Politics Corner July 5

  


beware of Harlan Crow

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.

 Happy Independence Day I spend much of my time here complaining about all of the many faults of this country. I see the Declaration of Independence as barely the beginning of a long, imperfect and incomplete experiment. It's easy to lose sight of how far we've come when we've sunk so low.

This Weekend in Pop Culture: July 3-5

Welcome to the Weekend in Pop Culture! Let's examine what's coming out in theaters this weekend.

Minions & Monsters
What a strange sequel to "Gods and Monsters."

Young Washington
George Washington, depicted before his Presidency or the Revolutionary War or anything else most people would care about.

The Justice Department is still determined to bury any evidence of pedophile rapist Donald Trump's connection to Jeffrey Epstein to stonewall any real Epstein investigation. And if you talk about Stonewall it had better be Stonewall Jackson because slavery is good and not Stonewall Inn because queers are not.
