They want to overturn a free election and install a king, but their rallying cry is “1776.”
I SWEAR to you — I cannot conjure a more obvious example of Orwellian doublethink.
It’s just so goddam weird.

Harry N. Abrams (Abrams Books). I cannot determine the artist here — my best guess would be that it is Glyn Dillon, concept artist for the film.
The Roanoke Times prints my letter about Tucker Carlson’s January 6th misinformation.
I am so pleased today to see The Roanoke Times print my letter about Tucker Carlson’s efforts to misinform the American public about the January 6th, 2021 attack on our nation’s capital. You can find it right here in today’s paper.
The Roanoke Times is Virginia’s third-largest newspaper, serving 19 counties throughout the southwest portion of the state. Its weekday readership is estimated at 163,000 people.
WORD.
Today’s agenda — in the spirit of straight-edge punk, I need to spearhead a movement for “straight-edge dorks.”
No drugs or alcohol for me. I can get weird and moronic on my own, OLD SCHOOL.

Throwback Thursday: “Prisoners of the Lost Universe” (1983)!
I remember being thrilled with “Prisoners of the Lost Universe” (1983) when I found it flipping channels in the mid-1980’s. Out of curiosity, I hunted down a online copy during one of my recent episodes of insomnia. (You can find the full movie just under the trailer below, courtesy of the good people at Flick Vault.)
The film … didn’t hold up well over time. (I could only endure about the first half hour.) Oh, well. Not everything can be the goofy rediscovered gem that my beloved, rediscovered “Spacehunter” is.
But I’ll always remember being delighted by this ham-handed parallel universe tale when I was a kid.
By the way, the hero here is none other than Richard Hatch of “Battlestar Galactica” (1978) fame.
At the T.T.
