Gratuitous Dino Fetscher

His character in Apple TV's Foundation series was killed off this week. I am very disappointed.

Speaking of Foundation, if you have AppleTV+ and you like sci-fi, I would strongly suggest checking it out. Since my teens I have attempted to read the souce material several times, but never got far enough in that it held my interest. It's very dense; perhaps even moreso than DUNE, and try as I might I just couldn't get into it.

That being said, even Season One of this series had me reaching for the remote on more than one occasion. But I stuck with it, and my patience has paid off in Season Two. I think I finally understand what is going on in Asimov's universe, and as we near the end of this season, I have to admit I am very engaged.

As I said, I never made it more than about 50 pages into the book, but I seriously doubt it was as gay-inclusive as Apple's telling of the story. Glawen Curr (Fetscher, himself an out-and-proud queer actor) and Bel Roise (Ben Daniels) are a married same-sex couple in the series, but they aren't the only one. It was still kind of surprising when it was first revealed—but I know it shouldn't have been. We are talking a story that takes place literally thousands of years in the future.

For The MAGAIDIOTS In The Back

For the MAGAIDIOTS in the back: Apparently the last remaining firing synapse in your collective possession has shit the bed once & for all and this info just ain't getting through your thick skulls and into your cavernous craniums of cultish cluelessness, so here we go again- It is NOT "election interference" to schedule ANY of your rotting gourd God's MANY trials before the 2024 election.

The law doesn't give a fuck if he's running for President of the Raccoon Scat Association in The Greater Booger Hole area or President of the United States.

It cares as much about Super Tuesday as it does Superfly Snuka. He is a defendant just like any other Joe Shmoe charged with crimes and he has to appear in court whenever the fuck the Judge says he has to appear in court.
For all your endless whining about a "two-tiered justice system" when it comes to Hunter Biden's dick pics you'd think you'd understand that granting special treatment to a private citizen who decided to campaign in the middle of his indictments ain't how this shit works.

But you don't understand that, because you've opted for your usual willful ignorance instead.

And for the record, he announced his candidacy AFTER most of these investigations were already well underway.

So if this shit is anything, it's "Indictment interference".
But here's the thing about all of this- no one cares how this makes you
"feel". No one cares if you're mad or sad or threatening "civil war."

No one is above the law in this country. No one.

And either we are a nation of laws or we are not.

If you love America as much as your "Star Spangled & Hammered" beer koozie says you do, you'd actually understand how crucially important it is to hold Donald Trump to the same legal standards as anyone else.

And yet…
