https://www.tvline.com/2071760/black-mirror-renewed-season-8-netflix/ That wary feeling you're getting toward any and all technology? It's going to stick around, now that Netflix has renewed "Black Mirror" for an eighth season. Series creator Charlie Brooker broke the renewal news in an interview with Netflix's Tudum on Friday. "I can confirm that 'Black Mirror' will return, just in time for reality to catch up with it," Brooker said. "So, that's exciting. That chunk of my brain has already been activated and is whirring away." The Season 8 pickup comes nine months after Season 7 released in April 2025. Those six installments are currently up for three Golden Globes, with nods for Best Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television, Best Actress in a Limited Series (Rashida Jones), and Best Actor in a Limited Series (Paul Giamatti); the winners will be revealed on Sunday, January 11, at 8/7c on CBS. First premiering on Netflix in 2016 (after initially airing on the U.K.'s Channel 4), "Black Mirror" is an anthology-style sci-fi drama, with each episode telling a self-contained story that often involves the dangers of pervasive technology. Throughout its run thus far, the series has become increasingly star-studded, with other Season 7 cast members including Tracee Ellis Ross and Issa Rae. There's currently no timetable for "Black Mirror" Season 8's premiere.

If it were me, I would start at the beginning as the better episodes are at the beginning... Plus, even though they are stand-alone shows, there are some things in an episode that does come up in later ones...

Actually I am hoping for a long lockout after this season, but something does need to be done to try to get smaller markets involved better...

Very true... Those days are unfortunately long gone...

If all of them would pull back on the amount of political bull crap, they probably would be useful here...

I guess he doesn't need to worry about his fargin' rights now, you iceholes... https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/08/richard-dimitri-dead/ Richard Dimitri, a comedian and actor who worked with the likes of Michael Keaton and Richard Dreyfuss in the 1970s and '80s, has died. He was 83. His family announced Dimitri's death Wednesday in an online obituary ... he died December 18 in L.A. with his wife Christianne by his side. He had suffered from heart and lung illnesses for years. Dimitri was born in Yonkers, New York, and started working Off-Broadway in the early 1960s. He taught acting at Queen's College City University in New York before moving to Los Angeles in 1975, according to his obit. In L.A., he began working in movies and television, appearing on TV's "Hawaii Five-0," "Welcome Back, Kotter," "Starsky and Hutch," and "The Tracey Ullman Show" ... and in films including "Johnny Dangerously" and "Let It Ride." He also found success writing for the screen and doing stand-up comedy. Dimitri was 83. RIP -

He wouldn't have counted anyway as he died last month but the obit wasn't posted until this month... -
Hopefully Miami wins tonight so all of the SEC teams are gone...

For some reason, even though he was part of my initial list of 13, I removed him at the last minute... -
I have no idea to be honest... I think it is just 25 years after the first album release, so solo Ozzy wouldn't be eligible after Black Sabbath, due to debut release dates...
-
This isn't the reason as Metallica was enshrined in 2009... Also, for example, Def Leppard was enshrined in 2019...

I am hoping that I don't need to update this with every change, but until then, please double check your entries... Thank you... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12G4KHmQt2-PsWNVz3zPyv_qgMquLx3G_DMkIBpoGMCc/edit?usp=sharing

US deficit grows to $291 billion in July despite tariff revenue surge...
posty posted a topic in The Geek Club
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/ar-AA1KoBtx (Reuters) -The U.S. government's budget deficit grew nearly 20% in July to $291 billion despite a nearly $21 billion jump in customs duty collections from President Donald Trump's tariffs, with outlays growing faster than receipts, the Treasury Department said on Tuesday. The deficit for July was up 19%, or $47 billion, from July 2024. Receipts for the month grew 2%, or $8 billion, to $338 billion, while outlays jumped 10%, or $56 billion, to $630 billion, a record high for the month. The month of July this year had fewer business days than last year, so the Treasury Department said that adjusting for the difference would have increased receipts by about $20 billion, resulting in a deficit of about $271 billion. Net customs receipts in July grew to about $27.7 billion from about $7.1 billion in the year-earlier period due to higher tariff rates imposed by Trump, a Treasury official said. These collections were largely in line with the increase in June customs receipts after steady growth since April. Trump has touted the billions of dollars flowing into U.S. coffers from his tariffs, but the duties are paid by companies importing the goods, with some costs often passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. Consumer price index data on Tuesday showed increases in prices for some tariff-sensitive goods like furniture, footwear and auto parts, but they were offset by lower gasoline prices in the overall index. For the first 10 months of the fiscal year, customs duties totaled $135.7 billion, up $73 billion, or 116%, from the year-earlier period. The overall year-to-date budget results showed a $1.629 trillion deficit, up 7%, or $112 billion, from the same period a year earlier. Receipts were up 6%, or $262 billion, to $4.347 trillion, a record high for the 10-month period, while outlays grew 7%, or $374 billion, to $5.975 trillion, also a 10-month record.

2026 Death Pool Official Rules The objective of this pool is to compile a list (roster) of individuals whom you predict will pass away during the 2026 calendar year. Participation and Roster Creation · Roster Size: Each valid entry must consist of a roster of exactly 10 different individuals. · Eligibility Criteria: All selected individuals must be at least 18 years old at the time of your entry submission. People currently on death row are strictly prohibited selections. Registered users of FFToday and/or theDanZone are ineligible to be selected for any roster. Animals are not permitted as selections. · Fame Requirement: All selections must be generally recognizable public figures (e.g., celebrities, politicians, prominent athletes). They must be well-known enough that their name can be quickly verified via a standard Google or Wikipedia search. You cannot select private citizens such as neighbors or teachers. · Naming Conventions: Full and correct legal names are required. Avoid descriptive placeholders such as "Steve Irwin's baby" or "Michael Jackson's accuser." · Entry Limit and Submission: Participants may submit multiple entries. However, the entry with the latest timestamp will be considered the valid entry; all prior submissions are immediately voided. Pool Timeline · Start Date: January 1, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. · End Date: December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Scoring and Standings · Scoring Method: A person's score is calculated by subtracting their age at the time of death from 100 points (Score = 100 - Age). Higher scores are better. · Roster Management: Rosters are final once submitted (and not subsequently voided by a newer submission). There will be no mid-year trading of selections or free-agent pickups. · Age Verification: If multiple ages are reported for a deceased person across different news sources, the age listed most frequently across reliable sources will be used as the official age for scoring purposes. · Standings: The official standings will be ranked first by the total number of points scored, and second (as a tiebreaker) by the total number of correctly predicted deaths. Administration and Dispute Resolution · Spelling: Please make every effort to spell names correctly to ensure accurate tracking and scoring (this is especially important for names with complex spellings). · Commissioner's Ruling: In the event of any rule dispute or unforeseen circumstance not covered by these rules, the commissioner retains all authority and will have the final say. >>> 2026 ENTRIES <<< -
