📽️ Doc Hollywood (1991)

This was a side of Michael J. Fox that I wasn’t expecting, although I admit the only other movie of his I’ve seen is Back to the Future so that’s not a lot to go off of. This movie made me smile a lot. Yes, it’s corny and predictable, but it’s also enjoyable and fun. It was also a treat to see a young Woody Harrelson 😅 I really liked this one!

Sex/nudity: 5/10 (many sexual references, kissing, a pretty long scene with several frontal shots of a topless woman)

Language: 5/10 (three f-words, many other curse words, I’m very surprised it’s only rated PG-13)

Violence: 1/10 (a couple injuries seen in the doctor’s office)

Overall rating: 7/10

Clever Julie Burchill in Spiked: Harold "memorably recalled having a conversation with a toilet while out of his box on magic mushrooms though he may have confused this with his first date with Meghan Markle." by u/Von_und_zu_

Clever Julie Burchill in Spiked: Harold "memorably recalled having a conversation with a toilet while out of his box on magic mushrooms, though he may have confused this with his first date with Meghan Markle." Trump has the measure of Harry and MeghanDeporting the peevish princeling would only fuel the couple’s sense of victimhood.Brilliant. In pertinent part:As Trump does not care whether people poke fun at him, so he is similarly keen to deal it out. This weekend, the New York Post reported that the POTUS has decided against attempting to have Prince Harry deported. This is despite the peevish princeling being the subject of litigation, as the Heritage Foundation has alleged that his past use of recreational drugs should have disqualified him from obtaining the US visa that allows him to live in Montecito, California.Anyone who has read – or rather, suffered through – Harry’s autobiography, Spare, will know of his fondness for marijuana and the occasional foray into psychedelic drugs. He memorably recalled having a conversation with a toilet while out of his box on magic mushrooms, though he may have confused this with his first date with Meghan Markle. Rather than own his drug use, he once came up with the absolute howler of a theory that he became a druggie pretty much because the press said he was one*. ‘You’re then either the “playboy prince”, the “failure”, the “dropout” or, in my case, the “thicko”, the “cheat”, the “underage drinker”, the “irresponsible drug-taker”’, he said during one of his many court cases (this one in 2023). ‘I thought that, if [the media] are printing this rubbish about me and people were believing it, I may as well “do the crime”, so to speak.’*Whatever Harry’s reason for doing more blow than a Love Island love rat, Heritage’s Nile Gardiner was quite right to tell the Telegraph: ‘Anyone who applies to the United States has to be truthful on their application, and it is not clear that is the case with Prince Harry.’ He went on to suggest that the Biden administration might have turned a blind eye due to the doleful duo’s support of the Democrats (that went well!). But rather than react in a punitive manner, Trump told the New York Post that he has no intention of ordering Hazza never to darken the Staten Island doors again. ‘I don’t want to do that’, smirked The Donald. ‘I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.’ In the past, Trump has also opined that ‘poor Harry is being led around by the nose’.Trump knows how much this depiction, in particular, of Meghan will annoy her. She has several images of herself, from siren to saint, feminist to femme fatale, but middle-aged (her official age is 43) owner of a hen-pecked husband probably isn’t one of them. I strongly doubt she took Hilda Ogden, Sybil Fawlty, Hyacinth Bucket or Yootha Joyce’s Mildred as role models when a girl. The stereotype ruins her sexual capital somewhat, which has always been her strongest currency. [Stereotype or .... Archetype?!]I can’t help thinking that there’s a part of each of the Sussexes that would actually relish being deported, but for vastly different reasons: Harry so he can see his mates again; Meghan so she can cast herself as a tragic, persecuted heroine. But thanks to Trump’s intervention on Harry’s visa, Meghan’s hen-pecker-in-chief image will stick with her now, and their marriage will continue to go from romcom to sitcom.https://ift.tt/xEsvXnz post link: https://ift.tt/FLW2qK3 author: Von_und_zu_ submitted: February 14, 2025 at 02:47PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

New Year’s Eve, the last day of the year. As we all know, it is the holiday when people get together with families and friends, share resolutions, and light fireworks to bring in the new year. But 80 years ago, this would not be the case out on the Great Salt Lake in Utah for a deadly train crash took place on that day.

In the early morning hours of New Year’s Eve December 31st 1944, two trains operating as No. 21, the Westbound Pacific Limited, were preparing to proceed onward to San Francisco with the First 21, the 18-car passenger train, running ahead of the Second 21, the 20-car mail-express train. The Pacific Limited normally ran as a long singular train but it was split in two on this occasion. The First 21 was being pulled by Southern Pacific 4425, a GS-3 Class 4-8-4 “Northern” Type locomotive, while the Second 21 was being pulled by Southern Pacific 4361, an MT-4 class 4-8-2 “Mountain” Type locomotive. Running 38 minutes late, the First 21 departed from Ogden, Utah at 4:38 AM while the second 21 departed at 4:50 AM 12 minutes later.

Things wouldn’t go according to plan however because 17 miles west of Ogden at Bagley along the Lucin Cutoff, a stalled freight train was dealing with a hotbox which would force the two trains to slow down and come to a stop. The First 21 would slow down to 8 mph until stopping when the flagman of the freight train would give the signal. Meanwhile, the Second 21 was speeding at 50 mph in hopes of making up for lost time.

Although engineer James Mcdonald of the Second 21 applied the brakes upon noticing the First 21, it was too late. At 5:14 AM, the Second 21 slammed into the back of the First 21. The last several cars of the First 21 were telescoped into each other while the first few cars of the Second 21 piled into No. 4361 crushing the locomotive’s tender with some sliding into the water and mud.

48 people had died while 81 people were injured with 2 more later dying in the hospital thus bumping the death toll up to 50. Among those who had died were 35 military personnel that were returning home after serving in the Second World War, the death toll also included James McDonald and the flagman of the First 21. Two military hospital cars of the First 21 would be used to take care of the injured passengers until rescue trains from Ogden would arrive at the scene.

During the investigation, it was revealed that the main cause of the wreck was failure to properly control the speed of the Second 21 in accordance with signal indications. While the engineer did apply the brakes, it was said that he “died” due to sudden shock or heart failure. Another factor that caused this wreck was heavy fog which resulted in the fireman of the Second 21 to miss the first stop signal before seeing the second stop signal.

Those who were injured were taken to nearby hospitals such as the Bushnell General Military Hospital in Brigham City. Although there is currently no further information regarding what happened to No. 4361 after the wreck, the locomotive alongside the last few cars of the First 21 and the first few cars of the Second 21 were probably scrapped due to being severely damaged. As for No. 4425, the locomotive was left unharmed and would continue to serve the Southern Pacific until being retired on May 14th, 1956 and later scrapped on July 13th of that year in Los Angeles. None of the 14 GS-3s nor any of the railroad’s 4-8-2s were set aside for preservation when the Southern Pacific ended revenue steam operations in January 1957, although a driving wheel from No. 4422 was salvaged and is at the Railgaints Train Museum in Pomona, California.

The Pacific Limited would continue to run until October 1st, 1947. As for the Southern Pacific, it would continue to use the Lucin Cutoff until 1996 when the railroad became part of the Union Pacific whose trains still continue to use the Lucin Cutoff to this day. It has been 80 years since this wreck occurred and it still holds the title of being Utah’s worst train wreck but rear-end collisions between trains still unfortunately have occurred over the following years and of course before then.

This was made in honor of those who lost their lives and survived this train wreck, I wish you all a Happy New Year.

THE SPRING CARNIVAL

At a school as old as Ogden College, there are a lot of traditions, one of which is the spring carnival the school hosts. Taking place across several days, there's a host of fun to get into - games, rides, booths, whatever is to be expected at a carnival. And then some....at least for this year. Be it testing your strength with HIGH STRIKER, drenching a friend (or enemy) in the DUNK TANK, playing SKEE-BALL, waiting in line to ride the FERRIS WHEEL, or exploring the HOUSE OF MIRRORS, there's something for everyone at the carnival, and it's often said to be one of the most exciting weeks of the year with all funds being split between the school and its philanthropic endeavors.

1781 07 Washington Reviewing Our Ally-the French - Henry Ogden

Around the turn of the twentieth century, American illustrator Henry A. Ogden painted George Washington reviewing French troops in July 1781 at the encampment at Philipsburg, New York—the first camp shared by the American and French armies during the war. The painting reminds us that the story of how the American and French armies got to Yorktown is just as important to tell as what happened after they arrived. In the watercolor-and-gouache painting the Institute recently acquired, artist Henry A. Ogden focused on the review of the French troops at Philipsburg. He specifically depicted the Soissonnais Regiment—in their white uniforms with pale red facings—marching past the mounted senior officers of the allied armies. It is not clear why Ogden chose to feature the Soissonnais. During the march to Philipsburg, the regiment stood out to Abbé Claude Robin, a chaplain with Rochambeau’s army: “The regiment of Soissonnais has in all this tedious march, had the fewest stragglers and sick of any other;–one of the principal causes was, without doubt, the precaution of the Colonel, who, on purpose for the campaign, had linen breeches made for his whole regiment.” In the painting Ogden included the commanding officer of the Soissonnais, the comte de Saint Maime, walking between the regiment’s flagbearers with his sword raised. General Washington, raising his hat in salute, is flanked by Rochambeau and the chevalier de La Luzerne, French minister to the United States. Next to them, in the foreground of the painting, are Major General Benjamin Lincoln and Brigadier General Henry Knox of the Continental Army, and the duc de Lauzun, a brigadier general of the French army and commander of Lauzun’s Legion. On the opposite side of the marching French troops, Continental Army soldiers, distinguished by their buff-and-blue uniforms, stand in a line watching the review. One of the Continentals carries the American flag pictured at the center of the scene. A camp of white tents appears on a hilltop in the distance.This work celebrates the alliance with France and asserts the importance of the French army’s participation in the Yorktown campaign.
