Yeah! They had Mary Jo Pehl on a few nights ago with the female cast of the roadshow and previous season. Then J. Elvis Weinstein joined the Servos (minus Kevin) for another riff. So one of the big deals from the Kickstarter is that they're developing something called the Gizmoplex, which is going to be part streaming platform for existing episodes, but also a hub for the subscribers where you can do watch parties of episodes, and for the team to host live events. So far they said it's planned for maybe once a month or so. And I think that's a great idea, because I've never had more fun watching MST3k than I have when I watch it with other people. These watch parties they've been hosting have been worth the cost of what I've put into the Kickstarter, for me.

I really hope they make it. Also, they're screening Werewolf tonight with Bill Corbett. It's phenomenal.

Wait a minute. This is bullshit.

Hahahahaha Ah, they can't stop catering to the right wingers. lol, see below

100% down with "Corn Pop is why Biden is President." Put Corn Pop on Mt. Rushmore.

I like to think that the fact that we got mad at him is how we've reached this point.

I've already pledged $190. I went with the $100 level to get the new season on direct download, AND pitched in an extra $90 with the add-ons to get direct downloads of the Netflix seasons. Also, they've been streaming movies on zoom with various cast members talking, reminiscing, teasing the new season, and riffing. You can watch them all here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFzph9x-n9FR52BI94Zfgww Every single one of the people they've had on is a wonderful comedian, writer, and performer. This show is just so damn good. The future is in good hands.

Hey, I can't fault you for looking on the bright side!

I meant that about the "he'll either be dead or in jail in 3 years" part.

This is breathlessly optimistic.

I've got a lot of criticism for Yang and his dopey ideas, but all of these are 100% on point. They aren't full solutions, but they are moves toward a solution.

I'm curious as to where you see this. This is a daily data dump a guy makes based on state reporting data. Green lines are 7-day moving averages. We're flat.

Numbers here are not decreasing. We've been holding steady in positivity rate (4-6%), deaths (about 10 per day), new cases (about 1,000 per day), recovered cases (also about 1,000 per day), and as a consequence of those last two, we've had a steady number of active cases of about 12,000 to 13,000 since February. Here, it's not going down. We've reached a stasis.

Tennessee just lifted all our restrictions. Two cities have indoor mask mandates, but that's it. The governor even rescinded the ability for counties to establish mask mandates. Pandemic's over.

I'm interested in seeing the list of good things.

Okay, so whatever DARPA is working on regarding our 6th gen fighter jets.

Send pics of the new B-21 to me and JWheel.

The closer we get to the Wild West or Star Wars' Outer Rim, the more badass the country gets. So whatever.

My local dumbass news station run by Meredith Corp decided to air this ridiculous story about some woman who "became paralyzed" after getting the Pfizer shot: https://www.wsmv.com/news/woman-lies-paralyzed-in-nashville-hospital-says-it-happened-after-she-received-pfizer-vaccine/article_78f1b8fa-a4a0-11eb-af84-3311a4f153c0.html?block_id=994460 Pfizer sent in a comment that basically said "we didn't identify paralysis as a thing that happens." The video is wild too because the anchors are covering this story with phrases like "we don't want to cause alarm" or "we believe it's important to cover all sides!" They then dug into the self-reported reaction database that people can fill in all on their own and that resulted in 7 out of 16 million doses. And it was all punctuated with "the vaccine is safe and effective. Covid has killed far more." And if that was it... why fucking run the story in the first place? The lady is epileptic. She says she didn't have a seizure, but I'm pretty sure post-seizure paralysis is totally a thing. Like... Don't run the fucking story if it's just going to be interpreted as "the vaccine might paralyze you."

I'm staying in a hotel for the first time next Monday and Tuesday night on a work trip. I'm kinda worried about exposure, even though I'm fully vaccinated and will have my full immunity by then. And I'm going to a wedding in the middle of May. It feels weird getting back to "normal."

This is from my local paper: Man in Nashville police custody died from 'excited delirium syndrome', autopsy shows WWW.TENNESSEAN.COM An autopsy shows Boyd died as a result of excited delirium syndrome with contributory factors of "cocaine intoxication" and brain hemorrhaging. "Excited Delirium Syndrome" doesn't exist and the cops make that shit up to blame people dying in their custody on literally anything besides being in their custody. But that didn't stop the cops and the paper from getting an explanation laundered through a doctor who is associated with Nashville's fire department: TL;DR is that the cops tased this guy and that gave him a heart attack. Excited delirium - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Doesn't matter. Money isn't real.

Fuck Ted, but Great White Buffalo has some of the tastiest guitar licks ever.

The goofy-ass "Good morning!" at the beginning was amazing. And it just got better from there.
