The single most cheer-inducing sequence of Scorsese's filmography is also in CASINO: it's when Joe Bob Briggs @therealjoebob123.bsky.social appears. Every time I forget he's in it, and every time I say, "Holy shit, it's Joe Bob Briggs!"
Martin Scorsese’s Vegas mob drama “Casino” (released 30 years ago this week) features the single most wince-inducing sequence of his entire filmography.

"Restrained and proper." The only correct response to this is to use the words that the restrained and proper Dick Cheney introduced to the Senate floor:
Go fuck yourself, Peter Baker. Go fuck yourself.
Go fuck yourself, Peter Baker. Go fuck yourself.
It was a memorial service much like the man, restrained and proper yet charged with quiet energy. But as Washington honored Dick Cheney for his service and devotion to country, it underscored how much politics has turned topsy in this country. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u...

I like listening to podcasts while I read comics, which is how I just now find myself reading HARLEY QUINN while listening to the SUICIDE SQUAD episode of @flophousepodcast.com in which Elliott Kalan, current writer of comics character Harley Quinn, makes fun of movie character Harley Quinn

Speaking of "Chaise Longue," two things:

Reading book 3 of THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY and lamenting again that I'll probably never get to see the TV adaptation (w/ Tony Hale & Kristen Schaal!), which ran for 2 seasons on Disney+ and was disappeared 4 months after it was canceled, making it (as Wiki puts it) "lost media by legal means"
"In addition to dropping the live networks, YouTube TV also is removing any DVR library recordings users have made from those networks." This is the REAL bullshit here. DVDs of tv shows barely exist now because they're all streaming, right? But streamers can disappear those shows whenever they want

"Blessed" with a Knicks jersey. Blasphemy! The pain on the Pope's face every time someone gives him sports stuff that isn't the White Sox. HE LIKES HIS ONE THING, DON'T GIVE HIM KIND OF THAT THING AND ACT LIKE YOU'RE SO CLEVER. You like Batman? Have some Ant-Man. That shit is getting regifted, Spike
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

Flags are at half-staff at court house across the street from Seattle Central Library. Been trying to figure out why. Did they just not raise them again after Veterans Day? Are flags even lowered on Veterans Day? Puzzling
