I don't even

I just took a look at the 247 ZZL board, to kind of be a witness to the sinking ship. Astounding; it's not a ship at all, it's a ragged tiny raft. A few people who post over and over (rotawa68 with thousands of posts of a few words, on dozens of threads over recent pages). Dull threads on...

I was really not much of a fan of Ozzy's music, except in the following sense: after his departure from Black Sabbath I always listened to his stuff, because he always tried to get the finest backup musicians he could find. Doing that, he hired Randy Rhodes, one of the most staggeringly...

It might look that way to some now, but no. It's been a process, something like the planting of millions of seeds of the most noxious and fast growing weed, and they all really began to sprout in a big way in 2016. Powerful reading on the subject...

The CBS/YouGov poll had this: Do you approve of trump’s handling of immigration? NO, by a 12-point margin Do you approve of trump’s handling of Iran? NO, by a 12-point margin Do you approve of trump’s handling of the Israel-Hamas situation? NO, by a 14-point margin Do you...

As I said in my here be dragons thread, there is zero possibility of predicting the future of America right now. I am certain that the billionaires and corporate powers, along with people like Murdoch, would prefer Vance in the presidency to continue on the path they want.

In November 2017, the Democratic Party's favorability ratings reached a 25-year low in CNN polling, and part of that was Democratic voters angered at elected Democrats for not fighting back against Trump and Republicans. In the 2018 election Democrats picked up 41 seats and control of the House...

Saw the film Sovereign last night, and my first impression is that it jumps into at least the top three films of 2025. It's justifiably an instant contender for many awards, but first of all for best actor for Nick Offerman. He has recently stunned me with brilliant acting in the masterpiece...

Not expecting much from this, and expecting a largely successful cover up. I think this may well be one of several things going on to take attention away from the bill that just passed, and which is taking massive steps towards turning the United States into a giant version of North Korea. Both...

A masterpiece Rush song about placing hope in young people, very nicely covered.

Skipping a stone across a bunch here: Pee Wee As Himself - Two parts, really interesting in tone shift, and moving (he was dying during the making of it). I thought I knew his life story, but I wasn't close, and it was amazing. The Mortician - Just a huge wow. This is about a real monster of a...

I was generally impressed. There are several small problems I have with aspects of the story, like why take a boy into the extremely dangerous outside world for "training" at extreme risk, when that could wait a few years until he far more capable in every way. I still think this is slightly...

One of their hit, bubble gum, type pop songs.

Did someone ask for Iron Age music live in concert? No? Okay. Anyway:

Many here listed represent the fiercest competition for worst American you could find, but I think I've got the leader.
