Okay, I’ve heard all the criticisms. I agree now that my plan to create a Jonestown on Mars was foolish and dangerous. I will instead be building a much more achievable Jonestown on the Moon

Excellent as a revolutionary in very 90s Dennis Potter sci-fi miniseries Cold Lazarus. Also Diane Ladd making her work in Wild at Heart look restrained.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Instructor who gave U of Oklahoma student a zero on anti-trans paper removed from teaching Graduate assistant Mel Curth found Samantha Fulnecky's paper unscientific and offensive in referring to trans people as "demonic."

What is happening at the University of Oklahoma is an outrageous violation of due process.

"They hide behind vague statements & assertions of β€˜trust us.’ At this point, they need to show us and not tell us."

They run an AI-generated ad on Tubi that takes place in an ersatz Tattoine cantina with all the aliens betting on celebrity baby gender reveals and global warming. It pulses with evil.

Frank & Eleanor Perry's Last Summer (1969). Every performance is great but Catherine Burns manages something beyond description as Rhoda.

There has always been a small, noisy minority of gay people whose belief in gay rights boils down to "I shouldn't have to give up any of my prejudices because of who I am." And straight people in media have always fallen all over themselves to hire them.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

This is a masterpiece? There should have been dozens of Ben Gazzara/Denholm Elliot movies.
