Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

Soooo is some other billionaire gonna step up and save PBS the way Ms Ballmer helped saved NPR or what? (We can agree this is not a good system and it should be government funded right?)

It's official: The House has sworn in Democratic Rep. Analilia Mejia.

Another person we need to pay attention to and applaud as she fights back

She has a name and it is Connie Ballmer.

Why the ICE Raid in ‘The Pitt’ Matters The popular HBO show took on masked federal agents causing chaos for hospital patients and personnel.

‘The Pitt’ Producer Addresses Backlash to ICE Episode The explosive episode was controversial even before it aired.

Finally watching the ICE story arc in The Pitt, and it’s so well done. I also get why some feel it pulled punches a bit (at least compared to the even worse reality), you get the feeling this was as far as producers could push it give the gits who own HBO. But it’s still important tv. Two takes, 1):

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

My sister and I both wanted to fly down to Santa Barbara to visit my mom for Mother’s Day; she’s been recovering from radiation treatment so would be lovely. But costs of that short flight for each of us is so ridiculous right now (+ will get worse) that only 1 of us may be able to go. Thx Trump.

ICYMI: An ICE agent charged with 2 felonies for pulling his gun during a Minneapolis road rage incident

Ward was PCL player of year last year but is blocked at 1B and DH in LA for obvious reasons. Because he isn’t great on defense anywhere else that’s the main reason he’s not playing somewhere at this point (and is only up for a few days) but he could make himself look valuable pretty quickly.

Ryan Ward rounds first after his fist MLB hit as his family cheers in Denver

I am an absolute SUCKER for one baseball thing above all others: when a player makes his minor league debut —in Ryan Ward’s case after toiling in minors for 7 years — in front of his family and he gets a base hit. Just moistens my eyes every time. #Dodgers #MLB

A ★★★ review of Mountainhead (2025) Good demonstration of the rule of screenwriting, that you can write a sharp, smart, witty satire of horrible people, and nail that, but if there’s not one protagonist to root for in any way, there’s n...

Should’ve ended with an avalanche taking them all out: My review of Mountainhead. boxd.it/e26tR1

If this country ever decides to return to the idea of justice, the Trump family assets should be frozen as part of his crimes against humanity, war crimes, and anti-democracy treason. IF.

Belatedly checking out Mountainhead (my partner thought it could be cathartic for her since she works in tech under aholes like this). It’s super caustic and appropriately cutting, but also a reminder of why they say you should always have at least one protagonist you can root for. The actors help!

But wasn’t that considered a feature not a bug, just like his well qualified colleague Pete Keg-seth?

I’m sure it is. This is the same man who quoted Pulp Fiction thinking it was a real line from scripture.

Sea lion wandered into my hood! Maybe looking for Hook Fish Company restaurant or coffee. (Glad he’s ok.)

So PG&E power has gone out twice in my neighborhood since last night. Making it rather difficult to do my remote job. I also got an email that my PGE bill is due soon. Hm, what if just like they sometimes decide not to provide power for awhile, I decide not to provide funds for awhile?

Nothing like relaxing before bed with some nice soothing episodes of The Pitt

@realfollowers.bsky.social hello

Talking about Donald Trump having dementia just gives a sympathetic excuse for inexcusable preexisting conditions. Donald has *always* been a mean, self-centered, incoherent fool who says stupid and ignorant things.
