RIP Country Joe MacDonald. Joe told me about the 1968 Great Piano Drop show. He was almost fixin' to die that day:concert promoters in the helicopter were on LSD, it risked crashing, so the piano dropped near the stage. www.cityartsmagazine.com/issues-seatt...
The fake news will say I said what I said in the previous sentence.
This really is a great picture:
Alysa Liu's victory is a good time to point out that, despite Dave Barry's mockery, "MacArthur Park" is NOT a nonsense song--it's about a cake the songwriter really saw in the rain in the park by the apartment of the love of his life whose elusiveness was breaking his heart.
Well!
“The President of the United States is a criminal. He’s not just a convicted criminal. He should have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th. He is running the government like a mob operation.“
HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime.
Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.
An undeclared, unprovoked, and illegal war designed to, well, we can only guess—though Donald Trump and JD Vance have seemed to concede this was a war for oil—puts the United States on the same moral and legal footing as Russia, which invaded its neighbor in a war of pure aggression.
But what if Maduro’s involvement in the drug trade was an “official act”?
1. Bari Weiss’s CBS works for Ellisons and Trump.
2.They report on the world as corrupt billionaires want you to see it.
3. Their contempt for you is infinite.
4. They're America's deadliest enemies ever.
5. They despise truth, and think they can impose a fascist future on you.
“We are not out to score points with one side of the political spectrum," said Bari Weiss, whose pert nose then grew and punched right through the window of the CBS Black Rock Building.
When a major media outlet openly capitulates to the political agenda of the executive branch, they are no longer part of the fourth estate.
They are state-run media.
Add Bari Weiss and CBS to the list of those who have betrayed our Republic.
Lord knows I'm not a fan of any of this corporate media consolidation — Netflix and Paramount both should be barred from buying WBD.
But in terms of sending a message, would be stellar if everyone watched Good Night and Good Luck on Netflix together next Sunday when 60 Minutes is on the air.
To be fair, Bari Weiss and Olivia Nuzzi do feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility to the Father of Lies.
The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.
CBS NEWS: “We can’t report on the current murdering spree until we get the serial killer’s side of the story.”
Bari Weiss really is an idiot if she thought this wouldn’t come out
@BariWeiss just changed CBS to Shackled Press. After the White House complained, Weiss changed the name to Trump Shackled Press.
Firesign Theatre's David Ossman notes: Tom Stoppard, RIP. He...and Peter Bergman were together at a "literary colloquium" in Berlin. Tom went home with R&G Are Dead, and Pete brought Waiting for the Electrician back to LA. Couple of natural surrealists.
There goes the First Amendment.
There must be an effective Boycott Fascists app, so that zero dollars from Trump-victim Americans go to businesses and institutions that menace us (& democracy, rule of law, science, public health, free speech, prosperity, America's power in the world & reason itself) more with each passing day.
I lived in the beautiful apartment my landlord bought with money from making Anaconda. Same one whose door Naomi Watts knocks on and Ann Miller opens it in Mulholland Dr.
Trump's ally strikes again
Listen. I believe in my ability as a writer, but I know it’s asking a lot for you to support me when Ty Burr and Alan Sepinwall are out here with their own newsletters.
Whatever support you can offer is appreciated
The 'Don't Tread on Me' people are in jackboots treading on the other half of the country.
JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech
TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.

Also America: Bite your fingernails while Medicare delays for months in signing you up, risking a gap of coverage that enables insurance companies to bankrupt or kill you. Why did my grandparents ever leave Norway?
