January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didn’t end when the mob left the Capitol.

That’s why I’m running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress.

I’m Harry Dunn. And I’m ready to finish the job.

This is the plan. Run away/disappear/not tell anyone where I am and go live on my new boat.
Don’t try to find me.

The 'up to eleven' scene from Spinal Tap, but instead of a speaker Nigel Tufnel is talking about, it's the man with 6 fingers on one hand from The Princess Bride holding up both of his hands.

I much prefer reading @stephenking.bsky.social to watching the films based on his work, but that brilliant mashup of IT and THE MUSIC MAN in WELCOME TO DERRY scratched a deep itch in my soul.

This grim-visaged warrior actually got a few laughs in last Monday's CORIOLANUS by the Back Room Shakespeare Project, cut to a fleet & fierce 85 minutes by Sam Pearson (bloody C himself) and performed in Chicago's tiny Hideout tavern. #TheFaultDearBrutusIsNotInOurBars

Loved @questlove.bsky.social’s film SLY LIVES, especially when Shakespeare holds forth about THE BURDEN OF BLACK GENIUS. Bravo.

Usually journalists listen for information. Instead, we must listen to *understand.*

Join journalist and educator Hugo Balta for a virtual introduction to "Complicating the Narratives." It just might change how you source, interview, and report.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Thank you, Paul Rieckoff!! OpSec was violated.
I don't care how many home runs were made. These were attack plans in a non-scif, non-approved platform.
For your reference, reporters use Signal to receive tips.
