Comedian And 'SCTV' Star Joe Flaherty Has Died At 82

Comedian And 'SCTV' Star Joe Flaherty Has Died At 82

Comedian Joe Flaherty, a founding member of the Canadian sketch series “SCTV,” has died. He was 82.

His daughter Gudrun said Tuesday that Flaherty died Monday following a brief illness.

Flaherty, who was born in Pittsburgh, spent seven years at The Second City in Chicago before moving north of the border to help establish the theater’s Toronto outpost.

He went on to star alongside John Candy and Catherine O’Hara in “SCTV,″ about a fictional TV station known as Second City Television that was stacked with buffoons in front of and behind the cameras. Flaherty’s characters included network boss Guy Caballero and the vampiric TV host Count Floyd. He won Emmys in 1982 and 1983 for his writing on “SCTV” and continued to work in TV and film for decades.

He was introduced to later generations through memorable turns as a jeering heckler in the 1996 film “Happy Gilmore” and as an old-fashioned dad in the TV comedy “Freaks and Geeks,” which ran from 1999 to 2000.

i just need people to tell me what i look like and how im perceived and who i am to feel stable because I KNOW that I

a) have a specific way I would Like to think of myself as being in my head, and feel when I'm the most confident, and like to draw myself as in my most idealized form(s), and

b) do NOT actually look or present that way to the general public if they aren't severely deluding themselves or telling me what I want to hear

Which has led to a HORRIFIC disconnect between me knowing how I want to operate and imagine and perceive MYSELF to be in the world, and how I am actually perceived and treated and seen in the world, and a crippling fear of portraying myself incorrectly in art and being seen as idealizing myself, being a mary-sue or too overly self indulgent, or at worst fully misrepresenting myself.

To be honest it probably partially stems from seeing trans people like me write and portray themselves one way with full conviction while absolutely not reading as what they portray themselves as, and being terrified that that could be ME, and I worry about disconnecting myself that much from reality. But on the other hand..... they seem so much happier than me. And there really is something to living in ignorance as bliss, chosen or otherwise.

I just don't want to make myself out as a liar. I'm self aware enough to know what I am and what I am not, but who's to say I'm not overcompensating and seeing myself further in the other direction to top it off?

Life would be so much easier if I could shapeshift, I swear to god.

For anyone voting today for Greene county, MO:

I’ve done research into the issues on the ballot April 2, 2024. Here is a guide with personal insight for Tumblr lgbtq+ individuals.

1) the question of if a mayor should be allowed to hold office for 4 years instead of 2, total 8 years with re-election.

No. Never let an official be safe from being evaluated for longer than necessary. Term limits keep officials accountable.

2) should the code of ethics for state employees be revised?

No. They try to get you with the word ethics. Currently a state employee is termed if monetary gain happens outside the channels of there job. Getting $ benefits from other enterprises, like real estate sells they had a .gov hand in, accepting bribes, etc. they want to change the law so that the mayor gets to review and decide if they’re in trouble or not, with the attorney’s input saying it’s not illegal before the action happened. They also get to rewrite the rules once a year. Not all bad, except who will benefit, and why change the language every year?

The example they cite is a teenager being hired to mow lawns who is a state employee’s child. Stop right there and ask yourself why a child is being hired to do adult work on government property.

This is a clear “more harm than good” policy if you have anyone not purely uninterested in personal gain in office. Corruption red flag.

Candidates for the school board:

3 positions open.

Best candidates: not great, it’s the best we have right now. These have been endorsed by the PAC, as non partisan candidates. i.e. not 100% Republican / Democrat.

Sherman-Wilkins supports nonpartisan schools and stopping religious influence controlling how public schools are run.

Kincaid: committed to making decisions instead of as she says, just punting (not voting to avoid dislike). Admits she has no kids and is a lawyer.

Crise: He is a business guy, and will rely on stakeholders for some decisions. Boo. He also stressed wanting to ask students what they need though.

Worst:

Mohammadkhani supports Moms for Liberty, the book banning group. Sad about this since she also states she wants to help lower income families.

McCarter quoted as saying he is endorsed by “groups that you may consider have a sort of a conservative leaning.” He means MAGA.

Rollins: opposes critical race theory and plans to seek Republican Mary Byrnes advice.

Provance: a girls athletic coach. She is endorsed by PAC, but is endorsed by Republican Mary Byrnes who is very anti lgbt, so likely against trans inclusion.

Do your own research if you can!
