Sonnet 098 - XCVIII
From you have I been absent in the spring,
When proud-pied April, dress'd in all his trim,
Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing,
That heavy Saturn laughed and leapt with him.
Yet nor the lays of birds, nor the sweet smell
Of different flowers in odour and in hue,
Could […]

Sonnet 084 - LXXXIV
Who is it that says most, which can say more,
Than this rich praise, that you alone, are you,
In whose confine immured is the store
Which should example where your equal grew?
Lean penury within that pen doth dwell
That to his subject lends not some small glory;
But he that […]

I found that video too hard to watch when I heard the crack.

God I hate this timeline

Mark Richins (@mark_richins) on Threads “What was we ranked…” 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣🤣 Repeats it again.

“What was we ranked on reading…” 😳😳

Mark “missing a space in his two first names” Wayne (born 1977) illustrates how Oklahoma may not have been teaching reading and writing well in the early 1980s.

Working with an #acting #coaching client and inverted the motive behind a speech: made it about convincing themselves or justifying to themselves though inventing reasons, instead of explaining, and the whole reality opened up differently. Very cool.

Tim Sheehy altercation: Republican defends role in protester’s removal A chaotic Senate hearing ended with a protester injured after resisting removal as a Montana senator stepped in to assist police.

The state of Montana sent violence to Washington DC in the form of wanna-be-Capitol-policeman Senator Sheehy.

As an American I am ashamed of Montana, the Senator and (for once again bringing violence to the US Capitol) the GOP. The country, Montana and the veterans deserve better.

Working with a new #acting #coaching client on new material, seeing the words start to migrate into them, so the scene is more than just words on a page, was so cool. Had them try a rehearsal technique that started unlocking the character, and so good to see them thrive with it.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

‼️‼️

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

finally watched Casablanca. wild in this day and age for something to actually live up to the hype

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Vance's "war on fraud" is a fraud It'd be laughable if people weren't getting hurt.

"The truth is Vance’s 'war on fraud' is a phantom, a PR effort that will likely uncover no misdeeds that weren’t already known to actual fraud investigators. Vance’s pretend fight against fraud is the real fraud, and it’s just what we might expect from the most corrupt administration in history."

he's a better man than I am for not just quoting back at them from that shitshow Oval Office meeting and then hanging up

In an adversarial information environment, you should only believe that my kitty cat Henry is soft and cute and sleepy and he purrs really loud

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

Kristi Noem going out praising herself for her courageous public service when all she did was steal our money and lie to America and brutalize the vulnerable and screw her boyfriend is pretty much the exit from DHS I expected of her

It is very important she eventually go to prison

how about we just send markwayne mullin to the hague now

get him an office in holland, and it'll be a quick commute for his trial for all the crimes against humanity he's sure to commit within his first fortnight

DHS/ICE/CBP need to be disbanded by the US Congress and every single employee and contractor reviewed for criminal activity. That is how deep the rot is.

The competition for the dumbest member of the United States Senate has just heated up with the elimination of one its strongest contestants!!

Today 73 ago Stalin , monster guilty in genocide of millions of Ukrainians , finally died . Died after being left to lie, powerless and alone, on the floor, for hours (or even days)

Let this be a reminder that even the most seemingly all powerful evil eventually
