Good fucking morning to everybody except the ICE agents who kidnapped a blind man, realized they had no basis to deport him, and then released him five miles from his home. He died, scared and alone, just trying to find his way back to his house. That’s evil.
McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

"FBI is leading the investigation."
State and local electeds, law enforcement, and prosecutors need to come up with a plan to prosecute and charge murder by the feds because this federal jurisdiction loophole they've invented cannot hold as a means of avoiding accountability. People won't have it.

Journey well Miss Viola.
Viola Ford Fletcher, who as one of the last survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre in Oklahoma spent her later years seeking justice for the deadly attack by a white mob on the thriving Black community where she lived as a child, has died.
Adrenochrome is a complete invention...what’s interesting about QAnon is this belief in secret cabals and control. It’s far more chaotic...a desire to believe... a displaced faith in God, except God was more open-minded. variety.com/2025/film/fe...
This is sooo good!
And just a reminder to all the Academy members -- SINNERS should win all the things!

Steve Jobs, for example, said “think different” and made new products often built off the best characteristics of the old ones. What he did not do is employ the hackish jazz hands, “make things go boom” approach. To be fair, this works if you are 4 years old.
Pelosi: "Trump is the worst president of the United States that American children have ever had in terms of their health, education, a clean, safe environment in which they can thrive - including safety from gun violence - the economic security of their families and a future that is fair and just."
Pelosi: "President Trump is the biggest con job in American history"

AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI.
So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion…
“Despite everything that’s happening in the world and everything around us and any frustration or helplessness we feel or betrayal we feel, we have to remember it’s also all right to feel the joy of being alive and feel the joy of your own possibilities,” Patti Smith says on “The Ezra Klein Show.”
In “Wake Up Dead Man,” Rian Johnson has tried a fiendishly difficult type of whodunnit: an “impossible crime” story. The danger of this kind of story is that, he says, the endings “are inevitably a little bit of a letdown.” Will he stick the landing? https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/pfmvvB
I think we all know that the Ai rewrite of the New Testament as prompted by studio algorithms and audience test screenings has Pilate pardoning Jesus, apologizing for the misunderstanding and crowning him King of the Jews at the royal palace. Also, add a hot love interest for the Savior.
The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what “works,” but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative.

Trump's social media meltdown today is pure porn. Not just for Dems or progressives, but for anyone sentient who knows innocent people don't spend months calling something a hoax and then, in the end, claiming their enemies are complicit in the same said hoax.
Spittle and flopsweat as he types.
