My younger brother was exceptionally late getting home last evening. It had gotten wearisome killing time as the evening wore on because I did not want to tune in anything on T.V. (via our Android TV Box) that would last at all long, for once he was home I wanted to watch as much of the fare that my brother and I follow in common as might be possible. Originally I had hoped for an episode each of three series, but it had gotten to the point that I realized that it would be difficult to have time enough for even just two series.
After 10:30 p.m. came and went, and then it became 10:45 p.m., I decided that if my idiot brother was not home by 11 p.m., I was going to regardless play the first episode that I had originally planned for us ─ an episode of Supergirl.
Well, as luck was to have it, he showed up less than a minute ahead of 11 p.m. Nevertheless, he always takes time to dress down after he gets home, so I was having none of that. At exactly 11 p.m. before he had even finished removing his jacket and shoes inside the front door, I began playing the episode ─ season six's episode 10 ("Still I Rise").
My brother would still be going upstairs to his bedroom to change clothes, and then come downstairs to the kitchen to open a can of beer and pour it into a mug, but I cared not. He often just passes out during Supergirl anyway.
There would be no complaint from him.
I see that Wikipedia's description of the episode is flawed. Part of the description:
Dr. Desmond Raab, to build a cryo-bomb capable of freezing everything within a mile and uses it on the Ormfell Building, a housing project to which Orlando would be able to bring Joey. J'onn stabilizes the building and Supergirl destroys the bomb with her heat vision, but this inadvertently recharges Nyxly's powers. Supergirl tries to persuade the city to not let Councilwoman Rankin turn the Ormfell Building into a tech complex, and succeeds by letting Orlando tell his story to the city council. As the Superfriends rescue citizens, Nyxly freezes Supergirl and begins destroying the building.
The incident with the "cryo-bomb" occurs after Supergirl and Orlando persuade the city council to retain the Ormfell Building as a housing project. The last sentence is completely wrong. Nyxly freezes Supergirl long after the "cryo-bomb" event. Supergirl had returned to the building at night because she and "the Superfriends" had remotely detected some sort of residual activity happening at the building, and she was merely doing reconnaissance to ensure nothing was amiss. The earlier event had been a number of hours earlier.
Gosh, I only now realized that season six is the final season, and we have now gotten exactly halfway through it.
Anyway, at the episode's conclusion, even though it was getting quite late, I tuned in another episode of The Avengers' second season (or series) ─ it was episode three "The Decapod".
It was the first of six episodes featuring actress Julie Stevens as character "Venus Smith", a nightclub singer. The woman had a very good singing voice ─ I am surprised that her acting career was so limited, and that she only ever recorded a collection of children's songs.
Incidentally, although my brother may have struggled staying conscious during Supergirl, I think he largely remained so last night ─ I was surprised.
We only watched one video this morning when we got together for some T.V. (again, via our Android TV Box). I tuned in the June 1 nearly two-hour (1:54:10) addition to Rumble's Vaccine Safety Research Foundation channel: Full Episode 79: Mass Formation Unmasked.

In 2018 he received the Evidence-Based Psychoanalytic Case Study Prize of the Association for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and in 2019 he received the Wim Trijsburg Prize of the Dutch Association of Psychotherapy.
From his book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism
“Alternative voices are stigmatized by a veritable Ministry of Truth, which is crowded with “fact checkers.” Freedom of speech is curtailed by various forms of censorship and self-censorship; people’s right to self-determination is infringed upon by coercive vaccination strategies, which impose heretofore unthinkable social exclusion and segregation upon society.”
It was a fairly good episode.
My brother sought bed rest thereafter, as I did into the latter noon hour. He left for the day while I was abed.
I am doing without any coffee today while I endure my Sabbath fast, and I am feeling exceptionally weak for it. This is actually quite ridiculous.
Possibly as early as 1:50 p.m. I began maybe 1½ hours of backyard sunning, and afterwards I needed to return to bed for probably over an hour before I could begin blogging. Even then, I was reluctant to get up.
I will not be watching T.V. with my brother this evening, but I will refrain from breaking my fast until at least 9:30 p.m. Since I plan to rise at 4 a.m., I will not be sitting up too much longer once I have eaten.
I hate feeling this weak! Being hungry is one thing, but undergoing caffeine withdrawal and feeling so pathetically feeble is quite something else.
