The Friday Link for 2/3/23

Hi everyone.  I hope you've had a good week.

With Trump announcing he's running in 2024, he hit the road for a get-together in South Carolina.  So did The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper, who went down to talk to the people attending the shindig.  

What's terrifying is how Trump's supporters have made a completely fake reality to offset narratives they dislike, truths they want to dismiss, and facts that any sane person would not question.  This is disturbing to watch as these people believe the insanity coming from their mouths. 

WOW! Speaking of infections, The Last of Us!  If you have not caught the exceptional HBO adaption of the video game, where fungus evolves to take over humans like they currently do with some insects, it is stark! But it is also so well done.

The Zombie genre has been tapped out.  I remember how good the first few seasons of Walking Dead were, chaotic story lines, surprise character deaths, and a real fatalism conveyed to the viewer that this was the end times indeed, but the entire genre went off the rails due to a lack of creativity and a substitution of jump scares for intelligent though process.

The Last of Us takes us to a new even more terrifying version of the Zombies, ones where the people only wish they were dead, where the remaining people seem to debate how they keep going. 

The next two videos are the opening scenes from the first two episodes of the series, acting as backstory to the eventual end.  Some of the images in the second one are a little rough, but it is a good series.



And finally, on a fun note! 

Ze Frank returns with a very funny True Facts about The Smartest Slime!  Warning, adult content! 


Have a wonderful weekend.  

Please make sure you're vaccinated!
