Sid Krofft, Producer and Creator of ‘H.R. Pufnstuf,’ ‘Land of the Lost,’ Dies at 96 Sid Krofft, the producer of 'H.R. Pufnstuf' and 'Land of the Lost,' died Friday in Los Angeles.

I am thankful I got to meet Sid while working on the film Land of the Lost and I’m glad I got the chance to tell him how much he had blown my childhood mind. He was just as kind as you would have expected him to be. RIP Sid.

47 announces Infrastructure Week

Is it Infrastructure Week already, again?….

This cannot stand. Surely?

To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.

The Trans Panic: How Conservatives Duped Their Phobic Base and Sacrificed a Vulnerable Minority When you understand what motivates people, you can easily manipulate them.
