I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

If the USians seem extra spicy today, it's because our complicated Federal taxes are due today, even while they promise to take away everything that the Federal government does for us.

if you see free pamphlets for "crisis pregnancy centers" they're free you can take as many as you want so they don't accidentally trick someone actually in crisis

[Lyrics before bed]

I’m lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.
Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.

So I'm lying here just staring at the ceiling tiles,
And I'm thinking about, oh what to think about.
Just listening and re-listening to Smiley Smile,
And I’m wondering if this is some kind of creative drought.
Because...

I’m lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.
Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.

@Orb2069 - I loved The Gong Show and still do. I never saw the movie, though. I've heard it's mostly outtakes the couldn't show on TV. We'll find out....

Okay, seeing Nate from the Internet pop popcorn while the kernels were still on the cob was pretty awesome:

@Nezchan @socketwench - pretty much. The king and arduous task of making and remaking pitches for a Star Trek movie with Paramount continually rejecting them made them lock into the Phase II pilot when Paramount said the pilot is what they wanted in a movie.

The two main production disasters during filming were the constant ego driven rewrites between Gene Rodenberry and Harold Livingston and the original effects company failing to deliver a single shot after a year.

That we got a movie at all was amazing.
