A couple of days ago, it looked like author R.L. Stine was fine with edits being made to his books to eliminate "offensive" content. Turns out that he did not agree to this. The edits were made without his consent. They've already done this to Ian Fleming's Bond novels, and given that few seem to be complaining, will continue to do so. Buy print books now, so they can't revise them.
A new movie in the Alien franchise is being made. Check out the cast. The movie will probably not be called "Alien" because, you know, it's offensive to some. So, it'll probably be called "Xenomorph".
Speaking of movies, check out Paramount's new StarTrek poster. Where's Kirk? Oh, yeah. He's too far-right and had to be canceled.
If you're not already getting your drugs from Mark Cuban's pharmacy, GoodRx, you really ought to. It will save you money. He's cut out the pharmacy benefits managers.
Do you have a Ring doorbell? You might want to read this.
About 80% of Portland small businesses saw theft and/or vandalism this past year. I'm guessing their insurance premiums increased, and maybe some no longer have policies? I don't see things getting better, do you? And riding the Max transit is getting to be like riding the subway in NYC. No thanks, Lori. We already have Ted Wheeler.
I missed this story from December, but it is a doozy (if true). How did your investments do this past year? Did they do as well as the American Board of Internal Medicine?
How did they get that money? And I didn't know that in 2014 they set up an account in a bank in the Cayman Islands. The American Board of Pediatrics also made out quite well.
Well now Portland's homeless are punching holes in and possibly threatening the structural integrity of a bridge on-ramp. That's just great. What next?
This is why neighborhoods don't want "behavioral health centers" in their neighborhood. Sidewalk scuffles, people slumped on sidewalks doing drugs, windows smashes in. Gets old, you know?
Are you following the buzz about the J6 videotapes that Tucker Carlson release? The co-chair of the J6 Select Committee just admitted that members did not actually see the videos themselves. They left it to their staff. These are Democrats, folks. Meanwhile, prisoners rot in jail.
This is why we can't have nice things. The scourge of TikTok is even hitting Japan. If I were in the kaiten sushi business, I would get out fast.
