Saddened by Diane Keaton’s passing. She was one of my favorites. Annie Hall is my favorite movie.The ending gets me every time. Baby Boom is a family favorite…and hits as a daughter of single working mother. Plus I can relate to one of best and funny movie freak outs of all time. RIP to a real one.

They really think people are stupid….if you call it β€œreform” and not β€œcut” it will suddenly be different.

I can’t get over this dumpster fire UN assembly. Trump humiliates America in front of the world with that grotesque speech, throws a tantrum along with his lapdogs over a stopped escalator and has the President of France wondering the streets of New York because of his stupid motorcade.

This really resonates…I keep trying to understand why they are so
Unshameable in the face of abject hypocrisy and verifiable lies…to my total frustration. But this at least makes it make sense.

R.I.P. the First Amendment, Killed by Cowardice and Greed We will all mourn eventually. Even the long list of those who murdered our foundational freedom.

The assault on the first amendment has been akin to an old murder mystery in which would-be killers line up to deliver blows to the victim-Trump, his aides, the Congress, the courts, corporate media, university trustees, lawyers, ceos...it's a long list. www.thedailybeast.com/rip-the-firs...

I was waiting for a hawk to come eat one or for a car to hit one…but I get it now. Yeah, not my experience, but also I only have a 4% chance of getting a Nobel from the jump because of that pesky lady brain.

Brian Kilmeade’s forced hostage video-like apology where he says sorry for be too much himself is a far cry from what he deserves. The first video, where he would like to exterminate humans he finds inconvenient to look at or coexist with is who this fucker really is.

What is the meaning of a meatball recipe that says salt and pepper to taste. Really motherfucker. You want me to fry up a little tester. Can you just tell me what I am supposed to feel and think.

Pretty sure the guy advocating straight up murder won’t be fired like Matthew Dowd, but it is Fox and Friends, not MSNBC. I guess corporate sponsors selling home catheters are cool with murdering homeless people.

I’m absolutely horrified and disgusted at the murder of Charlie Kirk. This, after our beloved Dem Sen Melissa Hortman was murdered. Yes, I despised most of his positions on most things, but this America…he had the right to express them free from violence and persecution. Is it just open season now.

We can’t live in a free society if people are murdered for their political speech or ideology. As the saying goes, no matter how much I despise what you are saying, I’ll fight to death you’re right to say it.

I wonder if that will work better for my Finn. He learned he could just flip over the snuffle mat and spill all the treats/kibble on the floor without working too hard. Kermit rejects the mat entirely. I had to draw the line at breakfast in bed.

The media has to clear such a low bar that stating objective facts is now considered hard-hitting. Also, is Tom Homan stroking out or hitting the bottle with his morning bacon?
