Just a couple of old troupers, comparing medals…

I have come to greatly respect Pete Buttigieg for his work as Transportation Secretary, but it’s still objectively hilarious that his Mini-Me here is the star of Young Sheldon.

    I actually like Young Sheldon a lot, and I was not a fan of Big Bang.

    That selfy kinds of thrills me, because the young actor seems to know who Mayor Pete is and because Mayor Pete knows who the kid is.

    Kid doesn’t look like himself in selfies, but that is okay. Probably useful survival in real world for child actors.

    @sab: Kid’s actual real name is Morton. His father is a Scot.

    Stage last name is Armitage from mother, because his grandfather is Richard Armitage. Apparently kid has no problem being associated with the guy who outed Valery Plame.

    I am a fount of misinformation this morning. His dad was a British actor not a Bush government guy.

    Lily Tomlin is a national treasure. I hope I am recalling correctly, but I think on one of her TV specials she did a tribute to her hometown, Detroit, that turned into an unexpected and hilarious musical sketch.

    Jane Fonda is also pretty damned creative. Two Oscars. Not two shabby.

    Fun to see Lily and Jane first thing. This weekend I binge watched the final episodes of Grace and Frankie, and I’m feeling a little bereft knowing that’s it. Love those two.

    Those wildfires in New Mexico look pretty bad. I hope Quinerly is doing OK. So far it looks like areas to the west of Santa Fe near Jemez Springs and to the east near Mora and Las Vegas are seeing the worst. I think Quinerly is south of the city.

    @Geminid: @Cheryl Rofer has information on the New Mexico fires. Mora, northeast of Santa Fe is being evacuated, and highways are now limited to evacuation only. There is a bad fire in Sandoval County near Jemez Springs and the Valle Grande. There is another fire in Ms. Rofer’s area, within 9 miles of Los Alamos Lab propert but the fire looks like it is headed away from the Lab.

    Great post, thanks, Anne Laurie!

    Iain is probably happy just to get to smile, since his character is usually either frowning in concentration or frowning at not understanding other people’s emotions.

    @Brachiator: “Lily Tomlin is a national treasure.”

    The 1970s were a golden age of women comedians. Lily Tomlin, Madeleine, Kahn, SNL…plus Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett were still active.
