NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour watches Watchmen
We're Watching 'Watchmen'
Linda Holmes; Glen Weldon; Daisy Rosario; Soraya Nadia McDonald
Regina King plays Tulsa Police detective Sister Night in the new HBO series Watchmen.
HBO's series Watchmen is not strictly an adaptation of the landmark comic book series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons — it's technically a sequel. It stars Regina King as an ex-cop in Tulsa Oklahoma who's not-so-secretly the masked vigilante Sister Night. It also stars Don Johnson and Tim Blake Nelson, alongside Jean Smart and a very odd Jeremy Irons, who are both playing characters from the comic. Showrunner Damon Lindelof has set the show within a big, weird world that keeps getting bigger and weirder, even as it seeks to comment on some very contemporary, real-world issues.

Off the Record bar has new coasters and artwork
I
stopped briefly into the Hay-Adams Hotel bar yesterday and saw a new
Trump caricature by Matt Wuerker on the wall of the stairway coming down
from the main hotel. I also got a new coaster of Kamala Harris , so I
checked with Matt to see what else he'd done with Kevin KAL Kalllaugher
and Ann Telnaes.
",,,you
missed the new Supreme Court! In the booth behind the bar we've done
the current bench. I also did some new coasters-- Elizabeth Warren,
Kamala Harris and a new Bernie Sanders. It was just me for this round of
coasters. They needed a quick turn around. The Supremes were evenly divided between the three of us."

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Olympic-Sized FAIL"
From Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist...
OK, folks, time for some good old straight editorial:
"Olympic-Size FAIL"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2835
"Current incident estimates published by the company say that 9,120 US
barrels (383,040 gallons) or 'approximately half the size of an
Olympic-sized swimming pool' of crude oil were released into an
impacted area of 2,500 square yards..."
— Sputnik International, 11.01.2019
This past week saw the latest — the LATEST — rupture and spill on
TransCanada's Keystone Pipeline, this time to the tune of 380,000
gallons near the town of Edinburg, North Dakota... a big ol'
Olympic-sized pool of Fail. Of course, it happened pretty much as
predicted by the thousands of people who spoke up, protested, and
tried to stop the pipeline from being built, and who are now
designated as "terrorists" by the US Government.
