Itโ€™s weird thinking Glen A. Larson has a songwriting credit on a Doja Cat song.

Off. The. Fucking. Rails. Imagine if Obama said ANY of this at any time, let alone in front of military personnel.

Banned Books Week: Writers Recall the "Forbidden" Books of Their Youth | Third Coast Review Itโ€™s Banned Books Week, and while itโ€™s not a week to celebrate, per se, itโ€™s one to faithfully observe.

Honored to be asked by @mrdankelly.bsky.social to contribute my thoughts on "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" for @thirdcoastrvw.bsky.social's banned books article. Thank you Dan!

Thread.

When Enron collapsed, taking Arthur Andersen (then one of The Big Five accounting firms) with them the two big issues were:
1. Enronโ€™s corporate culture which was dependent on the value of their shares always going up.
And
2. Their Mark-to-Market bookkeeping system

Miami Beach, as we watch the Art Deco rainbow crosswalk demolished and destroyed, we must remember that our love and inclusivity is so much greater than this crosswalk, and while some of us might feel fear or despair, our pride cannot be bulldozed. It is much stronger than these cement bricks. ๐ŸŒˆ

Man (center) with his girlfriend (right) turns away from his girlfriend to stare at the backside of other woman (left) walking by in a variation of the distracted boyfriend meme. The girlfriend has a disgusted look on her face. Caption for the man reads: "Critical Establishment." Caption under the girlfriend reads: "Sinners." Caption under the other woman reads" "One Battle After Another."

As a retired US Navy vet, if you are ordered to invade US homes, break their doors, zip-tie kids? - and you do that? YOu should read up on Neuremberg because those are NOT lawful orders, and you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves. Your families shoulid be ashamed of you. Stand the fuck up.

There was a chatty young couple sitting behind @rpicado.bsky.social and me when we saw ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER last night. Whenever Sean Penn was onscreen, the young lady asked, "What's wrong with him? Why does he look like that?" I want her commentary track when they release the Blu-ray.
