Postponed video for Emmys post

I had a place for this video in Gold Derby's predictions for Emmy-nominated shows, then watched it and decided it would be better used when Colbert earns his nominations.

Unused video for Watergate post

I found a video with a better description for Two Emmy-nominated documentaries about Watergate for Veep Day. This has a better preview image, but I didn't need that.

Rejected video for Doomsday Clock post

I decided to use two videos from ABC Australia and News.com.au instead of the CBS Chicago video below for The Doomsday Clock is at 100 seconds to midnight, least remaining time ever — so far at Crazy Eddie's Motie News.  So, I'm sharing it here.


The world is closer to Doomsday than ever before. Katie Johnston reports.

NDA song from 'The Good Fight'


I wrote last week that each episode of "The Good Fight" so far has an animated music video of an original song. All of them have been uploaded. This is the first one.


🎵 If there's a secret and you want someone to keep it kept... 🎵 The first of a series of animated musical educational shorts brought to you by Jonathan Coulton and The Good Fight.

I'll post the rest of them as opportunities arise.

Linkspam to four serious posts at Crazy Eddie's Motie News

I found three videos or sets of videos on topics I like to write about, the Retail Apocalypse, Russian election interference, and climate change. They made for easy blogging.

CBS Sunday Morning examines 'the fall of Sears'
CBS News explains how Russia used disinformation on social media to target voters
COP24 concludes with delegates reaching consensus on how to implement the Paris Climate Agreement

I also found one on the history of the U.S. selling arms to Saudi Arabia. That was work!

Vox explains how Saudi Arabia became the largest buyer of U.S. arms and is using them in Yemen
