people that ever lived? 
Nader voters. 
Everyone just admires and looks up to them, they get millions of dollars just to speak at colleges, and show up at conventions, the love just flows freely. 
Nader voters are at the top of our social hierarchy. 
They get to breed with our finest stock of supermodels. 
They get the secret cuts of meat the unwashed don't get a crack at. 
History has truly vindicated their choices. 
The Stein voters, and the never-Biden-ers are just patiently waiting in the wings for that acceptance that Nader voters naturally and rightly bask in. 
It'll happen. 
Just you wait.


Douchebag critics.

May 22, 2015.

Y'know, you're free to like or dislike films, shows, albums, whatever you please. 
But when you mistake your personal gut reacted taste as a matter of morals, you're mentally inferior, and will be treated as such by me. 
I've tried to find a kinder approach, but it has eluded me. 
If your brain ticks that way, you don't get to be an authority, you don't get to be an adult, you barely get to be a human. 
Scream and stomp all you want, the respect you think is due just isn't coming. 
There, the line is drawn. 
Let the chips fall where they may.

And the update...

May 22, 2016.

I still keep running into this.
I wish I could say we lived in a world where these people die homeless, but this mentality can make you a millionaire on Youtube.

And the YT algorithm keeps shoving these little Nazis in my fucking face.


Christmas Christians.

May 24, 2015.

Before I gave in, and became atheist, I went through a deist phase, but before that, I was what I like to call "a Christmas Christian". 
In it for the Christmas presents, and Easter eggs, but never prayed, never went to church, never watched the religious shit on the holidays, only the Rankin/Bass stuff for nostalgia. 
Let me just say, as someone who's been there....cut it out. 
Christmas-Christians, just cut it out. 
You're smoking a candy cigarette, you're drinking apple-juice champagne, you're eating a tofu steak. Cut it out. 
Be atheist. 
Grow some balls, and be atheist. 
You are in everything but name. 
Cut it out. 
You're throwing off the statistics, and it's a pain in the ass.

And the update...

May 24, 2018.

I used to think "Christmas Christians", were just being lazy. 
Now after seeing all the white people whining about their first world problems while black people keep getting shot, and hugging and kissing their guns while teenagers keep getting mowed down by AKs, and crying about their precious bruised feelings over kneeling in a fucking football game, I realize they're just fucking jelly-spined cowards that can't stand to be thought of as misfits. Privileged, spoiled, soft little cowards who would physically die if you called them "fucker". 
Yep, keep your heads down, eat the Easter eggs, and keep that painting of blonde Aryan Jesus up in the den. 
*Spits with disgust*


Anti-lockdown assholes.

May 24th, 2020.

Let's say that covid-19 really were a virtual reality hologram created by the leebrul myeeedyah. 
Let's also say that mask wearing and hand sanitizing are 100% unnecessary. 
Ripping people's masks off and violating their space would still be the height of assholism. 
Pre-corona, we had germaphobes. 
It wasn't cool to wipe boogers on the germaphobes. 
No one thought that was awesome. 
No one encouraged that. 
No one thought you were an American hero for sneezing on the food of the hypochondriacs. 
Just like no one but assholes thought it was awesome to shove claustrophobic people into a small closet and hold them in. 
How about nut allergies? 
Would it be "patriotic", to force feed people with allergies fucking peanut butter to see if their allergies are real? 
And what if they are? 
"Whoops"?? 
I don't get the mentality of these fucking anti-lockdown people. 
I mean, I do get it, they're selfish, and ignorant, and entitled, and have the emotional development of 6 year olds, but I don't get the series of mental gear shifts they have to do to justify their idiot behavior. 
Any other day before winter of 2019, social shame kept these fuckers in check. 
How did they bust out of the pens?


And that's those.

Hypocrites, Part 7.

The first of these post-de-numbering.


Bootstraps 3. (part 1, part 2 (see "The argument is over...")

April 14, 2019.

You know what I never see? 
Some insecure conservative white guy seeing black/Latino/women/gay/trans soldiers/firefighters/cops, not liking it...and then using that to step up their own game, and be tougher, and better. 
Nope, they whine, and cry, and want a system of pampered privilege to protect them. 
So much for "pull yourselves up by your bootstraps". 
The Trump years are revealing a lot of shit that we as liberals just don't have to listen to anymore. 
It's the one silver lining.


Bernie bro bullshit.

April 15, 2018

Remember before the election, I was calling people voting Trump bad people, and anti-Hillary people pro-Trump whether they understood it not, and some people unfriended me for being a big meanie? Wonder where they are these days. 
Do they still think they're righteous? Or are they masking their raw throbbing shame under some bullshit?

And the update..

April 15, 2020

They're still bullshitting themselves. 
The Bernie-or-bust motherfuckers think a second Trump term "will teach us a lesson". 
The Trojan-horse radical left think a second Trump term will collapse the system and cause a revolution. 
Y'know, a revolution of the assholes that didn't actually get off their asses to vote for Bernie in the primary. 
And the apathy bastards who are all middle class and white are still like "ehhhhh, we've survived bad presidents before". 
Not with covid19 you don't, pecker-neck.

Ah, yes, accelerationism.
*Eyeroll*


Liberal smugness.

April 17, 2018.

You know what's worse than sexual assault, bragging about sexual assault, ogling underage teenagers, marital infidelity, covering up the infidelity by sending goons to threaten your mistress, encouraging political violence, calling neo-Nazis "good people", and obstructing justice? 
Smugness. 
Smugness just drives me insane. 
I'd burn the world down with nuclear fire if it meant liberals would stop being smug. 
Either that, or I'd vote for a guy that would do that for me. 
This is all completely logical and rational. 
I think I'll take this argument to message boards. 
I bet it will really impress people. 
Hell, it might even add an inch to my ding-dong. 
Couldn't hurt to try.

And the update...

April 17, 2019.

Turns out the people making this complaint love smugness just fine when it gets to be them being smug about passing bigot legislation. 
Another hypocrisy for the pile.


The law and order crowd.

April 21, 2017

I'll believe the Republican fever over immigration is about "law and order", and not racism when I see every redneck cracker across this sorry-ass country turn in their meth head cousin, and buy legit copies of all their pirated music and films, burn their police radar detectors, and rat out their pot dealers. 
I'm not going to hold my breath on any of that. 
This is a nation of sneaks, snoops, finks, and cheats, and the cries of "law and order!! Law and order!!", are just one straw too many for me to take with a straight face.

And the update...

April 21, 2020.

Crossing an imaginary line on a map to seek a better life = horrible crime. 
Blocking emergency vehicles, and spreading a virus = patriotism. 
Fuck this country.


Nazis calling everyone else Nazis.

April 30, 2017

After 8 years of the right-wing abusing Hitler analogies for Obama, the language is weakened now that Steve Bannon and Theresa May have shown up, and turned out to be actual Nazis. 
Almost as if it was planned that way. 
I don't have a conspiratorial enough mind, I'm perfectly willing to let it be a perfect storm of human stupidity.


Boomers and racism passes.

May 8, 2018

This goes out to you Boomers hitting senior citizen age. 
Some of you seem to think once the AARP magazine starts coming, you get a racism pass. 
Um...no... NOOO! 
NYEEOO-HO-HOO! 
World War II Generation used all the racism passes. 
You don't get one. 
We're done with the racism passes. 
They've been phased out. 
My generation doesn't get Social Security, and you don't get Racism Pass. 
How it goes.


"Glamorizing violence".

May 15, 2013

Y'know, despite the bed-wetting by both liberals, and christian-conservatives, I've never seen a horror movie that says the bad behavior contained within is a morally righteous thing. 
I can't find that movie. 
I've looked. 
I WANT to see that movie to laugh at it. 
If anyone could have found it, it would have been me. 
You know what genres have bad behavior and tells us it's good? 
Religious films, right-wing war propaganda, and some romantic comedies. 
Why aren't those picketed? 
Hmm?


Eugenic supermen.

May 16, 2018

If I were a eugenic superman, I'd make all my money off my super intellect. 
Well, I'd start off with feats of strength to get attention, and build up a "brand", in the fame machine, THEN I'd start inventing. 
Little things at first, like a George Foreman grill, but with a monitor screen hooked to an electron microscope, so you can watch the chemical cooking reactions happen at the molecular level. 
And a tactical flashlight that gets Pornhub. 
And a spork sharp enough to do surgery with, and heat resistant enough to scoop up molten steel. Then, once those billions were rolling in, I'd start cranking out the smart prosthetics, and Iron Man suits. 
What I wouldn't do, is go begging to the government for tax cuts and subsidies. 
Because that's a bitch move. 
For little bitches. 
And eugenic superman aren't little bitches. 
Another feature of being a eugenic superman, is by definition, when you grow old, you don't get all fat, and bald, and jowly, with a gross flobbedy blobbedy bulldog face, and a slobbedy ploppety vulture neck. 
Cuz eugenics. 
That would be neat, to not have to worry about any of that shit. 
With all that extra health and lifespan, I'd get more inventing in. 
Maybe cure some diseases. 
And give the cures away for free, because billionaires don't need anymore money. 
Did I mention I wouldn't beg for tax cuts and subsidies? 
Oh, and I wouldn't sit around thinking of new and exciting ways to squeeze blood out of poor people. I'd be too busy flying around in my Iron Man suits. 
And having lots and lots of sex that I don't have to pay for. 
And I wouldn't have goons. 
That's another bitch move. 
For little bitches. 
Anyway, it's fun to theorize. 
Glad no one puts this shit into practice. 
They'd be liars, because supermen aren't a thing. 
Yep, glad we don't have that problem.

Seriously, Trump believes in eugenics, and thinks he's superior.
He said this shit on 60 Minutes.
They replayed the interview during the election.
No one seemed to give a shit.
I mean, I get his supporters not caring, they're white supremacists.
I'm stunned we couldn't get liberals to care and share that quote as a meme to bejeezus.

This country is a fucking nightmare.


Morons at everything else think they're good at politics.

May 18, 2018

So, let me get this right. 
Dumbass cross-eyed stumble-fucks in this country shrug off being dumb at math, science, geography, history, English lit, health, relationships, and child rearing without the slightest teensiest speck of shame or concern.....but tell them they're fucking stupid at POLITICS, that hurts theiw widdwe feewings. 
And we have to pwotect those feewings, or they'll burn the country to the ground, and it'll be our fault? 
That about right? 
Yeah, fuck off. 
And why would someone stupid at all the other shit be brilliant at politics? 
How the fuck does that work? 
Someone walk me through that one. 
Do it up on the chalk board, I wanna see the work.

And the update..

May 18, 2020.

I think it comes from the un-earned tribal pride that comes with "American exceptionalism". 
America (allegedly) has the best system, so all one has to do to be good at politics is be born here, and believe in its system. 
The more blindly you believe in it, and the less critical you are of it, the smarter you become. 
Then it becomes an identity thing, then calling them out for their ignorance feels to them like being picked on for being fat or short. 
Jesus, people fucking suck.


"Creeping socialism".

May 24, 2020

Has there ever been a country that turned into a military totalitarian fascist dictatorship because of "creeping socialism"? 
I can't fucking think of one. 
Where the right-wing has this as their central paranoia fantasy at the foundation of their ideology, you'd have thought it would have happened at least once. 
Every pseudo-socialist dictator run hellhole I can think of, assholes with guns directly seized power.
They didn't tippy-toe up to it by having their version of Medicare expand into dental.

To which a friend brilliantly answered...

Because of, or in response to?
'Cause it's usually right wing reactionaries flipping the board when the kickbacks aren't exclusive enough anymore


And, that's those.
Done!
No number.
No last episode.

Happy 40th Anniversary, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back!!

Still the best one!!

The first Star Wars sequel!
Well...the first one on film.
"Splinter Of The Mind's Eye", the novel was the first continuation of the story.

Anyway, it was a big deal even in its day.
Part 2 of the biggest movie ever, and it didn't disappoint.

Course, yeah, retroactively, it's part 5 of the Skywalker saga, but y'know.

Anyway, my original review is in "I Love Star Wars".

And my sequel review is in "I Still Love Star Wars".

So....what to cover this time?

Well, here's something no one mentions.

As great as the "no, I am your father!", twist is, it justified the whole existence of the prequels.
That one line ret-cons in that timeline.

The greatest Star Wars creates the worst ones.
And everyone just lets that slide.

Well, worst except Sith, Sith is good.
Some online poll has Sith better than Endgame.
Can you believe that shit?
*Head shake*
Weird.

But then, the prequels birthed "Clone Wars", and season 7 just had its finale, and is one of the greatest moments in all of Star Wars.
So....yeah.
18 years after Clones, the prequels finally paid off.

Empire delivered the goods right in the theater though.

I wonder how it would have fared if there had been an internet then.
There's always a hater.
And they get the ball rolling, and multiply.

I got watching a video of kids of today reacting to disco music, and I remembered I saw a documentary where they talked to the guy who started the "disco sucks", movement, and he admitted, he couldn't get into the clubs, and he hated the disco clique, and he wanted to get laid in his lifetime, so disco had to go.

Now, do you think he would have admitted that back then when it was going on, even under torture?
Fuck no.
Only when it's all over, and he's an old fart.

"Disco sucks", were literally the incels of their day.

And you could torture the incels, and they won't admit it's because they're just bitter.
There's this whole bullshit political dogma they spout.
But in 40 years?
Yeah, just you wait.

So, it really is "they hate us cuz they ain't us".

So, would Star Wars have had incels/disco sucks-ers if there had been an internet?
No fucking question.

Would the anti-Star Wars fanboys of today be so bitter if George Lucas had kept Star Wars, and still delegated the films to JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson, and they had been exactly the same?
Fuck no.
It's about hating Disney.
Disney is the prom king.
Disney is the bouncer at the disco club.
That's what it's really about.

Which is weird, cuz "Empire Strikes Back", George Lucas was just as much a prom king, and a disco bouncer.

Lucasfilm and ILM were already becoming just as much as "heartless corporations", as Disney.

What gives?

People bullshit themselves, that's what.
They're stupid, insecure, vain, and they bullshit themselves.

Nope, sequel trilogy haters aren't "the divided fandom", they're flat out playa hatahs.
The sequel trilogy aren't "controversial and divisive", they're victims of the franchise's own success.
Like Disco.
Like hair metal.
Like Rocky in "Rocky III".
Like Spidey in "Spider-Man 3".

And Empire was the first step on that road of gluttonous success.
And people forgive that too.

Cuz they bullshit themselves.

Me?
I wouldn't change a goddamned thing.
Everything worked out.

Empire is on the AFI 100 list.

"I am your father", created the prequels, which created "Clone Wars", which created Ahsoka, who's gonna be in season 2 of "Mandalorian".
And the exact same playah hatahs are excited to have her.

It all balances out.
Like the force.

May the force be with you, and happy birthday, Empire.

No more categories, no more counting episodes!!

Yep, no more of that crap.
I'm done.

Tags will do all the work.
I should have done this from the beginning.

The "Revisits #1-54 compilation", was the last of that.
Now that those are all wrapped up in their corresponding tag, what do I need to count episodes, or even put category titles on for?
I don't, is the answer.
I don't have to.

So, from now on...

Pop-culture + news = Meedyah Morsels.
-or-
Pop-culture + reviews = Meedyah Morsels.

Munchies = Munchies & Crunchies.

Social media = Stuff From Facebook.

Revisits = Revisits.


And there's no need to count them anymore, cuz the tag will take you to all of them including the numbered compilations of the pre-tag era.
And if there's no need to count them, there's no need to link back to the last episode to help me do the stupid compilations.
I honestly dunno why I made all that work for myself.
I feel kinda silly.
But, it's fixed now.
New no-bullshit era.
Enjoy.

Batwoman quits!!

Meedyah Morsels #256.

Holy galloping guano, Batwoman!

Yep, Ruby Rose dropped out of the role.

No clear reason given.
Hasn't stopped people from speculating.
I'm guessing the theories will all be wrong.
They usually are.
I'm tuning it out until I hear the real story from Rose herself.

CW is going to re-cast instead of cancel the show.
They're looking for another lesbian.

Stephanie Beatriz has expressed interest.
(She's bi)

Grace Randolph's hot take is Rose is selfish and ungrateful.
But Randolph's a twat.

I'm expecting John Campea to rant similar.
He can go 50-50 on the douche meter.
We'll see.

So, yeah, stay tuned for that re-casting.

Now that's 3 iconic female superheroes that need casting.
Batwoman, Spider-Woman, and She-Hulk.

Mandalorian/Obi-Wan updates.

Meedyah Morsels #255.

Three for the price of one....

Item one...

Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka Tano is rumored to be getting a spinoff series after she premieres in Mandalorian.

Item two...

Rosario as Ahsoka is rumored to pop up in the Obi-Wan series.

If true, Rosario is going to be the Nick Fury all over again, like she was with the Marvel-Netflix-verse (AKA the Daredevil-verse).

Item three...

Timothy Olyphant is going to be on The Mandalorian as a guy who bought Boba's stolen armor, and is running around as Fake-Boba.

So, Real-Boba is gonna want his suit back.

This'll be interesting.


And, that's those.

Star Trek: Prodigy.

Meedyah Morsels #254.

90% sure this is the title for the formerly untitled Nickelodeon series I was calling "Nick-Trek", as a placeholder.

Paramount/CBS filed trademarks for this title, and Section 31 in January.
I twiddled my thumbs, and forgot about it, cuz I was waiting to see how things developed on the Captain Pike front to eliminate it as a title for that.
Things did develop, and that has its own title, so this is the only possibility.

Once again, here's what's already known...

• It's going to be CGI.
• It's going to be on Nickelodeon.
• The plot "follows a group of lawless teens who discover a derelict Starfleet ship and use it to search for adventure, meaning and salvation."

And here's a couple more things (besides the title) we know...

• Showrunner formerly worked on "Ninjago".
• Won't come out 'til either 2021, or 2022.

Things have been all quiet on the Section 31 front for awhile.
Big cosmic coin flip as to whether Prodigy or Section 31 will be series 10 or 11.
Stay tuned.

And, here we are!
Fan willpower intervened in Trek history yet again!

Official series title is in the headline.

Stars everyone from season 2 of Discovery; Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, Rebacca Romjin.

Sweeeet!

Again, we're up to 9 shows now, either the untitled Nickelodeon cartoon, or Section 31 will be 10.

This one needed its own post.

The CW shows are still ticking!

Flash had his finale Tuesday, Supergirl and Batwoman this coming Sunday, Legends in early June.

Course, I dunno if the cliffhangers are happening when they were originally supposed to...
*Googles*
Nope, all but Legends couldn't finish filming, so they're cut off at artificial cliffhangers, and will resolve those next season.
Legends needed post-production, and their release date shows they finished it up.

BUT, at least I'll finally be able to buy Batwoman season one on disk, and get "Crisis", along with it.

So, that only just leaves the future of the comics industry, and my local Cinemagic theater up in the air.

Star Trek: Lower Decks- bigger (and belated) updates!!

Meedyah Morsels #250.

Shit, I missed a big update on August of last year!
I've got Lower Decks programmed into my RSS now, so that'll never happen again.
Anyway...

Source link.

Tidbits to take away-

LD takes place 1 year after Nemesis.
(So the show timeline goes, ENT, DIS, TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, LD, PIC)

The uniforms are unused designs from "Generations".

They're going to address cleaning (read jizz-mopping) the holodeck.

The Cerritos handles second contact, so we'll see the followup to a lot of first contact episodes.

Character descriptions of the 4 main ensigns-

Ensign Mariner: She is kind of a classic Star Trek hero. She is a little bit Kirk, a little bit Riker. She doesn’t really play by the rules necessarily and thinks outside the box a bit, but gets the job done. And she is really, really good at Starfleet stuff. She is the ultimate Star Trek nerd. She knows a little bit about everything.

But she has been demoted so many times, that is why she is on the lower decks. So despite knowing everything, she is really bad at taking orders. She is kind of like Maverick from Top Gun. She would buzz the tower.

Boimler: He is our by-the-book and obsessed with rank. He wants to be captain one day and thinks following protocol is the only way he is going to get there. He is wound super tight, which makes him a perfect foil for Mariner. He will get to the captain’s chair one day, if he can take a page from her and learn there is more to Starfleet than just following the rules.

Tendi: Tendi is a huge Star Trek fan who has got into Starfleet and is an Orion and this shows her first day getting to work on a Starfleet ship and it is wish fulfillment. We are channeling what if one of us got to work on a Starfleet ship. The original pitch for her is there is no job too lower decks that she isn’t losing her mind for joy over…She’s like if the optimism of Starfleet was turned into a person.

Rutherford: An engineer who just recently became a cyborg and isn’t used to it yet. He is only complaining about his implant because he doesn’t understand how to use it. Rutherford is like Geordi La Forge, if you don’t solve the problem in 40 minutes. Every episode he’s like “I got this,” but he sometimes does not have it.

[example exchange between captain and Rutherford] “I need 20 minutes” “well, you have 10” “no, seriously I need the full 20”…I’m not doing the Scotty thing, I probably need 30.”

​
And the 4 main bridge officers-

Captain Freeman: She is as capable as a Starfleet captain as you would want them to be. But she is just not on the most important ship in the fleet.

Commander Ransom: He is kind of like a chill, smug Riker.

Lt. Shaxs: He is our beefcake Bajoran.

Dr. T’Ana: She is kind of like a super-Palaski, angry cat from a junkyard. She is not purring at anybody. She is a good doctor, but she’s an unpleasant cat.

Dr. T'ana is also a Kaitian like M'Ress, so they're tying in TAS.
Mike McMahan says you're going to see lots of references to TNG, TOS, and TAS.


There, now that's some real goddamned news!

Star Trek: Lower Decks- updates!!

Meedyah Morsels #248.

Finally!!

Last time, I speculated...

The tech and uniforms seem to place it sometime after TNG.
If I had to throw a dart at the timeline, I'd aim for between "Nemesis", and "Picard".


Nope, turns out it happens during TNG!


Here's the article from Gizmodo.

There's a Canonical Star Trek Show Happening During Lower Decks, You Just Aren't Watching It

Star Trek fans might be forgiven for thinking that its upcoming return to the world of animation’s more light-hearted tone means that Lower Decks won’t take on the dramatic weight of being prime-timeline canon. It’s kind of what some Star Trek fans do with literally anything they’re uneasy about when it comes to Trek. But good news: It totally will have a place within Trek’s timeline.

Speaking to Inverse recently about the status of the series—as part of a wider feature on his work for Rick and Morty and his new Hulu animated series with Justin Roiland, Solar Opposites—creator Mike McMahan iterated that Lower Decks is an official canonical entry into the Star Trek pantheon. It’s set during The Next Generation era, to boot.

But Lower Deck’s whole schtick in following the lower-ranked officers of an already pretty low-key Federation starship means that you’re not really watching that canon Star Trek show. You’re watching what is basically the equivalent of that hypothetical Trek show’s B-plots. Or really, its B-plots’ B-plots.

“Within Lower Decks, there is a proper in-canon Star Trek show,” McMahan explained. “It takes place during the TNG era. It’s on a ship that feels like it’s always existed there and the bridge crew is dealing with big, never-before-seen Starfleet Star Trek-type stories. So every episode has a thing like that happening in it. And then, on top of that, we’ve got A stories and B stories that are emotionally driven from the point of view of the lower deckers on the ships. So it was an area of storytelling that people had covered every once in a while on Star Trek, but never built a show around.”

It’s an idea reflected in the case of Lower Decks itself—the primary cast of characters we meet aboard the U.S.S. Cerritos are its ensigns, while the supporting cast is made up of the bridge crew we’d typically follow in a Star Trek show, the captain, the chief medical officer, the commanders and chiefs of security and what have you. But just because it’s taking this inverse approach, and doing so with the intent of humor, doesn’t mean Lower Decks won’t expound upon the stories and ideas Star Trek has always put at the heart of its storytelling.

“It was important to me that if you know everything about Star Trek and you watch this show then it fits into canon and doesn’t break Star Trek,” McMahan added. “In fact, it grows it. And if you know nothing about Star Trek, then all of the canon in Lower Decks feels like mythological, broad understandable sci-fi stuff.”

So yes, you’re really getting a brand new canon entry into Star Trek with Lower Decks. You’re just...watching it from a very different point of view. We’ll no doubt find out more when Lower Decks premieres on CBS All Access sometime later this year.

Sounds good, can't wait!

Ghostbusters: Friendship Is Magic!

Meedyah Morsels #247.

Well, we now know what the next Ghostbusters comic before or after the Afterlife crossover will be!!

Ghostbusters vs My Little Pony!

I mean, they did the Ectotron toy, and we got a Ghostbusters/Transformers comic.

They did TMNT/Ghostbusters hybrid figures, and we got two GB/TMNT comics.

Although, they did figures of WWE wrestlers as Busters, and we didn't get a comic of that.

I'd fix that, then I'd have "Crossing Over 2", with Ectotron, Plasmane, and the WWE guys.
Just one big 80's nostalgia potpourri.
