Love & Money Dept – TV Biz Happenings for the Week of July 15th

TOSHIBA Exif JPEGLatest News About Writers & Other Mostly Living Things That Are Doing Better Than We Are
by Munchman

Whoa, first Love & Money since 2015. How time flies when you’re scaling the ladder to sucksess. Mama told me there’d be decades like this, but the Evil Angel of Ambition wouldn’t let yer friendly neighborhood munchero fly toward the light.

Well, wtf, this little muncher is still alive, well, and getting into as much trouble as possible.

Years later, the Department of Defense questions why she left, which makes Heidi realize that there’s a whole other story behind the one that she’s been telling herself. Oscar winner Julia Roberts stars as Heidi in the first regular TV series role of her career. “Homecoming” is based a podcast of the same name.

munchman: Kudos to Tumblr

by munchman

Yeah, yeah, yeah…okay, okay, okay. I gotta admit that Tumblr, which Yer Friendly Neighborhood Munchacho has always thought of as a kind of Blogspot wannabe, has manned up and done the right thing vis a vis Russian Intelligence, fake news, and all that pathetic poo that Trump, Putin, and their various handlers, enablers, and subjects hath wrought.

In other words, here’s an email I got over the weekend from Tumblr about muncharoni’s very own Tumblr account:
