One thing about Kash Patel eventually being fired is there’s no way to imagine what his face will look like upon hearing the news.

An Ampex VR-1000 in 1960. Photo from Eyes of a Generation on Facebook.

The first professional videotape recorder was introduced 70 years ago today.

The Ampex VR-1000 was demo’ed at the NAB Convention in Chicago on 4/14/56.

It sold for $45,000 ($550,000 today) and orders came so fast, the sales staff was writing them on "cocktail napkins.” #TVSky #Tech #PhysicalMedia

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

Translation to lazy American media: “don’t both sides this; this is not a feud between rivals; he’s not on my level and treating his bullshit like it is on my level is to embrace and dignify his bullshit.”

Donny posted that pic because he fell in love with it the second he laid his dull, porcine eyes on it

Weak on crime.

JD Vance's speech in Hungary was widely mocked, and deservedly so. But I think it deserves our attention. As vile as he is, he made common cause with right-populists abroad. He laid out a vision of a shared international future. We shouldn't cede that turf. 4/

this is called "doing something"

read this whole thread. i will never ever ever use self checkout again. anywhere

he's counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don't have healthcare

yeah, i think political work needs to be done to connect vance directly to people like orban. "vance wants to rule over you like you're a slave

Dilley is evil and must be closed. It's a goddamn concentration camp. A moral abomination. People are going to Hell over this.

it’s just one goddamned beef after another with America’s Grudgemaster General.

Without hyperbole, the dude has dementia. People, call your reps t& tell them to support raskin’s call for a cognitive exam to be done and made public. we are entitled to know just how gone he is, cuz he is,. nothing he says is based on reality. It’s not just lying, he’s too unwell to be president.

Farewell to Sid Krofft (1929-2026)

He spent decades as a puppeteer — including opening for stars like Judy Garland — before he and brother Marty (1937-2023) created + produced some of the most memorable kids shows of the '70s.

“I get a dream, and Marty gets it done,” Sid said of their partnership.

Sid Krofft, creator of psychedelic kids shows, dead at 96 Along with his brother Marty, Sid Krofft co-created such trippy kids classics as H.R. Pufnstuf, Land of the Lost, The Bugaloos, and Lidsville.

Here's preview of the end of the current US administration

There's a lot going on in this clip but can we circle back to the "DoorDash GRANDMA" t-shirt for a second? Trump normalizing retirement-age gig workers tells you everything you need to know about the American economy under Republican leadership

Having mocked and insulted a billion Muslims on Tuesday, Trump attacked core beliefs of a billion Catholics today. And don’t forget his suggestion that any Jew who didn’t vote for him was an idiot. All in the days between the end of Ramadan, Passover, Easter and Orthodox Easter.

Surprised JD Vance wasn't able to close a deal with the Iranians. His only skill is saying whatever people want to hear.
