TONIGHT! Come celebrate Life Day with this terrific line-up of guests!
This clip of @DavidKHarbour tells you everything you need to know to fully understand the meaning of the Star Wars holiday, "Life Day":
And this clip will make you ask yourself, "did Spin Doctors write the 1991 song 'Two Princes' in anticipation of 2015's Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Fallen Empire (the 5th Digital Expansion to the BioWare MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic)?"

Would love to get the # of followers for @GLucasTalkShow up to 1138 & somehow keep it at that number forever, even if it means randomly blocking people to maintain it. (Would that work? Or is there an easier way?)

Please help us reach 1138 in time for our next show on 1/11!
We broke 1000! 138 to go. Can we do this by 1/11?
OK, we are down to the final 89!

I really want to get @GLucasTalkShow to 1138 followers and keep it there forever.

I think we can do it!

R.I.P. Bob Einstein

This is probably my favorite scene in my favorite film of all time, Modern Romance. I remember the first time I saw it, realizing that it was Super Dave Osborne (whom I knew from his great deadpan talk show appearances) & later realizing he was AB's brother
Einstein had maybe the single best deadpan of any late night guest, better even than Grodin at his peak maybe! His bits were always great but my favorite parts were always when the audience would laugh and he would stop and glare at them, or at Dave.
It's just tremendous the way he times those reactions, feeding off Dave's timing and the energy of the audience...

Honestly, I think all the headlines about Holmes & Watson being the worst comedy of the year are going to end up making it a film that people discover later on & are pleasantly surprised that it isn't the worst movie they've ever seen. It is a C- comedy that is getting F- grades
I think all the articles about audiences walking out and it being so bad that even Netflix wouldn't save it give a false impression of it. I also think that critics are always angrier when a movie isn't screened (esp. if it means they all had to spend XMAS day watching it)
This is perhaps an uncool opinion but although the movie is a mixed bag and suffers in comparison to the previous to Ferrell/Reilly pairings, I don't get a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes feeling from this movie. (I guess it's up to 7% now, but still.)

Now we know why a few days ago, @GarShehu was trying to undermine @nigerianstat and the statistician general.

He had clearly seen the unemployment figures, and knew the 43% disaster that was en route, hence the very disgusting behaviour...
But there's another aspect to this nonsense the man tried to pull: asides undermining the integrity of the one organisation that is VERY important for us to climb out of our economic morass, Mr. Shehu's behaviour offered us an insight to how the current government solves problems
Rather than trying to understand the issues, what these characters do is to obfuscate, and try to divert attention.

Mr. Shehu's claim of 12 million people employed by rice alone does not stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever, but he made it anyway.

The alt-right has spent every day since August 12, 2017 using James Fields as a prop. They’ve tried turning him into a martyr, but only for the sake of making themselves out to be victims. They used his prosecution like a tool.

But not one showed up in court to support him.
Greg Conte showed up for one day to meet some minimum demand so he could write a piece about the trial, but that was it. No one was there to make their support manifest in-person; the cold hard wood of the empty bench his only solidarity.
This tells you everything you need to know about fascists. They are in it for nothing but themselves. They have no community, no togetherness, no love.

They have no love.

I will never, ever order from Drs. Foster and Smith @DFSpets again! Their website massively screwed up and as a result my order was shipped to an address I haven't lived at for over 15 years... and they won't reship or refund the order.
This seems to have been caused by allowing the user to login at the end of placing an order, to "associate" the order with the account. I had tried to do this but didn't really expect the login to work since it was so old. And all I got was an error screen so didn't think it had.
When my order which included vaccines and included air shipping didn't arrive, I checked my gmail for the order confirmation, to find I'd only gotten the one from PayPal.

Tells you everything you need to know about those people nostalgic for the white ruling class that they never mention the current crisis we're in, the current crises we're suffering, the sham democracy and our eroding state of being are all a result of the white ruling class.
They like to weave this story as if everything was great because they themselves were so well-served by the old order, but what we're seeing with declining health care and wealth and the opioid crisis and institutionalized racism is all the end-product of that stewardship.
Not to mention the rise of the corporate state where our entire country is tied to a volatile market that serves no one but the wealthy and ensures all laws and government are dedicated to serving their whims and interest. Again, this is the result of the white ruling class.

Okay, so... I'm going to make myself a drink and then we're doing this. Deep dive into Trump's campaign rally speech from Pennsylvania on March 10th.
All my babies already know the drill. For the newer followers - what I do is not fact checking, it's interpretation. Context and content analysis. Political and psychological insights.
This kind of thing has been my calling since Trump's election and I do do it for a living, more or less. If you get anything out of it, if you want to support this kind of work, if you've just got too much money, you can tip in. paypal.me/alexandraerin

This is an extraordinarily important and riveting story everyone should read repeatedly. I'm interested myself to find out why memory of Communist terror doesn't work this way. 1st, important to examine favorite meme of Americans about themselves this doctor helps debunk:
The meme of the American GI bursting into the Nazi death camps of the Holocaust and "saving" people even as they took horrible pictures of them and "revealing to the world this evil" is a very big staple of Holocaust memory, but it is only partially true as we find from a US doc
He *couldn't* save people and wept for 40 years, broken at the memory of a little girl who died and hundreds more, with his family hating him as his soul was poisoned & only his little grandson to hear the story. Horrible!
