Remembering one of the many awesome monologues in one of the most beautiful films of all time...

The 2-min vignette from "Silent Movie" (1976) of @MelBrooks with Dom Deluise, Marty Feldman, and Sid Caesar with Marcel Marceau is incredible.
The irony of Marceau's only known spoken line & Brooks followup "I don't speak French" is comedic perfection.

I received an email demanding "$5.4" [sic] in unpaid road tolls before penalties are added. OK by me, I didn't know about them before, but I'm good to go.
However, the email didn't share info required to pay at goodtogo.com (i.e. "statement ID").
WTF @GoodToGoWSDOT?
Never received bill, only email without any helpful information other than I owe "$5.4".
Hint: I don't own that vehicle anymore.
The support number also requires the same missing info, plus automated voicemail does not cite option to talk to agent.
Seriously @GoodToGoWSDOT?
Been waiting for this result 2 weeks after testing positive.
Big thanks to hotel masseuse in Malta who was QANON. Her conspiracy theories were sad enough (i.e. "Biden outlawed Christianity", etc), but I didn't realize until later that "Q" means "unvaxxed" as well as "idiot"
Lighthearted moments from the Beatles "Get Back" sessions where John and Paul sing "Two Of Us" with their teeth clenched.
Both are having a blast, lots of fun, but John just looks utterly demonic...

On 09-Apr 1942, a bomb struck the Mosta Rotunda in Malta.
Unlike most of the 6700 tons of bombs dropped on Malta during WW2, this one didn't explode, a miracle as the church was full.
The bare patch left of center is where the bomb entered, and a replica is on display.
Customer: what is the status of <requested-feature>?

Peter Gabriel (setlist.fm/setlist/peter-gab…) was my first concert, in NYC Central Park.
A friend and I drove into NYC, scored tickets last minute. We ended up 8 ft from the stage. Gabriel was the most inebriated performer I've ever seen, and it was amazing.
A friend shared a screenshot he captured on his phone while at his house in Port Charlotte FL during Hurricane Ian...
Moved Marika's RV back to her riverside spot for the winter, which is nowhere in sight on this flawless October weekend – at Portland, OR
As much as I want to see TFG in prison...
We've never used this area of law before. We have to do this right, which means slowly, as there are many mistakes to be made.
There's lots of evidence and it all matters. Have faith, he's going away. Let's ensure he goes away for good.
Inflation is caused by too much demand chasing too little supply. We just emerged from a pandemic that shredded supply chains globally.
Yet the Fed is reacting as if there is too much money, instead of too little supply.
Restore supply chains, instead of choking off recovery
Artemis 1 is scheduled to launch in less than 12 hours, when the 2 hour launch window opens at 08:33 EDT.
The world has been waiting 50 years for this follow-up to the lunar missions of the early 1970s.
This is REAL NEWS yet so many are unaware. nasa.gov/nasalive
