There Is A Season, Churn, Churn, Churn
I have been as robust a booster of Apple TV+ since it started, and only partially because so many people I admire and like have worked there. I didn’t pay a penny for it for the first two years I had access to it, as at the time I was upgrading my devices and Apple
You’re Proud Of THIS, Comcast? Really?!?!?
As almost any striking actor or writer has learned over the past few months, how Wall Street and the investment community defines success is a lot different than the barometers their world tends to use. Awards, critical acclaim, buzz and, in many cases, even actual audience, publicly available or not, is secondary to the perception
When You Shut Up And Focus, You Can Learn A Lot More
I don’t know who I’m voting for in the 2024 Presidential election. It’s still more than a year off, and a lot can change in a year. From my perspective, I pray daily and nightly that it does. But my prayers are far more personal than who winds up winning. As is my rationale for
Barking Up The Right Trees
Go ahead, bring on your jokes. We’ve heard them all, and we can make better ones when given the opportunity to do so.

There Goes Mr. Jordan. For Now.
I’ve never been able to get into wrestling, much as I love all sports. And no, I’m not talking about the likes of WWE, which as we know is scripted performance art that emphasizes the E, “entertainment” way more than the second “W”. I’m talking about rassling, as the quiet, socially awkward dude who was
Nothing Trivial About This
I’ve had better weeks, thank you, but I did vow to keep my personal bitching to a minimum. I developed a separate site for such content, and moved a great deal of what used to be contained here over there. This morning, I was prompted to pour out my frustration by a series of events
