EVENING NIGHTCAP: Madonna's Side Hustle (ha ha). Tina's Statue Is A Nightmare. Emma Looks...Odd.

► Madonna (67) is getting in on the grifting education game by offering an online course for $30.00 / a month. The course, "The Mystical Studies of the Zohar" is a master class taught by her and some dude at the Kabbalah Center. Um, okay. The name of the class is better suited as the working title for movie mash up of Ghostbusters & Big. Wasn't Zohar the name of the carnival machine in Big? Anyway, Madonna will share the wisdom she's accumulated over the years about Kabbalah, such as the proper shade of red to use for the string bracelet and how to tie it correctly. Actually she said, “I hope this course inspires people to ask more questions about life, and how they can make a positive impact on the world."  The only question I want this course to answer is why she keeps spending money on lousy plastic surgery.  Read More 

Comment: According to a press release, "she wants people to enroll so they can accelerate spiritual growth and manifest your higher purpose". That last part had me cackling coming from someone who still thinks she's 21, has had more failed relationships than I have Dave & Busters game tokens, and dates men who still get carded at the liquor store.

► The city of Brownsville, Tennessee which was Tina Turner's hometown, unveiled a statue to honor the late singer. Not since the fiasco of the Amy Winehouse statue has a piece of public art united the public to unleash a shit storm of criticism of how an icon was depicted in bronze. The 10 ft tall (3.0 meters) abomination depicts the legendary Tina Turner wearing a "wig" that resembles a bowl of spaghetti that exploded in the microwave as she grimaces like Cristiano Ronaldo posing for a mannequin challenge.  Read More

Comment: If I was a taxpayer of the city, I would demand a refund. The city probably paid the artist millions of dollars to create this crap. It's hideous! Poor Tina, she doesn't deserve this.

► In today's "Oprah, Who's This", Emma Stone (36) left fans scratching their heads a recent Paris Fashion Show with her new appearance. Her new face had me wondering: what in Invasion of Body Snatchers hell is going on?  I thought it was Lohan at first. I had to take a second look...and up, it's Emma. Her eyes have that Jocelyn Wildenstein BOGO special about them. Judge for yourself. Read More

Comment: I have no idea what's going on with her appearance. Is it lighting? Bad makeup? An allergic reaction to French cuisine? Whatever it is...make it stop.

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! The Not So Young Republicans Week of 10/20/25

By

  When Politico published the cache of racist, bigoted, antisemitic, and violent messages from the “Young” Republicans’ private group chat, it didn’t just expose a few “edgy” or “off color” jokes. It exposed rot that had been lurking beneath charm, networking, and the polished illusion of respectability. These were not anonymous internet basement dwelling trolls. They were congressional aides, campaign staffers, interns, and strategists. They are the ones who will inherit the microphones, the legislation, the power, and the laws. In that putrid chat, they wrote like people who believed they were protected. They used slurs as punctuation and bonded over cruelty. The reaction from the GOP was predictable: a few suspensions, some hollow statements, and a chorus of “That’s not who we are.” Worthless excuses that no one who paid attention would believe. This is exactly who they are when they think no one is watching. But this story isn’t just about them. It’s about the ones who knew and...

OPEN POST: The Winchester Mystery House-The Most Haunted House in the United States?

In 1884, a grieving widow named Sarah Winchester arrived in sunny San Jose, California, carrying an immense inheritance that was said to have been cursed. Her husband, William Winchester, was dead, claimed by tuberculosis. Their infant daughter, Annie, had died at one month due to a rare form of severe malnutrition. The source of her wealth was the Winchester rifle, a weapon that had filled her coffers and graveyards around the country.  Sarah bought a modest eight-room farmhouse and began designing and building. She never stopped. According to lore, for nearly forty years, hammers echoed day and night as rooms bloomed. dissolved, and were reimagined like restless dreams. When a hallway displeased her, she ordered it razed. When a design felt wrong, she simply rebuilt it. Stairs climbed into ceilings. Doors opened into thin air. Windows looked into walls. The house grew the way a thought spirals when it cannot find peace or passes through the mind like vapor.  Maybe it was gri...

  This beautiful piece of art was painted by Thomas Moran in 1864. It depicts a creek that flows in Philadelphia, PA and is one of Moran's earlier works from his long career.
