To Pete Hegseth's credit, almost nobody is talking any more about the fact that he killed about 150 foreign nationals in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific who posed ZERO threat to the United States.
Sad but exciting day. Today is the final day of the regular season for most of women's college basketball but there is a great lineup of games. Duke at North Carolina. Texas at Alabama. Vandy at Tennessee. South Carolina at Kentucky. And my beloved Louisville Cardinals hosting dangerous Notre Dame.
His role as an attorney for corporate polluters in A Civil Action was one of the most accurate portrayals I've ever seen. He was truly one of those actors who improved every scene he ever appeared in.
#4 Texas vs. #5 Vanderbilt on a Thursday night and it's just on streaming. Do better, ESPN.
On second thought, the final scene of The Strawberry Statement may not be so out of date as I stated.
Sad. I hadn't heard he had died. I didn't see a lot of his work but liked him in what I saw, especially his small role in MASH (movie) and, of course, Harold and Maude. I also enjoyed The Strawberry Statement, which is terribly outdated but still amusing as an early vehicle for Bruce Davison.
Vote EVERY Republican out this November!
Number of shootings by immigration agents during the current administration: at least 27, including 8 deaths.
Number of immigration agents killed by "domestic terrorist" protesters during the current administration: 0.
You mean like the spouse of a Supreme Court justice paying for buses to bring protesters in to Washington, DC? Or the sitting president using his social media platforms to make sure everyone knows to be at his speech because it will "be wild"? Like that, you mean?
Anyone who reads Trump's screed earlier about the murder in Minneapolis this morning and still believes that he's competent to serve as President can just fuck off.
Let me get this straight. According to the WH, the guy was a heavily armed terrorist intending to massacre federal agents. Sooooo the appropriate response, rather than taking cover and demanding that he disarm, was to walk up to him and push him down????
So to honor a team of almost all foreign-born players, Trump brags about what a good job he's doing getting rid of foreign-born people?
What if Biden had said, after he got the infrastructure bill passed, "I've decided that Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas are all corrupt. I'm not going to give them any money for their road and bridge projects"?
To be fair, you also have to include a letter that blames Biden for your indictment/conviction.
I keep hearing Rubio justify the invasion of Venezuela as simply an operation to arrest an alleged criminal. I assume, therefore, that he would have no problem with another country arresting Netanyahu. Is that how this works now?
No, Donald. The Supreme Court can't indict Letitia James for you.
Trump administration says drug cartels are terrorist organizations. That means they can blow up fishing boats.
The White House has also declared that Antifa is a terrorist organization. How long before the administration justifies shooting protesters?
He may be right. Since they were free of all that meddlesome legislating and since they have abandoned any efforts at oversight, they had all kinds of time to shake down constituents for campaign contributions.
I completely agree. The Epstein issue shouldn't distract people from seeing that the Republicans have taken away health insurance from millions, weakened Medicaid, violated due process rights of thousands and imposed death penalties on anyone they "suspect" of transporting drugs.
I do this: I'll really like a band, listen to everything they put out until they release an album that, in my opinion, is underwhelming. I will then stop listening to anything but the earlier albums, only to find, years later, that they did some great stuff after the "underwhelming" album.
For tonight is Hallowe'en:

Right. I think he gives guitar lessons/seminars there. I saw him do a solo show in Charleston, SC about 3 years ago. He can still play.
Jorma Kaukonen is still around. He was even born in D.C.
This is only another step in his ultimate goal: only white male landowners can vote, just like the Framers intended.
Sadly, I just learned a few minutes ago that we lost one of my favorite songwriters yesterday. RIP Dave Cousins. Thank you for the treasure of music you've left us.

Meg, on the recommendation of my daughter, @thetomatowriter.bsky.social, I bought the trilogy. I've finished the first two books and am looking forward to starting the third soon. I have really enjoyed your work and I'm excited to see what happens with the characters next.
Because I hear it's Canada Day (and also Tuesday):

Day 30
Thank you again, @buddygott.bsky.social , for such a fun challenge.
I end where I started, with Deep Purple, with yet another lineup change. Glenn Hughes, from Trapeze, joins on bass and David Coverdale takes over on vocals for Burn.

The amazing Tedeschi Trucks Band with a cover of Tangled Up in Blue featuring three singers, a piano solo and a couple of Derek's outstanding guitar solos.
