    Writers’ union urges investigation into Paramount move to cancel Colbert show

    https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/jul/18/writers-guild-stephen-colbert-investigation

    In a statement on Thursday evening, CBS executives said that the decision to cancel the show was “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night”, adding that it was “not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount”.

    Yeah. And I've got a bridge you might be interested in.

    I used to wonder how something like fascism could take hold in Germany. It's become really clear this past year. The monied class (I mean superwealth) and super corporations are nothing but sycophantic worms; and high-powered elites cower and fold in perceived fear. Their responsibility and duty to Democracy is skin deep, if even that much.

    Colbert, who announced the news during tonight’s taping, said that he was grateful to CBS for giving him the chair. “I’m not being replaced, this is all just going away,” Colbert said.

  • Fab house for sale near me (UK)
    B Bernard

    What an interesting facade. I counted four different window styles, and the portico is offset. Makes it look like there have been changes over the years. But I like it.

    Nice house, what a location! But I would definitely have do decorate the place. And tear up the wall-to-wall carpeting. Love the stairwell.

    That house is grand, surprised it's below $1m. The kind of house I'd like if I had lots of money. I don't care for their color choices, but those cosmetic things could be taken care of. (I'm wondering why the listing shows a photograph of their throw pillows!? LOL.)

    https://www.wmur.com/article/nh-kelly-ayotte-vetoes-book-ban-bill-07152025/65420032

    Months of tense debate over so-called book bans in New Hampshire reached a boiling point Tuesday when Gov. Kelly Ayotte vetoed a Republican-backed bill that would have prohibited schools from distributing materials the bill defines as "harmful to minors."

    I made Braised Sausage and Lentils for dinner. Recipe from Pacific Northwest The Beautiful Cookbook. So easy, so delicious! I had green lentils in the cupboard and Andouille sausage. I think I'll have another peruse through the book before it goes to the thrift shop!

  • A new theory of metabolisms
    B Bernard

    ... “ultra-processed foods” - which the study’s authors define as “industrial formulations of five or more ingredients” - and higher body-fat percentages.

    That's as clear as mud. What are "industrial" formulations and how do they differ from home made recipes which more often than not consist of more than five ingredients?

  • Bonne Fête Nationale!
    B Bernard

    An interesting opinion piece.

    https://unherd.com/2025/07/why-the-french-hate-bastille-day/?us=1

    Today is Bastille Day — except in France. Spend long here, and you’ll quickly find that this national day of celebration is instead known simply as Le Quatorze Juillet. There are plenty of explanations, but probably the most convincing is that the storming of the Bastille, one of the foundational moments of the French Revolution, was also a bloody riot. The day ended with the prison’s director having his head sliced off with a pocket knife, the gory trophy paraded through the streets by jubilant Parisians. The unspoken implication, especially among the politer strains of French society, is that explicitly celebrating such violence would be improper, even if it remains central to the French Republic’s self-image.

  • Strange
    B Bernard

    After a night's rest, I think it's safe to say I was most likely the culprit. Leaving the house had not been completely straight forward. After getting outside and part way across the lawn, I thought I'd heard Cielo call, so I went back to the screen door to check. On my second pass across the lawn, I realized I'd forgotten my shopping list. Ugh. I went back in via the screen door and it's very likely I automatically locked it once inside because it's just such an ingrained habit. I remember walking through the dining room to the kitchen where the list was, but I have no recollection of which way I exited the house again! Hm. I would have thought I'd gone back out through the screen door, but it's possible I left through the kitchen door. Shrug. I do have a recollection of walking through the kitchen at some point.

  • Piano with Rebecca Bogart
    B Bernard

    Has anyone been watching her videos and/or taken any of her online classes?

    A lot of what she teaches I've heard before in some form, but I am picking up pointers here and there, and she does a good job of explaining.
