Bucky Barnes standing by a motorcycle and holding up a weapon in Thunderbolts.

Checking out “Thunderbolts” and I can already tell it’s fiction because it features a sitting Congressman doing something about rogue government administrators.

Coffee poured from a pot into a black mug.

🎶 I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive, and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup 🎶

It was so good!

A play I’ll that says “Hadestown - Teen Edition.”

Went to a high school production of Hadestown tonight. The musicians terrific, production design amazing, the young performers incredible. I left reminded of the importance of art (whether making or enjoying) even (or especially) in, dark times.

Awful times for everyone.

Just his general shrugging in the last day at the prospects of deadly repercussions to people for his actions.

He absolutely wants an attack on domestic soil to exploit.

Homer Simpson in winter coat and hat stands by a calendar that says “Smarch” as the month. The meme says “Lousy Smarch Weather.”

Lousy Smarch Weather

The disappointment I felt thinking I had left the banana at home.

The joy I felt when I got to the office, reached into my coat pocket and discovered it was there.

Living in a world narrated by William Dozier.

Silver Age comic book cover of World's Finest 129 (1962). Joker and Luthor are revealed from what looks like a floating pocket watch. Batman and Robin trip over the watch's coils and Superman, swooping in, is essentially vaporized by Luthor's ray.

Actually kind of horrific for a Silver Age cover when you think about it.

Michael Cera as George Michael Bluth on Arrested Development, forcibly laughing. Closed caption says -[forced laughing]

Another day begins…

Vincent Price makes a soufflé.

"What is it good for?

"Absolutely nothin'."

Never enough money for health and education. Always enough money for war.

Ed Wood (1994)

“Really? Worst film you very saw? Well, my next one’ll be better!”

Scrooge McDuck and grand nephews present a birthday cake with one candle to Donald Duck.

Youngest watching Ducktales short where Scrooge complains about how much new candles would cost him each year at his age.

Youngest: How old IS he?!

Me: Very old.

Youngest: Like, in his fifties?!

A branch in the foreground, snow-covered woods in the background.

Just heard a local radio commercial exclaim, “mow the lawn, break out the grill, and turn up the tunes!”

Meme image of Leonardo DiCaprio pointing.

Collection of Madge Blake appearances on I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, Bewitched and The Addams Family.

Me whenever Madge Blake shows up somewhere that’s not Batman.

Jim Downey in green polo shirt, glasses and white mustache, wearing headphones on Conan’s podcast, asking to clarify in a hilarious bit. Go watch it.

The FIFA Peace Prize Winner?

Can’t wait to see how Mike Johnson avoids hearing anything about this.

Meme from Norm MacDonald’s appearance on Conan where he roasted an upcoming Carrot Too movie called Chairman of the Board, sitting next to movie costar, Courtney Thorne Smith. The meme uses the same joke saying “bet it’s spelled “b-o-r-e-d of peace” to roast the political money laundering group that takes billions of dollars from people to go to those waging wars.

Ginger Rogers fighting with another woman in the 1938 film, Vivacious Lady.

“You can’t keep posting 1930s film stills of Ginger Rogers for no reason.”

The reason:

Black and white image of Fiorello LaGuardia with hand on a lectern, and finger in the air, speaking. Image not necessarily from same time as quite in post.

“We have witnessed…a wicked and heartless government, controlled by the connivance of the privileged few, for their benefit, disregarding the rights of the many and the comfort and happiness of the population of the entire state.” - Rep. Fiorello LaGuardia, taking aim at his own party, Dec 11, 1922.

Action figures of Toxie, Headbanger, and Junkyard (whose legs are broken and lying in front of the figure) sit on a desk.

Went through a box at my parents’ house and came across some of my old Toxic Crusaders figures.

Poor Junkyard’s seen better days.

You don't need to watch. There is no reason to watch.

Trust me. If something noteworthy happens, you'll hear about it. If something stupid happens (much more likely), you'll hear about it.

You don't need to watch.

Jughead and Veronica atop a parade float. She is the Carnival Queen and he is Old Man Winter. Jughead says “chomp chomp! This beard tastes just like shredded wheat.”

Get your fiber where you can.

Bugs Bunny in a rag dress and crop top, with lipstick and a bow from the 1950 short “Hillbilly Hare.”

An entire regime that could be duped into anything by Bugs Bunny in a dress.

So last week I was furloughed and coming back to my inbox today on this Monday of Mondays is....hoooo boy.
