What are you watching?

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Well, you could always resign your moderator status.
Sucks for you that no one else wants GoCubsGo to do that. YOU could always leave.

I have a better idea: you resign as mod, and I'll stay.

Agreed. But I really want Mike and Maryanne gone. They're like from ngernails on n a blackboard - if there's anybody who remembers what a blackboard is.
Interesting episode tonight.

Still a bit with the woke aspect but also spot on.

Are you watching "Beyond the Edge" that comes on after "Survivor"? It's surprisingly better than I expected. Sort of like a "Celebrity Survivor" with some "Amazing Race" competitions thrown in. The former basketball player sometimes known as "Metta World Peace" is a major wimp. Literally afraid of the dark.
The host just sucks. I can't tell if he's trying to be a caricature or if he's really that big a dweeb.


Still not really grooving on it.

They weren't wrong about people of color being voted out disproportionately early and often (and they were obviously painfully aware).

There have only been four black winners (maybe five with Natalie Anderson) and eight winners of color with Sandra winning twice and one being season 41.

What they probably aren't getting is most of the people they're talking about were big threats to win.

Just saw this.

Tonight on local PBS, the American Experience program, "The Polio Crusade" was aired again.

It brought back memories of my childhood. Of waiting in line to get a shot in the arm. And, then, later, waiting in line to drink some vaccine from a paper cup. That was a lot easier. Polio was a Big Thing in the 1950's.

Good program; catch it if it comes round your way again.

Or get it off the internets with some gizmo.

Google still broken? Or, just watch it directly without waiting, gizmo or membership.

vimeo sounds a lot like gizmo; therefore, they are the same thing
to those among us who can't admit their screw-ups and who is frequently seen uselessly arguing with stop signs.
