Purple man I didn’t get it until afterwards and then I felt like a dumbass for not seeing it.

Yeah his buddies from DOD’s PR and from the NSA. /s Yeah I’d believe that the whole novel really reminded me of a YouTube of some war games.

My second favourite crazy conspiracy theory is that Tom Clancy didn’t really exist and that he was the front man for the CIA’s public relations office. Red Storm especially leads this as the whole novel reads like someone took a high level war game and tried to make a novelisation out of it.

Got to say, Aussie comedies are on a roll lately. The new season of Fisk is hilarious and the eleventh season of Spicks and Specks is still slaying. I frankly need a laugh, so I’ve been watching those. And for some reason I’ve been nostalgic lately so I’ve dug out some of those early aughts fun cable light dramas. Burn Notice, Leverage, Psych, White Collar, Monk, and such. Nothings to heavy, a story gets told in 40 minutes and maybe there’s some kind of season long thing taking up 5-10 minutes in it, but no puzzle boxes or epic character arcs or anything. They’re like the TV version of a wine cooler, no depth, or heaviness but light and fizzy and fun. Maybe I’m just a basic removed but I like fun.

I came here looking for this and I knew Lemmy would come through for me. Thanks for passing your spark forward.

But, and hang with me here, Presidential Elections have a really low R.O.I. Any sensible billionaire knows that the quality investments are in Senators. Once you get one of them elected the chance of them loosing reelection is very low and yet any one of them can put an indefinite hold on any piece legislation and they really have a hold on getting the right kind of people on the courts. Really they should be spending their money more wisely.

Laurie Anderson - Strange Angels

The Middleman! It was 1 hour comedy that played on ABC Family that sadly got canceled after its first season. It was a farcical take on the super spy genre based off the comic books of the same name with Matt Kessler and Natalie freaking Morales. Vampire Ventriloquist Dummies, Zombie Flying Fish, and all Alien Boy Bands. It’s a hilarious send up spy and comic book tropes.

You lucky So-and-So! It’s a heap of fun!

Billy Batson would like a word with the writers

Yeah let the writers do whatever they need to get us to the rest of the immortal weapons stories. It was one of the best runs of the comics and one that would make for a fun season.

Old fashion lemonade & Rum aka a lemonade rum punch or as I call it a dirty ditch water. It ain’t pretty but god damn it’s tasty.

Honestly Iron Fist was just starting to get good when it was cancelled. The whole 1st season was a wasted opportunity but the 2nd season was totally on an upward trajectory.

Well for Texas 60’s is darn cold.

Do I wish I mined bitcoin when it was cheap and easy? Or bought Apple stock just before the first iPhone? Or just not stuck my dick in the crazy? Sure I wish I knew then what I know but that’s just the road not taken.

Have I fucked shit up and hurt people I wish I hadn’t? Of course I’m human, but each mistake that broke me also made me put myself back together and I like to think that like a piece of Kitsuni art the remade pieces of me are better then they were before.

But maybe I’m an optimist and like to think that everyone is a work in progress and most choose to be better as they go along, including myself.

Yeah, I’m ME. That about covers it for me.

I think the writers on Ted Lasso got it pitch perfect with Jamie saying “Why would I want to be anything else, I’m me.”
