My oldest son loved playing with My Little Pony

My Little Pony finally made it to the winner’s circle.

After years as an also-ran, the pastel-colored ponies were enshrined in the National Toy Hall of Fame on Tuesday, along with Transformers action figures and the Phase 10 card game.

Ken-Dogger: Morning Ajax, what up?

Ajax: It's about to go down...

KD: Wha...just cause the Mikster's home? You think that changes my behavior?

A: Yep...

KD: Well, there ain't as much 'change' as there used to be, I've lost a little giddy up.

A: 'Bout time, was wondering when that shift was occurring.

KD: That shift tends to be more bent when the Mikster's home.

A: It's called accommodation, it does a married body good.

Could we reshoot the beginning of the movie RED DAWN?

But this time we'll show the American-Russians already on the ground and infiltrated.

Intolerance is not the same as choosing what you will tolerate.

Bigly military muscle...

Bigly bandstand for review

QOTD: What is the official date the US Democrats turn over their control of the World's climate to the Republicans?

And will there be a parade?

@AkomoCombine

Oh, yes, right...hang it on a buddy...

Good strategy

I used to do that until it became public knowledge of my 'alleged' perversions.

Hehehe

@grayman @GaryPoole

I've been devouring scooby snacks since the 60s.

That article from Bill Press I posted yesterday talked about this voting group of non-college educated white males, a significant voting bloc for Trump.

As I was processing Press' point, it came to me about all this Resettlement effort.

This non-college educated group of white males, frustrated, under employed and misogynistic would make a 'wonderful' employment source for all the Resettlement Camps.

Are there historical references for this?

@grayman @GaryPoole

Does it involve copious amounts of weed also?

Because I could totally enjoy this hobby.

Who is tracking any uptick in BABBEL subscriptions since the US election?

Suddenly, US citizens see a need to be bilingual.

You have porn sites on speed dial, this is way cool!!

Chicago in 2003.

The four movie musicals that won Best Picture in the 1960s are: West Side Story (1962), My Fair Lady (1965), The Sound of Music (1966), and Oliver! (1969).

Movie musicals trivia

With the hype for the Wicked movie building, here’s a trivia question on the genre:

What was the last movie musical to win the award for Best Picture at the Oscars?

Bonus question for 1,000 points: Four musicals won Best Picture in the 1960s.

Can you name them?

THIS WENT TOTALLY UNDER THE RADAR...Anyone get a Wicked Doll?

What else is brewing

Mattel apologized after it accidentally printed the URL for a porn site on the packaging for its new Wicked dolls.

On COP 29

Vibes could be better: Forty-eight fewer heads of state are addressing COP29 than last year. Xi Jinping and Joe Biden—presidents of the two biggest oil-producing countries—won’t be there, and the island nation of Papua New Guinea is boycotting the 12-day-long summit, which it called “a “total waste of time.”

And the USA elected a climate denier...

Robert B. Reich with a different take on the US Election

Now that Trump has been reelected and his Republican lapdogs are in control of the Senate and likely to be in control of the House, it’s critically important for Democrats, progressives, and everyone concerned about social justice to see where the anger in America’s heartland has come from, to channel it toward its real causes, and to commit to taking power back from the big corporations, CEOs, and billionaires.
