I can't help thinking that Elvira is like the Lucille Ball of the underworld. I love her sense of humor. Lol

Back in the 80s, 90s we actively shied-away from being on camera. Today in 2025 people openly celebrate a persons death on the internet. I can't really express how shocked I've felt this past week. smh

I can't believe we got a sequel to Tech Noir. Awesome!

Something I wrote over on twitter...

"2023 seems like an a decade ago. I feel very different about politics today, so I unfollowed everyone I saw as highly political. I'm so over politics. So done with division. I lived through the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, people didn't used to be like this.

Back then we mostly cared about enjoying our lives not being left or right. It's as if the internet played this masterful trick on everyone, that really set in around 2016 or so. Currently I feel like I broke out of this "spell" the internet had me under.

I now just keep it simple. I try to see how authentic a person is, not their political affiliation. Because I believe this is the only way we can truly move forward."

A 70s style McDonalds was re-created for a tv show. That's wild. ^^ I guess I have to watch this episode now. So, I happened to find this clip during the holidays when I mostly think of my Dad and how much I miss him. The thought of someone recreating the past like this moves me.
