I’m becoming convinced that the reason they keep making the White House look like Mar-a-Lago is that he’s slowly losing his memory and they keep trying to put him in places that seem familiar.

Man, Eva Victor's SORRY, BABY really blew me away. There are full scenes in that movie that are so good that if they'd been presented on their own would pick up the Oscar for best short.

I did some work for LA Metro last year and they would only do our monthly calls on Teams. Drove me nuts. I was like "can we actually just use the phone?" Nope. They insisted on the program where you have to trouble-shoot logging in every single time.

From 1834, Sen. Henry Clay sewing Andrew Jackson's mouth shut to keep him from making defamatory statements to lay the groundwork for his abuses of power.

What’s cool is that now when you yell β€œlosers” at a bunch of masked ICE goons, there’s a chance one of them is Dean Cain

Living in Texas at that time, I thought this was the most baller thing ever. Then somebody threw a shoe at the president.

2003 Texas redistricting - Wikipedia

With Texas Democrats leaving the state to prevent quorum in a redistricting vote, I keep thinking back to 2003, when Texas Democrats left the state to prevent quorum for a redistricting vote.

I’m mad because I knew number 3 but kept telling myself that there was no way it was a January film.

This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for BeyoncΓ© to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile β€œstole” teenage girls from him.

Nixon ran in 1962, wrongly thinking it would be a sure thing since he carried our state in his loss to Kennedy in 1960.

He then lost that too and had to leave politics for six years.

Insane. Terrifying and, weirdly, very funny. As somebody who puts THE FLY in his Top Five, this checked every box I wanted it to and then did some extra credit just to show off. Absolutely loved it.

Been thinking about this a lot, and how we’ve been blindsided in the past for mistaking Twitter as the real world, but the difference here is Trump is the most online person alive. While it Is a real issue on the minds of Americans, what matters most is that it’s online. And that he keeps seeing it.

...and same question bc I just rewatched the 1985 college-paintball-comedy-turned-Cold-War-thriller GOTCHA!, with then-unknown Anthony Edwards & Linda Fiorentino.

Its whole charm is that it feels scrappy & cheap, how did it cost three times as much as DROP? Who greenlit it at that budget??

Hi. I love this. Not just the idea but the story behind it. The LA historian in me is geeking out about the library deep dive.

Telling Andy Dick I loved Newsradio and having him convince 23 yo me to buy him a drink. Then he ate my food and asked repeatedly if I had any coke, when a bouncer came in from another bar he’d just been thrown out of, grabbed him and dragged him out, saying β€œwe never finished our conversation.”

Yesterday marked one year since Trump was shot at and scratched by a glass fragment from his teleprompter, and we still know relatively nothing about the shooter.

That's pretty weird, right?

Tomi Lahren just posted on the other place that the federal government should β€œlet California go” and that California should get β€œnot one dime.” Where does she think the federal government gets most of its dimes?
