A big problem in the United States is that we've lived under auto-mandatory sprawl for so long that when most people hear "we want to make it so more people walk" this is the sort of walk that they picture in their mind.

So when someone drinks raw milk, gets an infection, and dies, will Google's lawsuit defense be, "We didn't create the information; we just aggregated it?" That worked several times before; not so sure it will now.

I've watched Joe Biden say this to people: There will come a time when the person you miss brings a smile to your face before he brings a tear to your eye. And you won't see it coming, but it'll happen.

Not inconceivable. I actually think James MacArthur should've been McGarrett. Pair him with a great actress like. . . well, Barbara Luna as "Danielle" or "Diane." ("Book 'im, Diane. Please.") Okay, that's it. Let's go back in time and fix the '60s. More actresses in leading TV roles. Who's with me?

Well, thank @amfisher.bsky.social, because his nominee would have been a knockout. I was thinking more readily available actresses to American studios in 1965, and Dame Diana was already shooting "The Avengers." But maybe if she had been courted earlier that year.

In that case, have the alien abduct Jack Lord, and let Diana Rigg captain the ship. That's a show that wouldn't have been cancelled after two or three seasons.

Dame Diana Freakin' Rigg. If GR wanted to blaze a new trail, imagine casting this woman as the first officer. Does anyone seriously think NBC would have said no? Heck, they'd let him have him the pointy-eared guy, just make sure Number One gets abducted by an alien!

I've always doubted Roddenberry's story that NBC rejected the idea of a female Number One. Rather, they didn't like the one GR picked, and he didn't want to shame her by replacing her with a "name" actress who'd fit the role (e.g., Diana Muldaur, Mariette Hartley, Jean Marsh). Imagine if he had.

This movie was made for something like $3.58. What's shocking is that, the story is good. The fact that there are no female roles, and that the men are all anti-heroes, are key to the story. And the story is more of an inflated irony, but it all works out. It stuck in my mind. ("Benson, Arizona...")

Not from the perspective of news media. Occasionally you'll see a little tiny concession about the guy meddling in state elections, peddling national secrets, and attempting a teeny, weeny insurrection. Plus, maybe he's stupid. But preaching autocracy? It's the most obvious fact of all.

The attack against Tp should not be, "What an a-hole the guy is." It should be, "What a fascist this guy is." I mean, I can gripe about the man forgetting Melania's name, or mistaking Haley for Pelosi. But all that's pretty lame compared to, "The man is a fascist."
