Obligatory disclaimer: real life sucks. Why? Because it
changes, and usually it bad ways. Just look at how the Donald had handled his
latest interview questions done by an Afro-American female journalist. Yowch!
Now his life will turn to worse yet again – why does he still want to remain
the POTUS, again? If he had left the office, especially before the COVID-19
start, he would have been forgotten by now, and the others would have let him
go!..
…Or not, as Kendall Jenner’s case shows. Way back in 2017
she participated in an especially tone-deaf, (politically), Pepsi ad that
included confronting a riot and resolving it with a Pepsi. Both she and the
Pepsi Company ate crow over it and everyone forgot about it…or not, as now,
given the real-life events, at least some people dragged the ad in question
back into spotlight. Only… this particular Jenner had learned something from
this mess of hers, and since then did her (relative) best to do damage control
regarding this sort of thing – probably in case of an emergency. Well, there is
an emergency now, but since KJ had did some damage control – more or less –
people are not giving her as much flak about the ad-2017 as they could have
done otherwise. Why couldn’t the Donald do something similar?.. Oh, wait, he is
the Donald, never mind.
On the other hand, we have ‘Batwoman’ the DC TV series that
recently has officially proclaimed that it will not recast the titular
character, (who was played by Ruby Rose, remember?). Frankly, this makes ‘Batwoman’
a tie with ‘Swamp Thing’ and ‘Powerless’, and if the latter was something of an
outlier in the world of DC TV series, then the former was certainly a good and an
interesting show to watch. Ah well, everyone fails, especially if they do not
have Disney to support them, as AoS depicts.
Yes, by now, not just AoS is finally ending, but the rest of
the ‘old guard’ has ended as well. Yes, initially they were supposed to be
replaced by ‘The Winter Soldier and the Falcon’, ‘WandaVision’ and the show
about Loki, but then COVID-19 happened and everything just died instead. Pause.
Now, today I wanted to talk about stars, because yesterday
we had a partial lunar eclipse, aka the strawberry moon, but regrettably, our
part of the world – a suburb in the New York state – didn’t have too much in terms of the moon: the sky was partially
cloudy last evening and night, yes, but nothing more, and the moon…before we
went to sleep, admittedly, but still… didn’t look any different from how it
usually looks… where were we?
Stars are huge giant balls of gas, as Pumba from ‘The Lion
King’ used to say. Or was he Pumbaa? Frankly, I do not care, the rebooted ‘Mulan’
was supposed to come out in April-2020, but now there’s no sign or indication
of it, or that it would ever come back to the big screen. Pity, the people are starved
for shows… and then along came George Floyd and the idiot, who had killed him,
and now people are out in the streets, and a similar situation is developing in
Canada. What else?
…Sadly, it is very unlikely that the US-Canada border will
be opened any time soon, simply because the Donald is himself, whereas in the
North we got Trudeau, Scheer and Singh getting along only not. After the Donald’s
latest messes, no one there wants to be associated with him, and, moreover?
Canada still has not gotten its’ act together either, though, at least, in its’
case there’s no case of civil unrest actually beating COVID-19 as top news.
…Ok, this was a depressing thought, so I am ending my blog
entry for today on this note. See you all soon instead!
