Cynthia and Sara. Stunning tribute. And ending with Gavin. 😭 #TonyAwards

Absolutely bawling at the opening of the #Tonys. Cynthia is insane. In awe. Go. Girl. 🥹

Baldwin to RFK Jr: "Is funding for Alzheimer's research centers DEI? Because you're holding up $65m for 14 of those centers in 9 states, including UW Madison. Is funding for cancer centers DEI? Because you're holding up $47m in cancer center support grants at 9 cancer centers in 8 states."

Head of CBS News to Depart Amid Tensions With Trump

Breaking News: Wendy McMahon, the president of CBS News, said she would resign. McMahon had allied herself with Bill Owens, the “60 Minutes” executive producer who recently resigned. It’s the latest in a showdown between the news division and President Trump.

P.S. Another reason to switch to #TheStoryGraph. It's so much more user-friendly (and not just because the app doesn't crash continuously).

Has anyone ever actually won a free giveaway book on Goodreads?

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Jesus. No one's asserting that MS-13 isn't bad. They're asserting that Abrego Garcia didn't have anything to do with it.

This stunt not only doesn't provide that evidence, it pretty much proves they don't have it. Why else would they go to such lengths to muddy the waters like this?

Can’t believe they flippered tariffs against us yesterday.

A month ago, our car was totaled from a hit and run. Yesterday, we bought a new (used) vehicle. It's shiny and pretty and sooo nice.

As much as I didn't want a car payment...finding the silver lining in buying this big hunk of metal before tariffs cause vehicles to get even more stupid expensive.

Every single Democrat in Congress should be demanding the resignation of Waltz and Hegseth. Every single one.

This is a massive scandal. There should be a serious price to pay.

AND THERE IS ZERO DOWNSIDE FOR EVEN THE MOST SCAREDY-CAT CONGRESSPERSON.

Imagine if Biden didn't notice a civilian journalist in a signal group chat about war plans.

Hell; imagine the Biden administration having SIGNAL CHATS ABOUT BOMBING COUNTRIES

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

This story is absolutely bonkers.

Top national security officials in the Trump admin shared operational details of a military strike on Yemen in a Signal group chat, one they mistakenly added a journalist to, so he watched the whole thing play out in real time.

Just utter morons.

Shoppers abroad and domestic, because I, too, don't want to support America right now.

Ira Hayes was an alcoholic, but I guess not even that kind of personal connection can trump Pete Hesgeth's fundamental racism.

Nothing like having a chili cook off at the office on a 70º day.

These are some insanely talented people who deserve to play on one of the most famed stages in America. And yet doing so today would send completely the wrong message, so of course they won't. So infuriatingly unfair.

Went to a Pink Martini concert tonight in KC (wonderful!!) and they made multiple references to supporting gay rights, and then somewhere in between all the jazzy numbers, the pianist told the audience they wouldn't be hired to play the Kennedy Center anytime soon and I...ugh.

Musk’s Purges Suddenly Take a Horrific Turn—and Wreck an Ugly MAGA Lie We can now be depressingly confident that their mass cuts are killing people.

“This is going to be a massive loss of life overall,” a surgeon who formerly led USAID’s global health initiatives tells TNR. “Children are likely already dying, and will clearly be dying in large numbers.”

Just downloaded @thestorygraph.com and transferring over all my Goodreads data. Excited!!!

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who has been one of the most vocal critics of his party’s approach to Trump, said in an interview that the spectacle from Democrats was “sad AF.” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said that while he understands “the emotion behind” such outbursts, they are “not my style.” In an illustration of how sharply Democrats are split over how to take on Trump, one of the party’s rising stars, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Florida), said his colleagues’ rowdiness on Tuesday was the point. He was among a group of Democrats who departed before the end of Trump’s speech. “It is rude. It is disrespectful,” he said. “That was the whole point of it — to disrespect him.”

This is literally the problem: We NEED to be rude. We need emotion. These fuckers are destroying democracy & hurting people; our elected Democrats *should* be pissed. When they're not, they're essentially gaslighting the rest of us. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

It's a dreary day outside so my boss told me to connect to the bluetooth speaker and play music for the office...and that's so hard? lol what music do you play to appease an entire office of people?!?

The Service From this ‘Waitress’ is Outstanding Happiness is an alien concept to Jenna Hunterson.  She’s trapped in an abusive and loveless marriage.  She has an unwanted pregnancy.  The only moments when she experiences peace is …

Update: Rave review of "Waitress" by a traveling theatre blogger! This is really cool.

If you're in NE Kansas, "Waitress" is a must-see at Topeka Civic Theatre. The music and story are beautiful, and (I know I'm biased as the choreographer but) this cast and crew make you forget it's a community theatre production.

The world is in chaos but art lives on.

A federal judge in Washington said that the way the Trump administration set up and has been running Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency could violate the Constitution.

The amount of supremely unqualified people running every inch of our government today? The limit does not exist. Absolutely appalling, and no one is doing a damn thing about it.

When Vanity Fair asked Trump Jr. for comment, his spokesman replied, "You people are a bunch of retards."

Thankful for being able to escape to community theatre. Feels like one of the few places where kindness and inclusion still exists.

Correct.

And apparently it bears repeating that Ukraine did not start this war.
