Kate Hinds’ cat has a knack for hiding in plain sight. Yesterday, she asked us to find her kitty, who was taking a snooze, in her bookcase. Can you spot the pussy cat?
Since I have one, it didn’t take me too long to find the sneaky feline. I cannot begin to tell you how many times, I have torn my house apart looking for my baby. Then all of a sudden, I would open my tear-soaked eyes, and there she is. I have no idea where she came from, and I don’t care as long as I see her. Just like Kate must have felt when she spotted her furbaby.
Neil deGrasse Tyson might be the Director of the Hayden Planetarium, but that doesn’t mean he has to be an uptight astrophysicist. Yet, if you put a dog in front of him, the 61-year-old becomes a big child again.
Isn’t it arfdorable to see him play with Eleasto? The only thing that would have made this video leaps and bounds in cuteness is if the sweet pooch was named Pluto.
Back in 1992, the concept of a school shooting like the ones that happened at Columbine, Sandy Hook, or Parkland was unimaginable. Thus, showing a teen with a gun was censored by network standards and practices. Which means we never saw the full music video for Pearl Jam’s Jeremy.
Nearly 30 years later, the band felt the need to release it and they explained why. “In addition to the equity protests taking place around the country, today [June 5th] also marks National Wear Orange Day. The increase in gun violence since the debut of ‘Jeremy’ is staggering. We have released the uncensored version of the video which was unavailable in 1992 with TV censorship laws.”
While I am all about moving forward, I wish we would go back to a time when a school shooting was something we thought would never happen.
Along with the video, the band updated the Choices t-shirt. They say, “Proceeds will go to the Vitalogy Foundation to support organizations working to prevent gun violence in the United States.”
Ever since March, television and film production has been shut down in California because of COVID-19. However, today Governor Gavin Newsom and the California Public Health Office announced that they can resume filming as of June 12th.
Guidance for Music, Film and Television Production
Music, TV and film production may resume in California, recommended no sooner than June 12, 2020 and subject to approval by county public health officers within the jurisdictions of operations following their review of local epidemiological data including cases per 100,000 population, rate of test positivity, and local preparedness to support a health care surge, vulnerable populations, contact tracing and testing. To reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, productions, cast, crew and other industry workers should abide by safety protocols agreed by labor and management, which may be further enhanced by county public health officers. Back office staff and management should adhere to Office Workspace guidelines (PDF) published by the California Department of Public Health and the California Department of Industrial Relations, to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission
No word yet who will go back into production first, but I am assuming it will be the three Soap Operas. Then it will be competition shows like America’s Got Talent and The Masked Singer. After that, I have no idea.
Personally, I don’t care as long as they get back to work. I live walking distance to two studios and I am looking forward to hearing the hustle and bustle again. It has been so quiet and I never thought I would miss noise. But I do. And it is all about me and my needs for noise and new enetertianment content.
