Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

If you can talk and act as if this government is legitimate, and if you can discuss Donald Trump without expressing mockery or revulsion, the American news media has employment opportunities for you! No leftists, satirists or thinkers wanted, thank you.

The scene is the Ormond Hotel saloon and concert room in Dublin. A smoking concert was an informal musical evening for men, who would typically smoke during the performance.

Henrietta (Elaine May) sitting while holding her purse and looking dumbfounded, is sitting on the left. On the right is her dishonest husband Henry (Walter Matthau).

A New Leaf (1971)
Elaine May's tart comedy tells of an arrogant rich guy (Walter Matthau) who finds out he's broke and seeks a wealthy woman to marry. He finds a timid klutz of an heiress (May), who falls into his trap. A showcase for Matthau's comic brilliance. Very cynical. I laughed helplessly.

He looked towards the saloon door.
—I see you have moved the piano.
—The tuner was in today, miss Douce replied, tuning it for the smoking concert and I never heard such an exquisite player.
—Is that a fact?

I recently watched Mrs. Soffel (1984), a Gillian Armstrong film about a real case from 1901, and I think Keaton gives one of her better performances. Mel Gibson is the co-star, and he hadn’t started sucking yet. Check it out.

You’re too late. Portland has burned down, so go away.

I wish MSNBC would realize the value of Trump calling them sick and worse than CNN. They should lead with that in their promos. But the marketing people are clueless cowards and won’t do it.

ICE are guys that were too chicken to join the military and fight in Iraq/Afghanistan and cosplay their fantasy of being a man by terrorizing innocent people and children.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

The choice is between private wealth or shared dignity. Fascism is no answer to any of this.

We must demand governments that work in our common interest rather than to benefit a few.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Israel’s new “agreement” with Hamas isn’t a peace deal, it’s a tactical pause. Troops remain inside Gaza, “repositioned,” not withdrawn. Netanyahu says they’ll still “act against threats.” Hostages will return to Israel, but peace isn’t next. It’s waterfront property for Trump.

This is very encouraging.

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

A grab bag, yet always bullshit, no variety.

Huh. A Qatari Air Force facility in Idaho….such a grab bag bullshit day after day.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

At least we no longer have to hear about freedom being in Americans' DNA or whatever. Turns out we love to eat shit and bow to some bloated halfwit like any other people throughout history

AMERICA FIRST to give Argentina $20 billion and Qatar an airbase.

All Things Collusion, today on National Vichy Radio, features a story on red state governors who are cheerfully welcoming troops into their cities.

She dimly remembered Aristotle’s rules for tragedy and applied it to short stories?

Brain Worm is on the team just to remind everyone they don’t give a fuck about your survival. “Die and make more room for us” is the motto.

Fetterman’s belief that the state of Israel is sacred & holy and can do no wrong is stronger than any possible loyalty he might feel to our country.

In respect of men, there was the pity, you should have seen them lay out their tongues like hares that have been run six hours. Many did throw themselves into the wells. Others entered within a cow’s belly to be in the shade; those Homer calls Alibants.

Master of the House (Carl Dreyer, 1925).

Artwork for the poster of Carl Dreyer's Master of the House (1925). We see the face of old Mads (Mathilde Nielsen), the wise servant, looking at us with a slight smile, glasses sliding down her nose. Below, contained in a heart shape, are the unhappy couple she works for: Viktor (Johannes Meyer) on the left facing Ida (Astrid Holm). Then the Danish title: Du Skal Aere Din Hustru, and a list of the cast members below.
