“The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent” looks like the best kind of bonkers. It also looks like a regular studio movie with a decent budget, so maybe his career will get back onto track. Not that “Willy’s Wonderland” wasn’t a hoot, but small films like that aren’t going to pay for castles filled with dinosaurs.

I’d love to see this catch on in grade schools. It would be a hoot to see how teachers who screech on about their pronouns and end up on Libs Of TikTok would react to a lil’ dickens busting out with this version of the song…

YouTube decided that I needed to see the video below. It’s from a channel I’d not previously heard of, one that seems to be a pro-Lutheran satirical religious channel. Most of the time, that’s a description I’d generally pass on… but hey, the Babylon Bee pushes a religious agenda that I generally don’t agree with or have much use for, and they’re funny as hell and generally politically insightful. So i took a look. It’s not hilarious, but it makes a valid point: if you are going to try to batter someone for their political views based on what you think their religious views are, maybe you aughtta have some understanding of them. And there is a case to be made that if you think their religion is bunk, using their religion to batter them for their politics does at least to an extent not make much sense. Because if Jeebus is fictional, his opinions on this that or the other are kinda pointless.

Of course there is also the possible valid counter-argument of “you’re being hypocritical.” If your religion clearly and distinctly says Pro-X, and your politics says Anti-X, then the two are in conflict. And if you use your pro-X religion to buttress your anti-X politics, then… well, that ain’t right.

Example: politicians who claim that their Christian faith causes them to be opposed to the personal ownership of defensive weapons.

Ahem:

King James Bible
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

I do wonder how well that would work in the real world. In parts of California, stealing less than $950 is a misdemeanor, more than $950 is a felony. The practical  upshot is that local prosecutors don’t bother with going after the misdemeanor thefts, because that would require doing their jobs and that would get them accused of -ism by brainless activists. Slapping a felony-level price tag on a candy bar seems like a clever solution, but I suspect that the prosecutors would be just as diligent in letting the newly minted felons go.

There was a zoom call in 2020 with a number of the major players in the saga of the Kenosha Kid. And what makes the video below awesome is that one of the villains of the piece, the Commie granny-basher with the illegally concealed firearm, suffers a furniture fail on camera. Behold as Rittenhouse and his lawyer try and fail to restrain their laughter. It’s like watching Jeffrey Dahmer or Stalin slip on a banana.
