Hulk Hogan died earlier this week, yet another larger-than-life celebrity who transcended generations based on his earlier success as a performer and his later success as a reality TV personality. But unlike the similarly auspiced Ozzy Osbourne, whom we warmly mused about earlier this week, Hogan was the epitome of an enigma–a word that contrary … Read more
I finally got around to watching the season premiere of SOUTH PARK last night, though thanks to the dozens of stories that popped up in my inbox I already had a pretty good idea of what it was about. The fact that I still had the ability to even access it all on Paramount Plus … Read more
I get both amazed and agitated when I notice what seems to stick beyond the usual lifecycle of a few hours in this world of instant gratification and entitled ADD sufferers who have made sober-curiosity and mushroom/cannabis elixirs at $10 a can ubiquitous enough for even someone as seasoned as moi to be aware that … Read more
I’m thankfully not as invested as it sure appears an awful lot of otherwise respectable people seem to be in the apparent deep, dark secrets surrounding the life and death of Jeffrey Epstein, and in particular what notable people may or may not have been his friends, even if that may have been in the … Read more
At the risk of being redundant (yeh, I know, so out of character), it’s been a challenging weekend.

When we first began musing just about four years ago, it was always my intention to merely incorporate such thoughts into their relevance to media and my life. But as any cursory search of any entertainment news aggregator this … Read more
I’m truly exhausted to the point where it is literally causing me physical pain, so try and cut me a little slack if my usual level of intolerance for poorly executed strategies is a bit enhanced.
