Video of the day -- back to the present


This week's observance of Back to the Future Day reminded me of this video which, besides being a cool song tribute, serves as a kind of Cliff's Notes version of the original movie.  Sometimes life does imitate art, but the parallels between Biff Tannen and Donald Trump were not only prescient but intentional.

Thanks for linking back to my post. As for Trump=Biff Tannen, I'm sorry I missed that. I guess I like my wife's idea that Trump is the equivalent of The Penguin running for Mayor of Gotham City too much to have thought of it.

There's a credible comparison with almost any goofy villain one can think of.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:

1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service

I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.

No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.

Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.

From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
