I'd put money on this guy living nowhere near NYC and living paycheck to paycheck while hating poor people.

Thank G-d for M. Gessen.

Three years.

When Pritzker is President?

You step in because you are needed; Mills is not needed here. Platner's got this.

He went to the Mitch McConnell school of Congressional leadership.

YouTube video by Oscars Warren Beatty ‪Wins Best Directing: 1982 Oscars

Betty's opening line in his acceptance speech for Best Director for Reds is the most romatic thing in the universe.

You definitely get a bit of that…

The accompanying peachy pink icons look like vulva diagrams, which is the best thing I can say about them.

I watched it recently and was flabbergasted that my divorced father brought me to see it in the movie theater.

Today, Ted would have joined a men's group and started voting for Trump and posting rude comments on women's social media posts about how he wouldn't f*ck them.

Roll Call Factba.se - Speech: Donald Trump Addresses Military Leadership in Quantico, Virginia - September 30, 2025 Full transcript of Donald J. Trump: Speech: Donald Trump Addresses Military Leadership in Quantico, Virginia - September 30, 2025

I got around to reading the transcript (well, as much as I could bear) of the president's "speech" to the gathering of US military leaders and it truly is insane.

Sounds more like the people of New York City should be worried.

Had to miss the end to get on a flight.

Thank you, Jesus.

ORWELL 2+2 = 5 — "The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude" - Orwell; ADOLESCENCE — I came late to this party, but holy hell is this good storytelling.

Had a great week of film viewing: CHRISTY — had zero interest and wouldn't have seen it if I had not been invited, but got caught up by the performances and story; THE MASTERMIND — my love for Kelly Reichardt persists and my love for Josh O'Connor grows, also, dang those Thompson boys;

But they don't like it either.

Not everyone is being a coward; some of them are actually evil.

No one cares about truth any more.

The narrative is written and then facts are selected to illustrate the chosen tale.

I honestly feel like I am going to lose my mind.

I said this before and I am sure I will say it again; the frequency with which male colleagues talk shit about their female colleagues in airline lounges is astounding.

Listening to two men discuss abducting and killing a female colleague they dislike.

"She is too confident."

I love bears.

I fucking love this woman with every ounce of my soul.

I bought these, the Betty White, the Keith Haring and the "250 Years of Delivering." I love USPS and I think it's horrendous that we take it for granted.

Yet another "thing" ruined by social media. Everyone thinks they can write a review; everyone thinks their opinion is valid — regardless of whether it is informed.

When I see an amazing film, I hunt down its reviews from my favorite critics, reliving the joy and discovering even more.

I am sad.

He's smart, funny, and conscious of the power of his words and of the films about which he writes; I look forward to reading him elsewhere.

You are forgiven for disparaging the Space Needle. 😉

I have lived here for 15 years and I still stop and take a picture of it from time to time. It's perfect just as it is and how it was intended to be.

Thank you, a Storm fan.

Because the men who are accused — including the president — see themselves as victims.

AT has no time for such nonsense.

It took me way too long to realize that Pete HEGSETH did not have a "nuanced" take regarding trans athletes.

(It was when I got to the sentence about him being the smartest person in the room…)

Bullshit.

I like old movies too. I check the TCM schedule every morning as I plan my day for what I can watch or what I need to record. And I like looking for the programmer's themes.

You be you. It's been good for you.
