I haven't done any blogging posts on current and streaming media since November 3rd, which broke a streak of weekly ones that had been going since September of 2019 - albeit as part of a different, group, blog. As with many such inactions, it wasn't intended as a formal stoppage, just a momentary delay, but here it is five weeks later. This post's linking theme is the return of fondly-remembered characters. It really should include the recent arrival to streaming of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny over on Disney+, but I haven't really mustered my reactions to that.

This administration's made one power grab after another against a backdrop of fear, declaring opponents to be unpatriotic, ill-timed opportunists. Hopefully enough people are waking up to how much of a formula this is, and that this "war on terror" is never meant to end. Its primary, political aim is to perpetually make this "the wrong time" for dissent while this administration pushes through as many of the aims of its supporters as possible, from the Religious Right to the oil industry and corporate interests.
