He was your spiritual protector. I am so sorry for your loss!

A thousand times this. Carlson is completely performative. Come at me when he's taken non-public action towards repair with people he has actually harmed. P.S. People should follow/support Sydette.

You're right. Everything in ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN seems nearly quaint, but this quote still tracks for now.

"Then there must be something, mustn't there. Look, forget the myths the media's created about the White House--the truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."

Never have I ever been so annoyed by two sitcom director bros getting elevated beyond their intellectual pay grade. Eff me, I was groaning in irritation just reading this post.

He certainly lived a lot longer than Cooper. I believe he did the voice of the Caterpillar for Disney's Alice in Wonderland.

Great movie! The herd of geeky professors that Gary Cooper's character is writing the encyclopedias with is hilarious.

I mean part of me would erase watching Requiem for a Dream or Dancer in the Dark. I'm haunted by the ending of both.

We've all seen the videos of ICE pulling people out of their cars, shooting citizens with pepper balls, and even worse killing Americans in the streets.

This is not normal. And it cannot continue.

ICE needs commonsense guardrails NOW.

I saw Fiddler on the Roof staged by the high school when I was in grade school and loved it. I adore the movie. I'd probably put Kiss Me Kate second (saw it staged at Music Circus in Sacramento). Both completely emotional choices.

When a guy like Rogan says he’s “politically homeless right now” and then, unlike most politically homeless people is invited to hang out with the President a week later, all smiles, it’s designed to confuse and demoralize you

80 years ago today, Jackie Robinson made his integrated professional baseball debut with the International League's Montreal Royals.

He went 4-for-5 with a home run and two stolen bases in the Royals' 14-1 win over the Jersey City Giants at Roosevelt Stadium.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Never a horror person, but now this is on my radar.

Apt thread. #Oligarchy

I think I need to pull the trigger on getting Peacock for this alone.

Pete Hegseth is a dipshit himbo without the fun and games. My god...he also probably believes that FARGO was based on a true story!

The 'Black recession' is here: Trump's tariffs gutted Black workers and Black-owned businesses According to data from Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Black Americans have suffered the most under Trump's tariffs program.

According to data analyzed by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Black USians have suffered the most under regime’s tariffs program

Relief for Black-owned businesses, workers and homeowners is nowhere in sight as Trump’s war in Iran also drives up gas and energy prices. #BlackSky

In early February I wrote a dispatch from the Cities, and it's in the latest issue of The Anarchist Review of Books, an excellent publication we should all be reading!!

I'm still furious as well.

Judges Fired After Blocking Deportations of Pro-Palestinian Students

BREAKING: the judges who dismissed high-profile cases in immigration court against two international students who have advocated for Palestinian causes, Rümeysa Öztürk and Mohsen Mahdawi, were fired yesterday, alongside four other judges.

/w @haleaziz.bsky.social and @nicknehamas.bsky.social

Agree.

Just dire and unacceptable.

I love a good statement necklace.

The thinking about having early-onset dementia is for real the weirdest, scariest part of it.

🤦‍♀️...never has the loss of expertise...hell, the loss of basic humility depressed me more. Trump is both symptom, as well as a catalyst, of the most insane and proud dumbing down of my fellow U.S. Americans.

Good lord...

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

Wise advice.
