Oh man… I don’t know what it says about me that the first thing I thought of when I heard she had died was “Someone plays a MASH themed list”. ---

I have Loretta Swit. Not as a MASH member, but as still-surving Match Game personalities. 13 points! I always loved her in MASH, of course, even when she was with Ferret Face. She was a great actress. RIP. ---

Double meaning, it is a computer and media term, Garbage In, Garbage Out. Referring to the fact that trash data will give you trash as a result; in media terms, you are the media that you consume. And I like to bust trashy sources of info. Busting makes me feel good 🙂 And yes, it is also a riff on the classic Ghostbusters movie. ---
