Spent the evening with some friends, and we watched Palm Springs together. We all liked it. Time loop romantic comedy.

Now I’m watching and pausing to fact check. He did die of lung cancer.

Also, I had never heard of Ed Gein before this show and wish I never had. Parker knew of him because he knew, of course, that he inspired Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs.

I’m on the last episode, which had a great reveal, almost too great, so I googled it. Totally made up.

Did Ed Gein Really Help Catch Ted Bundy, Like In The Netflix Show? In Monster: The Ed Gein Story on Netflix, it's said that Gein gave the FBI information to catch Ted Bundy. Did that actually happen?

Contains spoilers for the new season of Monster on Netflix

If you’re binging the new season of Monster, which is all about Ed Gein, just know that it takes *a lot* of liberties.

New episodes of Abbott Elementary?! What a great way to spend an evening!

Journalist and Dopesick author Beth Macy has a new memoir out I want to read. She went to college on a Pell grant. How cruel they are to take away Pell grants from the poor.

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Stephen Miller Lays Out the Plan in Public The White House aide equates opposition to Trump’s agenda with terrorism—and pushes for the use of state power to suppress it.

Stephen Miller is portraying opposition to Donald Trump in any form, including by judges issuing legal rulings, as an illegal rebellion, Jonathan Chait argues:

Never believe what ICE says.

Never believe what this administration says.

Larry Ellison:
—Second‑richest man on Earth
—Gave $16.6 million to Friends of the IDF
—Hosted Netanyahu on his private island
—Trump plan makes him co-own TikTok
—Son, David, just spent $150 million to buy The Free Press & make Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS
—Wants Warner Bros (CNN, HBO)

Cannot recommend highly enough watching all of Dr. Jane Goodall’s last words on Netflix. I know the clip of her saying that Musk and Trump should be blown away into space has gone viral but you really should see the whole thing. About an hour long. What a decent human being.

Wow, what a clever movie, The Last Stop in Yuma County is! We saw it on Paramount+ but it premiered at Fantastic Fest in 2023. I didn’t go that year. 😕 thanks to my friend, Steve, for recommending it. It wasn’t on my radar.

Been listening to Bon Iver’s latest album this afternoon. Beautiful as always.

enter the mysterious Denisovans. Sequel: they have a hyprid baby. Our DNA is still 1-4% Neanderthal. You’re welcome, Hollywood!

From the Fauxmoi community on Reddit: Kate McKinnon shows off her knowledge of animals on Hot Ones Explore this post and more from the Fauxmoi community

Kate McKinnon should write a romantic comedy (or a horror movie) about the relationship between a Neanderthal and a homo sapien. Neanderthals had much more prominent eyebrows so that could be one of the reasons for attraction. Plot twist:

Loving Patricia Lockwood’s latest, Will There Ever Be Another You. I’m on page 100. Wins for best cover too. If you’re new to Patricia Lockwood, I recommend starting with her memoir, Priestdaddy. You’ll enjoy this more if you do.

They love fading to black and really holding it on Alien: Earth. Each time I would think it was the end of the episode, and then there would be a nice surprise: more Alien!

Alien: Earth is a hell of a show. We subscribed to Hulu and Disney+ again after Sinclair caved. I probably wouldn’t have watched it on my own but it was great fun to watch with Parker who told me all sorts of interesting facts about the Alien universe and the history of the Alien franchise.

Black Rabbit is so good. Starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman as two brothers.

The new season of English Teacher is so amazing! I just finished episode six and feel sad I only have two more.

Highly recommend Robert Reich’s new book, Coming Up Short: A Memoir of My America. I listened to the audiobook using a libro.fm credit.

Does anyone care who what Jeffries thinks about the NYC mayoral election? He needs to step aside. He is not the man or woman for this moment.

I don’t want to hear anything else about what we should or shouldn’t be putting in our bodies (Tylenol, artificial sweeteners, sugar, or fat) until something is done about the BULLETS being put into bodies
