When I lived in Los Angeles, Ozzy Osbourne’s local studio was in my neighborhood. I was a regular at a diner called Lulu’s Alibi. So were Ozzy and his crew.

I never talked to any of them, but Lulu’s had a menu item named after him. The Ozzy was a chip butty (French fry sandwich.) It wasn’t bad.

#MovieKid reviews There's Still Tomorrow (2023), a most amazing Italian film that the three of us loved. Have you seen it? (You can watch it with English subtitles.)

It would be useful if news organizations would use a word other than "Civil War" to describe intra-party disagreement.

Our latest @cccr.bsky.social survey reveals how unpopular the president’s most notable policy changes are with the American public. The survey also highlights the diversity of views within the GOP, related to their information diets, as well as US economic attitudes. cccr.wisc.edu/wp-content/u...
