YouTube video by The Academy Tim Curry Breaks Down His Most Iconic Roles

This is delightful which of course it is because it’s Tim Curry dammit but it contains two earth shattering revelations for the Curryverse and they are

1) he was considered for Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park

2) he read the screenplay for Silence of the Lambs and wanted to be cast as Hannibal Lector

“What happens when Darth Vader shows up with the Imperial Fleet? You think the woke Dems will have us ready for that? Do you?

Thanks to President Trump we are laying the foundation to be worthy of joining the Galactic Empire as Lord Vader’s foremost ally when that day comes!”

And Tarrio is taking a selfie so this wasn’t an odd angle-type pic - Rubio is look at Tarrio’s phone and giving that big fan-boy smile.

Live Updates: Iranian Fuel Depots Burn as U.S.-Israeli Strikes Grow

If you have not seen the footage of what we have done to Tehran and its people for no reason in the last 24 hours— well, it’s devastating.

Brilliant 🏆

Isata Kanneh-Mason absolutely tears through Rachmaninoff’s fiendish Piano Concerto No. 3 with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Local Miami journalists have been doing the heavy lifting on this for years, against formidable odds.

Well done, keep the faith, don’t lose the strength of your convictions…

Shameful - “on both sides” - baseball hat and misleading footage.

Wonder if he will sue Fox for billions for falsely editing the video of him.

Neither I nor any of the many with whom I served across almost 30 years swore an oath to “march across the world” to inflict our vision on others.

These folks just get more unserious each time they speak.

What on earth is going on with them?

This is “Salem witch trials” level of mass hysteria.

I do hope that those in leadership positions (they aren’t leading, per se, but they are in those positions) do a bit of reading about the Iran-Iraq war to refresh (or inform) themselves about who our troops will be fighting.

If even half that resolve exists today in Iran, we are in for a big fight.

Even red states are defiantly rejecting DOJ’s demands for private voter data “Election officials across the political spectrum stood up to protect state sovereignty and voters’ security, regardless of partisanship,” voting rights advocate David Becker told Democracy Docket.

Earlier this week, Idaho became the latest state to push back against the U.S. Department of Justice’s campaign to seize the private voter data of every state. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/eve...

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Could never find a follow up on what happened to that group of kids…hoping they all did some good somewhere somehow…

Sesame Street, Mr Rogers, Electric Company, Zoom…public television in the 70’s…

Here’s Bootsy Collins teaching how to funk it up.

May your day be as funky and fresh as Bootsy would want it to be.

They dehumanize those we attacked and they treat US servicemembers like they are players in ‘Call of Duty’.

Beyond reprehensible.

They are all acting as if we live in a sultanate.

Biggest stunner is how Congress - our representatives - is just rolling over.

I had five calls today with new and developing activists from Texas to Connecticut.

People are doing shit everywhere. And not small things.

Don't let anyone tell you all hope is lost.

Karoline Leavitt: It doesn't matter if Russia is helping Iran kill American troops.

What a breathtakingly twisted White House.

Trump now demands “unconditional surrender” from Iran.

This is ‘firebombing Tokyo’ territory.

Last time we demanded unconditional surrender it took two nuclear weapons…

Similar to how nations were trying to get into NATO to protect themselves from Russia.

Only now they’re trying to get into the EU to protect themselves against us.

Ryan does a great job here. This is the way to hold admin accountable knowing there won’t be a substantive answer from Colby.

Colby’s answers show the risk of taking a political appointment in this admin - abandoning his strongly argued opinions and worldview…for what?

How does this serve him?

One of my favorites. I think he provides the solution at the end of the first stanza. The best simply cannot lose conviction.

The neighbors in Minnesota, all those who fight to defend the vulnerable and speak the truth - we must not surrender to the ‘passionate intensity’ of the worst.

“While conceding that “extraordinary physical difficulties” lay ahead, General Burgoyne exuded the high-spirited complacency obligatory at the beginning of every military calamity.”
