Foster cat named Rigel, he’s a mirror image of his mother.
Foster cat named Betelgeuse. Note that he’s cuddling with one of the foster fails from last year, the only thing they have in common is that they’re both grey, so it’s interesting that they’re getting along so well.
Nyx and Rigel, that midnight black fur gene is super strong.
Not my cat, but she’s friendly enough when I run into her outside. I have named her Tabby.
I’m growing tomatoes!
Eaglemoss strikes again, one of my final ships and it arrived broken because they mailed it to me naked in a box that was 4 times too big for it. I’ll bet you a dozen donuts that when the actual final ship shows up, it’ll be broken.
I’m going to try this one day, I just bought all the ingredients.
Another of Betelgeuse, he’s a cute little stinker.
Some random cat that found it’s way onto my couch. Might be named Rigel, I forgot to ask him.
The G Word with Adam Conover
Tags:Television, Television Posters, Television Reviews
You may remember Adam Conover from “Adam Ruins Everything” a series that I believe started on College Humor and graduated to TBS, running from 2015 to 2019. It was basically Penn and Teller’s “Bullshit” but with much more hand holding research and documented sources, explaining the ins and outs about everything from office rights to circumcision. “The G Word” feels like an appropriate sequel of sorts, with 6 episodes dedicated to the broad subject of “The Government”, then focusing in on what makes it work vs what causes the abrupt failures it seems to just randomly have every time a Republican is in office. There’s much more cursing in this series, so it’s never going to be a good fit for highschools, which I find disappointing because other than the explicit language this is a damn right informative series that anyone that has doubts about the federal government should check out.
His prescription for solving the issues we currently have feels a bit too Obama-esque with suggestions to run locally and change your locals laws. I’m not entirely sure that would be something that’s going to result in real substantive change that we need, but what’s the alternative? Guillotines and riots in the streets?

It was on my list of movies that I own but hadn’t watched, which I guess is because I had watched it last before I was logging movies. I was happy to go back to watch it again though, as Carrey really did well with the entire premise, even introducing the novel character of “The Claw” something that the insufferable Jerry tries to imitate, but fails every single time. Jerry btw, is played by Cary Elwes, famous to me for The Princess Bride.
Fantastic movie and has aged surprisingly well.
Cat food, LEGO, Big Batteries, An Opossum, and Cat Posers
Our three foster kittens have been eating this stuff, I’m a fan of the name. 
Target had a $20 lego sale, so i bought a couple sets!
I now have a total of four batmobiles I think. There was a ’89 one somewhere in my old work office, I’m not 100% sure it made it home with me, and if it did, where it is now.
Odo is a long cat.
This little guy is alive and just fine, he scared the carp out of me when I was cleaning my car. When I first found him, he was wedged all down into the wheel well and all I saw was his fur sticking out by the door!
My 12 year old UPS battery finally failed, so I was given the opportunity to replace it. Turns out it’s not just one battery in there, but two!
This picture of Miles cracks me up, look at his little belly!
All Cats, one clock
This is the old lady. she’s doing pretty well for her age, but still needs to eat more than she’s eating.
Mama Nyx trying to use her eye balls to make me just adopt her forever. Not going to work Mamanyx! you’re going to be easy to adopt out because of how awesome you are!
My boy Odo putting his best food forward. He’s a foster fail, which isn’t going to happen with the other cats, I swear to god.
This guy isn’t my cat, we named him “Richard” because of the phalic white patch he has, but I think he got in a fight with someone a week or so ago, and now he’s got an infected thing on his face by he eye. I feed him a couple times a day, but again, he’s not my cat, but I still feel bad for the poor guy. Maybe I can get him captured, then fixed, and maybe have his face looked at.
Mama Nyx with her babies, looking as overloaded as a mama can look.
This is the new clock in my home office, I had to throw away my previous one because it had the old version of Daylight Savings Time on it, so it would change the hour at the wrong time, then I’d fix it, then it would change it again. It was literally the worst clock in the house, which is a shame that Republican politics got in the way of technology, but such is life.
Charlotte and Miles canoodling. They do this a lot.
The weight chart for the kittens. We were worried about “socks” for a couple days because he didn’t seem to be gaining weight, but then he did and we didn’t worry any more.
Softball, cats, comics, beer and a G-litter sign
Went to our first college softball game in about 3 years, it was fantastic to get back out there.
There was a massive bird of prey freeloading and watching the game without a ticket. Don’t worry though, he was bounced by some smaller birds that didn’t like him that close to their tree.
Why am I buying Star Trek audio books on tape? Because they’re like $2 each now days, and in mint condition! I doubt I’m ever going to listen to them in this form, but they look fantastic on my shelf, and I can mark them as “owned” over on the Star Trek Book Club
Our foster cat and her surviving four kittens. She had birthed six total, but unfortunately two of them didn’t make it past a week, and it’s been a heart wrenching, emotional week for me trying to save those two guys, but failing.
There was a smaller comic show that I went to and I picked this up. There’s two stories in the book, the first one is the one featured on the cover, the second one is the much better story and is based on “Deep Space Diner”.
Went to a local beer place to pick up some beer for an event. I ended up buying “Image Rendering”, “Strawberry Marg Slushhhh”, “Dadgarnet” , “Fixed Income”, and “Lengthening Coastlines”, but didn’t actually like any of them. The people that were at the event liked about half of them though, so that was a win in my book.
A sign at a local garden, apparently the idiots doing gender reveal parties were littering way too often and needed to be told to not litter at a state park.

The Hunt for Bin Laden
Tags:Movie Posters, Movie Reviews, Movies
Released in 2012 just a few years after the arrest, death, and dumping of Bin Laden’s body into a deep dark grave in the middle of the ocean, this is a good summary of the lead up to the American incursion into a foreign country without their knowledge or permission. It didn’t go as well as we had hoped, one of the two helicopters involved were destroyed, but at the end of the day we got the guy we were looking for. I often forget that he was responsible for upwards of half a dozen bombings before 9-11, as that final attack really overshadowed all the horror and terror that came before it, but it’s important to know that event didn’t happen out of nowhere: there were plenty of signs it was coming and it was the failure of the American intelligence agencies that let it happen. Are things better now? I can only hope so.

There were two movies made with this character, but in those he was played by Tom Cruise, a great actor, but not known for his height or bulk. Alan Richson however, is known for being a tall dude with some absolutely impressive bulk, something he’s been building on since I first saw him back in Smallville or even the failed Aquaman television plot. It was a few year between his Aqua-days and when I saw him next in Titans, and I think he spent the entire time lifting heavy things repeatedly until he gained another hundred pounds in pure man meat. So now we have a character being played by someone that looks like how he’s described in the books. How’s the rest of it? Mind you, I’ve never read any of the 28 (!) books, but from all accounts that I’ve heard, he’s supposed to be a bit like Sherlock Holmes, if Holmes was more boxer brute than investigative savant, and in that regard, I’m pretty happy, there’s enough moments in the series that use the “I see by the dirt on your boot” type of deductive reasoning that I’m personally happy. I’m also super happy with the story they ended up telling in the eight 45 minute long episodes, which was long enough to adapt a book, but not fall into the typical thing that streaming shows do with too much filler.

Knight Rider 2000
Tags:Knight Rider, Movie Posters, Movie Reviews, Movies
Release 3 years before William Shatner’s “TekWar”, this tv movie shares many of the same concepts with freezer prisons, cops that don’t use real guns anymore and a future in which the system running society is absolutely falling apart. In Knight Rider 2000 though, there’s a familiar hero that’s ready to take on the bad guys, along with his recently reconstructed AI companion, this time in a classic car that’s a little less high tech than we’d hope for in a series set in the far away future of the year 2000. The movie itself is a serviceable made for tv situation, but it does have the distinct feel of a failed tv pilot with the ending giving a more than obvious dangling thread that I don’t think was ever picked up in any of the nearly half a dozen attempts at resurrecting the franchise. I’m honestly shocked that NBC/Universal hasn’t already signed a deal with Amazon or Google to bring their digital assistants to the screen on a more regular basis.
Toys
Tags:Movie Posters, Movie Reviews, Movies, Robin Williams
A mediocre film from some pretty great actors, included LL Cool J, who I think has more screen time than anyone else in the film. My displeasure with the film isn’t so much with the intent or even the acting, but there’s something about the sum of the parts that fails to really bring it all together in a way that’s enjoyable. Perhaps the most offensive part is the casualness of the way they treated the “war toys” mentioning only in passing that they were being used to kill thousands of people off screen by the army of young children playing with them ala “Ender’s Game” style, then the lack of seriousness in the final ‘battle’ that takes place in the factory warehouse and play stage.
It’s a good candidate to have a remake made with someone that doesn’t have the unbearable weight of my expectations from a Robin Williams film. He was great with what he was given to do, but the story itself was just non-sense.
Strategies that work for casino Roulette online
Most of us Roulette players place our bets with the main goal of having fun, but it’s always nice to have a secondary goal of leaving the wheel with a profit! Some people believe that there are no strategies that work for online Roulette, but they couldn’t be more wrong – there are plenty of ways to optimise your betting strategies. We’re going to outline some of our favourites for you – here are three strategies that work for casino online Roulette:
– Know your odds
– Quit while you’re ahead
– Manage your bankroll
Know your Odds
One of the most fail-proof strategies to apply when playing Blackjack is knowing your odds, and playing accordingly. The odds in online roulette depend on which region you are playing in, but generally for UK the odds stand as:
| Even money bet | 48.6% |
| Dozen bet | 32.4% |
| Column bet | 32.4% |
| Straight Up bet | 2.7% |
| Street bet | 8.11% |
| Split bet | 5.51% |
| Corner bet | 10.81% |
| Top Line bet | N/A |
| Double-street bet | 16.22% |
Whilst memorizing this list isn’t going to guarantee you win on your bets, it will certainly ensure that you are aware of what you are betting on. Going for an Even Money bet? Sounds pretty safe to me. Going all in with your session winnings on a Straight Up bet? Probably not the best idea – your chances are slim. Go in with this attitude, and you can ensure that you keep your Roulette experience fun and controlled.
Money Management
Imagine you’ve just hit the jackpot on a risky Corner Bet – you are absolutely thrilled, and you feel that urge to try your luck one more time, stronger than ever. Probably not the best idea – it’s time to walk away with your earnings and brag about it to your mates down the pub! It can be so easy to get carried away when riding the wave of Roulette, but it’s so important that you quit while you’re ahead. You’ll never regret walking away with a profit, but you certainly will regret it if you lose your winnings in a spur of the moment risky bet!
Another pro strategy related to your finances is bankroll management. Before a session, allocate a wad of cash for your Roulette bets, and stick to it. Save some cash for your other games of choice and move on when you’ve hit your limit. Having a disciplined and thought out bankroll system is a sure-fire way to enjoy Roulette whilst protecting your winnings!
Assessing your Chances
In conclusion, if someone tells you that they have a strategy to ensure you win at Roulette every time, they’re probably talking rubbish. It’s still a game of chance at the end of the day, so we cannot control what happens within the game. What we can control however, is our awareness of the odds, the way we place our bets, and the amount of money we choose to allocate to our session. These are the true strategies that work when playing online Roulette – no nonsense, just plain logic.

Spider-Man 2
Tags:Comic Books, Movie Posters, Movie Reviews, Movies, Spider-Man
Spider-man 2, much like Iron Man 2, takes an extremely successful superhero and makes him even more successful. Danny Elfman is back on the soundtrack, but I noticed that he definitely tuned down the “Elfman” quality, so it’s more of a Spider-man soundtrack and a Elfman production, which is all well and fine, but that original movie’s soundtrack was absolutely banging. My favorite part of this film was when Doc Oct was just yeeting passengers off the subway train and Spidey was having to scramble to save them all. The movie itself features two massively iconic scenes: walking away from the suit and lifting the impossibly heavy structure. If it’s one thing that the director (Sam Raimi) knows how to do, it’s frame a comic book movie and not just a movie about a comic book character, if that makes any sense.
As for the 4k / hdr, this is a great disk to watch, there’s nearly no film grain / noise reduction and all the bright HDR stuff is suitably bright.
The Dance of Life
Tags:Movie Posters, Movie Reviews, Movies
I bought this at the same time that I bought “Lucky Boy” from the same questionable retailer, though I still don’t feel too bad about that since it’s a 100 year old movie. It has some audio sync issues, some wobbly frames, and some pretty bad hairs stuck in the gate (not biological hairs I assume), but for the most part this is an ok transfer.
It opens on a traveling performance group on a train to their next performance, where one of the just introduced characters named “Skid” is absolutely ripping into his boss and how much of a bum he is, just to find out that the boss was right behind him the entire time. This is a joke that’s over 100 years old! The guy gets thrown off the train and meets the gorgeous Bonny as played by Nancy Carroll, though it’s not love that’s on their minds, it’s pure survival, as they’re both starving, have no place to stay, and no homes to go back to. There’s some discussion about teaming up and the main guy really drives home that he has no confidence or ambition past where he’s been able to get now and has to be nearly forced by the lady to strike out on his own.
They end up finding a home with another circuit performance group, then get a headline gig at a smalltime performance hall. They have a pretty good thing going for them with some amazingly thick chorus girls, but it turns out that Skid has a creeping problem with alcohol, in that he’s not necessarily an alcoholic, and he’s a great guy, but just like any other self respecting alcohol consumer, it sneaks up on him and ends up being the only thing he cares about doing. One of the other performers warns Bonny of this singing a song that I googled and it’s called “The God Damned Dutch (autoplay audio)”. It was a catchy song, but I’m assuming there’s a blend of racism in there against the Dutch that I just don’t understand. Bonny’s the only thing that keeps him on the straight and narrow, and there’s a couple instances of his failing to keep the bottle out of his hand, but between the two of them they do what needs to be done to keep their jobs. They eventually fall in sorta love and decide to get married, saving them a buck or two in the process.
Fortunately for their pocket book, but sadly for his soul, Ski is scouted by a big New York City performance hall and is offered the gig of a lifetime. The only way they can make it work financially is if he goes off to NYC to work and she stays behind to work the old show, but without Bonny there to stop him, most of the extra money he would be sending back home ended up being used for hard liquors. This movie was released in 1928, so it was solidly in the middle of Prohibition in the US, so I can see how there’s a moral story being told here. The setting also lends itself to some interesting things, like when Bonny eventually comes looking for him, she finds him at a bar, but it’s behind two steel gates and the bar keep won’t let her in without a pass. She sees her man being smooched on by another lady, so she gives up on the marriage and petitions for a divorce. Since she’s in NYC she looks up and old friend, which wouldn’t you know it, Skid was heading there after the bar to drink and sing some more. While there, one of the hosts mentions he has some “pre-war scotch” which is obviously from before “The Great War” aka, WW1, and it was pre-war because it was grandfathered in with the prohibition laws.
To remind you, this is a film from 1928. All that above? That gets us to about half way through the movie! It’s two hours long! The second half of the film is a series of performances from Skid, starting with some absolutely fantastic performances, one that includes precursor to the Michael Jackson Lean, which now that I’ve seen this 100 year old movie, I know that plenty of people knew how MJ did that 60 years later, he just copied what was done here in this film and moved forward instead of left to right. Genius!
From there though, Skids performances start to decline, he’s got Bonny on the mind and no one there to stop him from drinking. During a performance of “The Matador” he’s too drunk to even stand up straight, so it’s Bonny to the rescue. She had been warned that he was off track, and she showed up and set him straight, sobering him up enough to be able to walk, then slowly get more sober as the performance goes on. We don’t get to see him during this time, which I think is a great way to do it, instead we’re shown the stage hands as they move set dressings, curtains, lights, and all that jazz, making bets on if he’s going to make it through the next performance or not. The final dance routine goes up and we finally get to see Skid somewhat sober and Bonny giving it her best, and they’re talking while dancing, and make a decision that she’s going to move to NYC and cancel the divorce petition. I’d say that at this point the credits roll, but like most movies at the time, only the people with voice parts get credited, and those credits were at the beginning of the film, so the film just wraps up super quick, then it’s over.
It’s an absolutely whirlwind of a film that I’m shocked I enjoyed as much as I did.
Halloween Kills
Tags:Halloween, Movie Posters, Movie Reviews, Movies
Picking up immediately after 2018’s “Halloween”, we find Laurie Strode being transported from her death trap of a house to have emergency surgery for the stabbings she received during Michael’s assault on her fortress of death. Passing her on the way to her house? Fire trucks and first responders! The inevitable happens and there’s a ton of dead firefighters left behind as Michael is freed from his fire cage. From there it’s a paint by numbers horror story that never fails to show the absolute brutality of the violence that Michael is imparting on the town, all while being able to have some genuinely creepy and suspenseful moments that I enjoyed much more than the pure torture porn that modern horror has seemed to absolutely fallen in love with.
There’s a smearing of social commentary here as well, with some heavy handed mob justice standing in for online witch hunts and vigilantes. There’s mob justice vs innocent people, then there’s mob justice vs Michael, neither one of them end very well for one side or the other, but there’s something endearingly humorous about a mob that includes clowns and mimes chanting “evil dies tonight”.

How Fair Is an Online Casino in Poland?
A primary concern among most casino gamers whenever they sign up to a polish gambling site is whether the casino is fair or not. That’s because they know without integrity on the site they join, they might end up losing everything.
Also, there has been an increase in online casino sites in Poland, especially since the pandemic started. The strict policies regarding how Polish citizens should conduct themselves amidst the pandemic have seen most of them join the gambling sites.
Gaming is currently a major activity for Poles who want to pass time. You’d probably want to join the casinos, or maybe you have joined but also wondering- are online casinos fair? We linked up with our gaming expert Klara Czerwinska (view profile), to enlighten you on the key aspects that relate to fairness in online casinos. Check out the subsequent section.
Is gaming on the Polish online casinos unfair?
If you have been losing at the online casinos consecutively, you may begin to think that they deliberately make you lose so that they get a profit. But that’s completely the opposite. Casino gaming is a business that is under the close watch of the regulatory authorities, and that cannot happen especially if you are gambling at a licensed casino.
For a long time, some people have been suspecting particular types of online games because they believe that they make them lose intentionally. The Polish casinos cannot make you lose because they also value their reputation.
There is high competition in the polish online casino gambling space currently. That makes online casinos do everything possible to uphold their reputation. Trusting reviewed automaty online na pieniadze is the first step towards having fair platforms.
If you fail to win as you expect, your game selection could probably be off. Choosing games with a high house edge will limit your chances of winning big at the casinos. However, they increase the chances of the house hence putting them in a position to win more.
For instance, playing slot games will reduce your chances of winning compared to when you play card games such as blackjack. Card games often have a lower house edge, thus increasing your chances of winning higher.
However, there are instances where you might be shocked that the casinos cheat especially when giving the payouts. They might indicate that they do 100% payout only to give you 95%. That’s a fraud that you shouldn’t be silent about. Report to the gambling authorities to help you solve the issue in time.
Things to check out to avoid becoming a victim of unfair site
Is the site regulated
There are many gambling authorities globally that help in overseeing the major operations in the casino sector. Every country has a gambling authority that handles the licensing of casinos and other vital aspects of gambling.
They ensure that the games offered on the casino do not get rigged and that fairness remains a priority on such casinos. If you join a regulated casino, you will be on the safer side and avoid your casino outcomes from the rigging.
Have the games gone through independent testing
The term might sound sophisticated, especially when you hear it for the first time. Independent testing refers to a scenario where each of the casino games goes through independent analysis to ascertain that they are ideal for you.
Asking yourself questions such as “is online blackjack fair” is not enough as you have to consider if the game has undergone independent testing or not.
Research about the casino
You must be aware that not every casino that claims to be licensed has a license and is a fair casino. Licensed casinos will always want to display their licenses on their website. If you note that you are on a site that does not display the license or any sign of a regulatory authority, you will know that it’s not legit.
Also, check on the kind of games offered alongside the bonuses. There are illegitimate sites that use bonuses to entice gamers into joining them, only to be shocked that they are not offering players exactly what they need.
As you can see, the casinos are fair. However, it also depends on the site you choose to join. If you join the wrong site, you might end up losing.

An Apology
I owe my 45-supporting friends an apology (?). I’ve been critical of the trump presidency these last four years, and am still exhausted from the experience.

Bliss

What does a post-need society with Matrix level technology do with itself? Turns out that even when we have absolutely everything we need, there’s still stuff to complain about, so dipping into the Matrix from time to time will, in theory, remind us to enjoy the world we live in. But what if the world we choose to go to is more enticing than the world we left? What if the post-needs society isn’t real at all?
‘Bliss’ is an enjoyable twist on a familiar narrative, Wilson and Hayek show off their considerable acting chops and sell a movie that in lessor hands would have failed to launch.

Star Wars Republic Commando
Tags:Game Reviews, Gaming, Star Wars
It took me a bit longer than normal to clear this game, I kept failing to remember that I was playing it and got completely sidetracked by a space dwarf mining game, but I eventually made it happen. The game is 15 years old at this point, from three console generations ago, but thanks to the backward compatibility system that xbox has, I was able to play it on my Project Scorpio xbox one x. There’s times that it shows it’s age, but those times thankfully don’t happen very often and with the console’s 4k uprezing system the game even looks pretty good, despite the age. I was particularly impressed with the squad mechanics, many games have tried this sort of thing, but only a few get it right, which I think Republic Commando definitely did.
The only major complaint I have about the game is that your commando squad is made of four clone troopers, the player is one and the other three have names, but they also have colors: red, yellow, green. I spent the entire game, right up to the final level, being concerned that two of my guys were injured in some way that I couldn’t figure out. It wasn’t until I was watching the extra videos that I found that contribution was suggested by Lucas himself.
It would be easy to look at gameplay and think this is just a reheated Doom clone and while you may be right in some minor ways, I’d say it does enough with the Star Wars lore to make it worthy of your time if you’re interested in the Droid Attack on the Wookies.
