Succeseverance
Two well-regarded TV series I didn’t watch were Succession, available on HBO Max (that I have) and Severance on Apple TV+ (that I don’t have). As happened years ago with Breaking Bad, my interest in Severance was piqued by Stephen Colbert’s praise for the series.
With season 2 of Severance about to premiere, season 1 is now available for free on the Roku Channel.

I binge-watched all nine episodes over the weekend. I’m now considering the 90-day Apple TV+ trial to catch season 2. Succession has almost 40 episodes over four seasons. That’s a big commitment I’m not ready to make yet.
Stiller Collects Trek
Ben Stiller would be an excellent guest at the Star Trek Original Series Tour in Ticonderoga, New York.
Droning On and On and Off
Let’s check on the latest about all of those drones flying over New Jersey, and…….. there’s nothing. Ya think they might have been a big to-do over nothing?
Flames On!
These fires are catastrophic and unprecedented in my lifetime. Trump is blaming the inability to control the fires on Governor Newsom, rather than expressing any sort of concern or promising to offer support after he is inaugurated.
There’s no reason to hold back from belittling and insulting Trump. We know that when he’s confronted with a real crisis, as he was with Covid, he’s going to screw up. It’s a certainty that by the end of his term, Trump’s reputation will once again be in tatters and many will wonder why they voted for him.
Speaker Up for Denmark
Denmark is well-known in audio markets for its brands of high-quality loudspeakers. These companies would be harmed by Trump imposing import tariffs on Danish goods in his mad wish to take possession of Greenland.
The granddaddy of Danish speakers was the now-defunct Dynaco, which also made highly regarded amps. I am the proud owner of a pair of beautiful Dynaco A25 speakers, now over fifty years old.
Here are present-day Danish manufacturers of premium loudspeakers that Trump is unknowingly threatening. Bang & Olufsen is a brand, now 100 years old, that you may have heard of before.
Also based in Denmark is a leading manufacturer of raw speaker drivers that other companies incorporate into their designs. Its woofers and tweeters were used in the original line of Dynaco speakers.
And, oh yes, let’s not forget Denmark’s Ortofon, my favorite phono cartridge maker. Will Trump follow through on his reckless threat?
