Can’t he sell his title to the highest bidder?

Tonite’s family Xmas viewing will be Chicken Run Part 2

That sounds like fun. Thinking of watching the horror flick Bad Things (on Shudder) Think “The Shining” through an LGBT lens. I’m mostly interested because my ultimate celeb crush, Molly Ringwald, has a supporting role:

and I can’t help but be drawn like a moth to a flame even if it’s a good or bad film 😉

The story of the NUTS! reply

I sometimes forget that this is a modern Christmas Story about the proper way to reply to Nazis:

Editors Note:

This story retraces the events of December 22nd, 1944 at Bastogne, Belgium; the day we received German surrender ultimatum and issued the subsequent “Nuts!” reply.

Hah! I remember reading that George V once said that someone awarded the VC would be able to wear it on the scaffold for nothing done by him later could erase the bravery that deserved it. But he’d have rolled on the floor laughing at Rudy…

Santos got both the MoH and a VC for pulling SP4 Trump and a British Brigadier out of a burning M113 at Chu Lai.

From the uk.gov website:

Your honour can be withdrawn (or ‘forfeited’) for a variety of reasons. This might include being found guilty of a criminal offence, behaviour which results in censure by a regulatory or a professional body, or any other behaviour that is deemed to bring the honours system into disrepute.

Brave Sir Rudy touches ‘em all.

I believe marrying a rich American has always been the go-to move.

I’m actually seeing people on Bluesky today saying the US and Israel are much worse for queer people than… RUSSIA.

You don’t even have to search very hard to find information that shows what a ludicrous and ignorant opinion that is.

Would Bluesky have that kind of troll infestation yet? I have no doubt that tankies and others are indeed that stupid or dishonest — or maybe gullible?

He is actually awake and cheerful, sitting up and eating hospital food with gusto! His foot was xrayed & repaired but they are monitoring his heart. He will be a guest of the hospital for another day or two. We hope he can be discharged by Wednesday.

so… was Jason Momoa extremely gorgeous? Did his wardrobe show enough muscle and skin, did his hair flow beautifully?

(secondarily… was there a decent script and supporting cast? If not, not necessarily a dealbreaker, as long as you answered yes to previous questions.)

Remember, when trying to menace your entire population over the holidays and not so subtly remind them of the Dirty War, make sure to have your photographer climb up on ladder so you look like a weird threatening little hobbit.

So I posted photos of my cats, including Sport, last night. I just finished a late lunch, and he wanted to help, so I offered him my empty plate, and he just mopped up all the Italian tomato sauce with onions and mushrooms. He is an odd cat.

It’s written by a Yiddish scholar who has not found Jesus. If I lived in the area (and knew Yiddish), I’d see it.

From the article, it’s clear that he believes in Jesus.
