Look, Michael Ontkean was fine as fuck, even if he's even more resentful about Making Love than Harry Hamlin is. Today, he is 75 and super-retired.

She doesn't know who was feeding Trump lies, but we all know she stood by for it. (Image via video still)
Dr. Deborah Birx — who I suddenly realize has Rachel Dratch's voice! — is continuing on her apologia tour, trying to regenerate the decades of clout and confidence she flushed down the pooper by too closely parroting and providing cover for Trump.
Methinks it's too late.
But still, it is interesting to hear her, on Face the Nation, openly admitting there were parallel data streams being received at the White House, one of which had sources she was never able to determine:
I guess she wants to draw back a nub. (Image via video still)
I don't have the full story of what is happening here, but I would bet money that a white lady was slow to get off an aircraft and was resentful when a Black lady behind her wanted to go ahead and deplane. So she adamantly refused access to the aisle with her arm.
The Black lady was patient momentarily, but when no movement was forthcoming she moved the white lady's arm forward — it's how the elbow works! — and the white lady screamed like she was being skinned a-l-i-v-e.

Sad to see that Gregory Sierra died at 83. Sierra was all over '70s TV, and had important roles on Barney Miller and Sanford and Son, not to mention an intriguing part in the long-delayed The Other Side of the Wind, in which he was directed by Orson Welles and which wasn't released until 2018.
The day's big news was the death of Hank Aaron, a true icon. I don't remember why, but I at one point had multiple copies of the single “Move Over Babe (Here Comes Henry)” signed by Aaron!
