I was gonna nominate Mark Rufallo, but that's too easy. We'll save him for New Years Eve. This is today's nominee...
A daycare worker was caught on camera hurling a shoe at a 5-year-old girl with special needs in Los Angeles - and now her furious mother is demanding answers. The girl was at the Destiny Development Center in Inglewood on Jan. 16, where surveillance video showed the unidentified worker removing her shoe and chucking it at the child, who cried after being hit. Two other employees witnessed the incident and appear to laugh.
The girl’s mother, Michelae Jones, told KTLA that she was shocked to learn of the attack on her child. “I’ve been with these people for three years,” she said. “I really thought my baby was safe with them.”
Jones said her daughter told her about the incident, prompting the mother to contact the daycare center’s director. She said staff was slow to respond. Jones was not allowed to see the surveillance footage for more than two weeks.

Hey, I get it - when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. But - in to the deep fryer? Jeez...
The victim, whose identity has not been released, stripped off his clothes and thrust his face into the fryer at the chain’s Williamsport, Pennsylvania, location, as terrified coworkers desperately tried to stop him, authorities said. He was rushed to a nearby hospital with severe burns but later died from his injuries. The restaurant chain and authorities so far only describing the incident as a “suicide attempt,” and declining to comment further or identify him.
The chain restaurant was shuttered for several days but has since reopened. Think they changed out the oil?

It's hard to believe that Mean Joe and The Kid remains as one of the most popular ads ever created specifically for the Super Bowl. Appearing first during Super Bowl XIV in 1980, along with the unforgettable line “Hey Kid, Catch!,” the ad was an instant favorite. The famous line was uttered by a newly smiling Greene as he tossed his Pittsburgh Steelers jersey to then nine-year-old Tommy Okon (the child fan).
Created in October 1979, America discovered that all “Mean” Joe Greene needed after a hard game was a Coke to make him smile. McCann-Erickson’s Clio Award-winning ad “Have a Coke and a Smile” campaign told the heartwarming story of an injured and down-spirited Greene and a kid fan. In the end, grumpy Greene and the ardent fan both share a Coke, and a smile.
Back in the late 70's up through 1989 when I sold my agency and we moved to St. John, I was in the advertising/marketing business in both New York and New Jersey. I remember vividly hosting Super Bowl parties where we religiously watched - for the ads - every year, not really giving a shit who won or lost, but instead we had the parties just for the ad viewing. Certainly some of the most memorable ads ever created were created specifically for the 'Big Game', and some of them were truly memorable, none so much, I believe, as this one. Just my opinion...

Contrary to their leftie/liberal mindset a majority of voters in all segments (and they do that why? Because they themselves are racists?) want voter IDs. Must have been one giant kick in their buts - assuming, of course, that they actually have 'nads. Juss' sayin'...

It's gotten so bad with so many people moving out of Jersey that they're now bribing people to not move. The Stay NJ program offers property tax benefits to eligible homeowners aged 65 and older. It reimburses applicants for 50% of their property tax bills, up to a maximum of $13,000, with a 2025 benefit cap of $6,500. To qualify, you must have owned and lived in a home for the full 12 months of 2025 and have an income below $500,000. If you made P.I.L.O.T. (Payments-in-Lieu-of-Tax) payments to your municipality, you are eligible for the Stay NJ benefit. Mobile homeowners and snow birds are not eligible.

Anyway, the reason I mention this is because he texted me this picture last night, saying that that's his dream suite on any cruise. If they have room service, he'd never leave the suite. Funny shit, huh?

In a move that can only be described as both progressive and potentially confusing for fans, iconic punk rock band Green Day has announced a radical transformation. The band, known for its rebellious spirit, has decided to change its name to G’ay, embracing a colorful and inclusive identity in a bid to stay on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, adorned in a kaleidoscope of glittering accessories, made the announcement at a press conference that felt more like a fabulous runway show. “We’re all about breaking boundaries and challenging norms,” he declared, tossing a handful of rainbow confetti into the air. “The new name reflects our commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and a damn good time.”

It's called 'Murder Hole'...
Murder Hole Beach (Boyeeghter Bay) in County Donegal offers a dramatic sunset experience, characterized by golden sands, rugged cliffs, and views of Rough Island. Located on the Rosguill Peninsula, this hidden, scenic spot provides a peaceful, yet often windy, atmosphere perfect for viewing, though caution is advised due to strong tides and hidden hazards.
Situated on the Melmore Peninsula in County Donegal, accessible via a signposted path from a nearby parking area.
Evenings offer "golden sunsets," making it a, spectacular, if sometimes wild, spot to watch the sun go down. Features dramatic cliffs, sandy dunes, and small caves, with the beach split into two sections at high tide.
The area can be dangerous during high tides or storm surges. Accessible via a walk from the parking area near Melmore Holiday Park, which is open daily.
It is widely regarded as one of Ireland's most beautiful, albeit dramatic, hidden, coastal, locations.

We owe it all - all the good and the bad - to Philo...
Philo Farnsworth was barely a teenager when the idea for electronic television came to him. Growing up on an Utah farm, he reportedly sketched the basic concept of scanning images line by line while plowing a field, inspired by the straight rows of crops.
Unlike earlier mechanical television systems that relied on spinning disks, Farnsworth envisioned a fully electronic process. By the age of 21, in 1927, he successfully transmitted the first electronic television image, a simple straight line, marking a foundational moment in modern media and communications.
Despite this groundbreaking achievement, Farnsworth’s life was marked by relentless legal and financial struggles. Corporate giants, most notably RCA under David Sarnoff, challenged his patents for years. Although Farnsworth ultimately won key legal victories and was recognized as the true inventor of electronic television, the prolonged battles drained his resources and health.
As television exploded in popularity after World War II, the profits and public recognition largely flowed to corporations rather than to Farnsworth himself, leaving him disillusioned with how his invention was commercialized and used primarily for entertainment and advertising.
For much of his later life, Farnsworth reportedly avoided watching television, feeling it had fallen short of its potential to educate and uplift humanity.
That perspective shifted dramatically in July 1969, when he watched the Apollo 11 Moon landing. Seeing Neil Armstrong walk on the Moon, transmitted live through the very technology he had pioneered, reframed everything for him.
In that moment, television fulfilled the grand purpose he had once imagined, connecting humanity to a historic achievement on a planetary scale. Turning to his wife, he quietly acknowledged that, at last, it had all been worthwhile.

Good - maybe now they'll change their tune a little...
Many in the media industry feared layoffs when reports emerged that The Washington Post would restructure its newsroom. After several hundred journalists lost their jobs at the newspaper and entire news desks were shuttered this week, the reality was more sweeping than anticipated, drawing widespread scrutiny in what one news outlet called a “murder.” There was additional blowback given the Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos, is one of the world’s wealthiest people.
The Post has laid off “about 30% of all its employees,” including people “on the business side and more than 300 of the roughly 800 journalists in the newsroom,” said The New York Times. This decision was made because the company had “lost too much money for too long and had not been meeting readers’ needs.
The historic publication is also restructuring its entire newsroom output. The newspaper is “scaling back foreign coverage and shutting down some sections of the paper,” said CBS News. Most notable was the Post’s sports desk, which will be axed entirely, though it will keep “some sports reporters who will write feature stories.”
Maybe now they'll focus a bit more on actually reporting news instead of the way they've historically been bending and shaping the news to their leftie agenda.
Is it possible that 'woke-osity' is finally, once and for all, dead in Journalism? Don't bet the ranch on it, but let this be the first shoe to fall. Juss' sayin'...

How far can we go? (in space, that is)
As of today, February 6, 2026, Voyager 1 is approximately 15.95 billion miles (25.6 billion km) from Earth, continuing its lonely trek through interstellar space. This distance is so vast that light—the fastest thing in the universe—takes about 23 hours and 34 minutes to travel one way between the probe and NASA’s Deep Space Network. The spacecraft is rapidly approaching a major "light-day" milestone, expected in November 2026, when it will be exactly one light-day (16.1 billion miles) away, meaning a round-trip communication will require two full days. Despite being nearly 50 years old and operating on a dwindling nuclear power source, Voyager 1 recently resumed regular science operations after engineers successfully troubleshot a radio transmitter issue and a computer glitch in the Flight Data Subsystem (FDS).
So if Voyager’s team is asking the spacecraft to do something once it reaches that point, it will take another day for Voyager to respond.
“If I send a command and say, ‘good morning, Voyager 1,’ at 8 a.m. on a Monday morning, I’m going to get Voyager 1’s response back to me on Wednesday morning at approximately 8 a.m.,” Suzy Dodd, Voyager project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory said.
Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only spacecraft to operate beyond the heliosphere, the sun’s bubble of magnetic fields and particles that extends well beyond the orbit of Pluto. After decades in space, both have had to turn off several instruments, but they are using their remaining tools to study this uncharted territory and provide data that could inform future missions.
