There's more than one story today. There's the Turtle death watch which is rivaling the Shitgibbon death watch for ratings.
Platner, however, lost his ratings, his voter lists and most importantly his fundraising. McConnell and Trump may or may not be dead but they are still raking in fool's gold

What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Style and Substance
 |
| A Woman of Substance |
There is no try! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, July 8!
Our Top Pick tonight is A Woman of Substance (BritBox, 3 a.m.). Based on the popular book, this British import stars Jessica Reynolds and Brenda Blethyn as Emma Harte, who rises from a penniless maid to powerful business mogul 60 years later. The key events revolve around her being betrayed by her aristocratic lover, and her vow of revenge on the family shapes her rise in business. Then the elder Emma must deal with a betrayal within her own family. This sounds like my cup of tea.
Elsewhere, Trying is back for season 5, a body hit the Oval floor, chefs react to Kitchen Chaos, fact checkers bring Maximum Pleasure, the X-Men and En Sabah Nur facture, and CrunchyRoll rolls out lots of new anime.

I had a lot to say last night. If you missed it I recommend that you look back. It's not often that I let myself go on a tear and I tend to be careful when I do. I was in a cautious celebratory mood yesterday which seems appropriate for this time in our history. It's time to own up to our faults and learn how to fix them.
Tomorrow? That's another story completely. It's my mom's birthday and a big round one. My dad's death may have been complicated but my mom has always been a blessing. Maybe Alien Jesus might have had a better Alien mom than mine but I'm gonna need some proof.

What's On Tonight (Sunday): Her House was her castle and her keep
 |
| House of the Dragon |
Who's got you? Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 5!
Our Top Pick tonight is House of the Dragon (HBO & HBO Max, 9 p.m.). Now in it's third season, the Game of Thrones prequel continues the tale of the Dance of the Dragons, a war of succession that took place about 200 years before the parent series and 100 years after the Seven Kingdoms were united. I have always had an appreciation for the show, even though not everything always landed. And this season is... quite good. (I say cautiously.)
Elsewhere, Sharkfest is back, Lestat records an album, Rick and Morty evolve, an Age of Electricity finds its Sparks, tea Built America, and go into the Chibiverse.
