Interesting point about the movie version of the Wizard of Oz.
In her dream, all the characters Dorothy interacts with have a real-world analogue except one: Glinda. Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke are Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion respectively.

Not the most important point but today's Epstein emails make it clear that Maxwell committed gross perjury in her interview with Todd Blanche, and it will still be within the statute of limitations when President (insert your favorite Dem) takes office in January 2029

@nicollewallace.bsky.social I disagree. It’s easy to demand that the fruitless shutdown continue if you haven’t been furloghed for over a month, don’t rely on SNAP subsidies to feed your family, or aren’t among those forced to continue working in a high stress job without pay.

When Netflix finally produces a series based on my Twitter Twilogy, Colin Farrell (who I originally envisioned as Detective Arkaby) would now be excellent as the murder victim Willum Grainger!

Executive Severance, was published in book form by NeoPoiesis Press in 2011: amzn.to/29AQwFf.
Executive Severance
, Book 1 of The Twitstery Twilogy, while a work of fiction, is delightfully full of references to Media Ecology, and especially to Marshall McLuhan. You don't have to be a media ecologist to love , ...

Authoritarian government ICE activities by Proud Boys, Oath Keepers & fascist MAGATS keeps them busy so they don't pursue their usual covert political harassment, voter intimidation & minority suppression—& leaves administrative, multiple video documentation for future Nuremberg-style prosecutions

This is mostly a political podcast, but at 57:12 they discuss the idea I sent in that all of Star Trek Strange New Worlds is an illusion!

If your Sinclair or Nexstar TV station did not show Jimmy Kimmel last night, you can stream Kimmel on Hulu which offers a free 3 day trial for new subscribers (be sure to cancel before the trial ends).

Talosian #1: Captain Pike’s vital signs are declining.
Talosian #2: It appears he grows tired of the stories we have concocted for him! 1/3

If they only can keep him alive long enough for his death to bring out the sympathy voters for the midterms…

Wait until viewers find out that all the Strange New World episodes are actually illusions created by the Talosians to engage an already crippled Pike…

So many people take Star Trek as a “future history” documentary whose every detail must be obeyed rather than a story-telling platform set in the future that allows writers to explore topics that they otherwise could not.
