The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

Bleed, bleed, poor country!
Great tyranny, lay thou thy basis sure,
For goodness dare not check thee

O, pity, God, this miserable age!
What stratagems! How fell! How butcherly!

Yeah, all shot in Chicago. Pretty funny. Story: I was on the set watching a night shoot;
Gene was very grumpy (VERY) and wanted to be done with it. Director told him they were behind schedule, needed to keep going. Gene ripped 3 pages from script: β€œNow we’re on fucking schedule. I’m going home.”

Leonard Cohen on Creativity, Work Ethic, and Why You Should Never Quit Before You Know What It Is You’re Quitting β€œThe cutting of the gem has to be finished before you can see whether it shines.”

β€œThe cutting of the gem has to be finished before you can see whether it shines.”

Leonard Cohen, who would have been 91 on today, on creativity, work ethic, and why you should never quit before you know what it is you're quitting

Today we celebrate Leonard Cohen, born on this day. Poet, prophet, singer of our shadows and our light. He once reminded us: β€œIn this world, you have to be a bit too kind just to be kind enough.”
May we carry that wisdom forward.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.
