Here we go... last night's cold-opening (Live) at "Saturday Night Live"'s 50th Anniversary Season Opener

Please watch, enjoy, share. It is so full of #truth and #laughter, #ContextAndPerspective, some may call this "therapeutic".

Overall, we have really well-polished ensemble acting. And clearly the writers took notes on all the events whizzing past us recently.

Saturday Night Live 28 Sept 2024 - Harris and Trump Rallies Cold Open

Check out this cast - and casting - and ensemble. SNL is well-prepared for an extended run through a Harris Presidency, with Maya Rudolph impossible to top as Kamala without the traumala... Smile!

A quotation from Catullus

I still should not want you to smile on all occasions:
for nothing is more silly than a silly smile.

[Tamen renidere usque quaque te nollem;
Nam risu inepto res ineptior nulla est.]

Catullus (c. 84 BC – c. 54 BC) Latin poet [Gaius Valerius Catullus]
Carmina # 39 “To Egnatius,” ll. 15-16 [tr. McDonnell (1998)]

A quotation from Cleese, John

I’m struck by how laughter connects you with people. It’s almost impossible to maintain any kind of distance or any sense of social hierarchy when you’re just howling with laughter. Laughter is a force for democracy.

John Cleese (b. 1939) English comedian, actor, screenwriter, producer
The Human Face, 01×02 “Here’s Looking at You!” BBC TV (2001-03-14)

My whole lifestyle changed a while ago. As a nightowl I always had preferred to live in the night, as writing is much easier and pleasant when there is no, or nearly no sound around but, since about one year I go to bed around 9-10p and then get up between 4:30 and 5:30 am, and it feels good... so, this morning I wrote in my diary:

You were a laughing, smiling, happy child up to the time you went to school.

This shows that all the problems, fears, disturbances start with education and manipulation.

Now, in my 73rd year I am heading back to that state of soul I was in my early youth! Yay!

Sojourner Truth (1797-1883) American abolitionist, women’s rights activist [b. Isabella Baumfree]

Quoted in Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Letter to the Editor, New York World (13 May 1867)
