That's Entertainment 2024 (And Throughout The Ages)

 

 I'm from a different time and place, so you'll have to excuse me. 

   

 But 'Bravo!' to True Classic t-shirts: the over-arching concerns of modern life have rarely been so well-depicted. 

   

 OK, I take that back - I forgot Tender Dracula - but, still, it's a good commercial. 

   

 AI's getting good, now, too. 

   

 HBO just dropped 8 seasons of This Week Tonight online, and that's nothing to complain about. 

   

 Especially when, today, you can couple it with Mystery Science Theatre 3000, anytime, too. Wow. 

   

Follow that with the album named something "that showed up on an ouija board at one time."

Choking On Air (To Lose The Wait)

It’s hard being black in France, says Omar Sy after Aya Nakamura racism row, but we're not even getting into that, right now.

More important: Which conspiracy theories have been proved true?

When we find articles saying Everything’s a cult now, it's safe to say TMR's won that debate.

Misinformation has created an alternative world for some Americans, and crawling out of that is not going to be easy.

So we get to watch as Bill Maher Batters His Buddy RFK Jr. Over Anti-Vax Claims, decades after Bill Maher, himself, helped start the Anti-Vax craze RFK Jr. is trapped in.

  Rumors suggest HYBE's involvement in cult religion 'Dahn World' possibly part of why Min Hee Jin wanted to leave but that's rumors for you.

FACT: “Bedknobs and Broomsticks,” a parable for Gardnerian Witches, is a good reminder of the NewAge nonsense the world's been raised on.

I Now Pronounce You "Man And Life" (Followed By The Peals Of Girlish Laughter)

I've been thinking about the wife, lately.

And how popular her ideas about life are, compared to mine.

I mean, I get it, how it all "works."

How large groups of misguided people find themselves put in-charge every once in a while.

Until they're not.

 

 

  Ellen DeGeneres Addresses ‘Getting Kicked Out of Show Business’ on Her New Comedy Tour, but, apparently, says nothing about her relationship with her psychic, who - after supposedly predicting she'd get a popular show - hasn't explained how it's brutal and ruthless ending, at the hands of her formally-adoring public, came without any warning. 

Like the whole thing was some kind of cosmic set-up for a fall.

SIDEBAR: 'I escaped an evil cult lead by my dad when I was 19 years old — but I still love him' - and I hear-the-fuck-out of that. He wasn't predicting the future or anything.

DOUBLE SIDEBAR: Tom Cruise may view his daughter Suri as a 'potential trouble source,' showing how the opposite, of this sort of thing, just sorta "happens."

Anyway, yesterday, the left's SFGate noted San Francisco's Union Square is emptier than ever, when, on the conservative side, the media's also been saying It's a Miracle Anything Gets Built in San Francisco. This is long after TMR noted - in 2007 - "blacks have been leaving, like Jews from Nazi Germany, for years". Needless to say, the media's recent powers of observation suck. No matter how many eyes they claim to have. 

Just as people who are older than the Jesus myth have been ignored, or met with abuse and scorn by Christians, an exodus of blacks meant nothing to the future of San Francisco, or the cool kids on the left or right. They think what they think, and have the power to enforce it. Over reality. 

Today they say things like The Trump trial brings out the juvenile in all of us, when it's now obvious "all of us" has exclusively meant the wicked witch's flying monkeys, who find such things "funny."

Blacks don't, and are flocking to Trump - despite everything. It may not last. As Camille Paglia noted - with the exception of Oprah & Co - "It is a striking fact that few,...African-Americans joined cults."

Speaking of blacks, on a side note, a Houston restaurant employee has been accused of putting his genitals in food items, and possessing child pornography, and - as blacks - we couldn't be prouder. Way to go, Champ. All of our hopes and dreams as a people have come true. Wait - a black Maryland High school athletic director is accused of using AI to fake a racist rant in the voice of his school's white principal? I take it all back. I have seen the future. This is TMR's new idol.

Back to currently ignored observations: Warner Bros. Sets Release Date for Documentary About Real-Life The Zone of Interest Family, because, still, no one (else) has admitted that Oct. 7th was The Zone of Interest, but with the Quentin Tarantino-twist of Gaza's concentration camp victims, suddenly leaping over the wall to murder their captors.

Also, articles that say things like My generation doesn’t know why the heck they’re protesting for Palestine ignore the fact that - when confronted with people who do know - nobody cares about what they have to say. The media just enjoys addressing know-nothings for sport.

Speaking of which: Pope Francis Slammed by Fox News Host: 'Churches Are Empty'
