The Golden Globes Were One Battle After Another. Including A Few Better Left Unwaged.
I’ve had a love/hate relationship with the GOLDEN GLOBES ever since I was fortunate enough to attend a couple in person and to be part of history at once particularly game-changing one where Michael Chiklis stunned the experts and even us colleagues by copping a Best Actor upset and giving me the one chance I’ve
They’re Dropping This Mic.
NOTE: This musing also appears today on our sister site The Double Overtime. Please visit it regularly for coverage of sports of all sorts plus occasional essays on business and technology. Yes, I’m well aware it’s still very much winter and football season, and if we needed any reinforcement of that three of the last
The Newest KKK. Arguably Scarier Than The Last.
Since I decided to immerse myself in whatever one might dub this series of musings, I have learned that ofttimes there are really only two basic kinds of responses to whatever has happened to inspire them–you laugh or you cry. I frequently use what I consider to be humor to deflect from some of the
The Pendulum Pivots Back To THE PITT. And An Otherwise Forgotten Genre.
It was just about a year ago when we mused quixotically about HBO MAX’s THE PITT. When S1E1 dropped it drew plenty of comparisons to ER due to its pedigree and casting. Over the course of that season and beyond it began to mirror the former show more and more in terms of accolade and
All Is Forgiven. R.I.P.
I suppose I’m a tad luckier than most that I haven’t had to deal all that much with folks I know dying before their time. When it has happened recently, I’ve tried to go out of my way to at least show up at their memorials if they are open to the public. It’s called
Humans Are Still Going To The CES. For Now.
The surest sign that we’re officially done with the holidays has been the staging of Consumer Electronics Show, which gathers executives flush with year-end bonuses in Las Vegas and plops them into a dazzling celebration of everything new and exciting in tech and enough open bars to push a preponderance of them to drop a
Vuh Den, Versant?
Yesterday began such a celebratory day for the fine folk at the hodgepodge somehow labeled Versant. Their key executives got to play bell ringers to open the first full trading day of 2026 , with the cameras of their crown jewel CNBC (revised logo and all) covering them. And they’ve actually decided to establish roots
It’s BROADCAST News. Just Like The Movie.
For the record, I did watch the onset of the Tony Dokoupil era of the CBS EVENING NEWS and, for whatever it’s worth, for me he didn’t evoke any memories of Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather or even Jeff Glor. But he did remind me an awful lot of Tom Grunick. Oh, c’mon you millennials and
Barack To The Future?
The fat farting fuhrer is on the warpath again. (Literally). Fiddlesticks, or something to that effect that also begins with the same letter. Once again, for reasons best known only to him and perhaps his dark web chat buds, he has chosen to disrupt a perfectly dull and dreary stay-at-home weekend, a truth pretty much
