"ICE needs to be able to concentrate on terrorizing and tear gassing OTHER people's children!"

He really is going to try to steal the midterms. Guess we'll see if the courts hold. 🀷

Democrats had a rare win carving out DHS funding. Now it's clear they shouldn't fund it at all.

Doubling down on terrorizing children.

Oh God. It's not scandalous it's just really really stupid.

When I was first looking to rent a room in LA 22 years ago I found a listing that said the available room had a huge broken TV inside of it, and giant pirate map painted on the wall.

Neither were allowed to be removed.

I like that my typo makes it sound like a caveman is concerned.

Today's NYT Crossword is very cute.

Because he has park experience & not as much entertainment experience, I hope Disney's still able to have a CEO that will make strong choices to help keep the studios thriving with new movies & shows. Times are hard in Hollywood. We shall see what the future holds. Whoever it is, I wish them success

If Thomas Massie really wanted to help the country he should step down.

I worked at Target for 5 years in the olden days. It felt like a good company then. Now it's pure garbage and I root for it to fail unless it turns things around.

My advice to anyone in LA trying to make it is: just be kind to everyone you meet. You never know who may help you later. Today's assistant is tomorrow's showrunner. If I have regrets it's that competition would cause me to be shitty at times, & it never paid off. Just be kind. Raise each other up.

Catherine O'Hara is one of those ones that takes much longer to process. Because she was just that good.

Ha ha. In Arizona we had a place called Chino Bandito and it was like orange chicken burritos.

I hope so many people in this administration go to jail.

The way we're violently arresting people, smearing immigrants and arresting people here legally only to hold them in massive warehouses just because they're not white, there are so many daily horrors happening we're all just letting it continue.

"Hook" and "Labyrinth" are probably in the same category for me. As an adult I can tell "Labyrinth" is not a GOOD film but I appreciate all the ideas.

I saw it as a child. It had several upsetting scenes, but it was very engaging and I watched it a bunch of times even though it scared me. Watching it later as an adult I find it very well done as a film. Probably just not for kids.

The "How Did This Get Made?" crew HATES "Return to Oz" which makes me sad. I love that nightmare fuel.

Lindsay is a talented writer and showrunner. If you're a studio finally realizing you need to make new shows to make more money, she would be a great asset to your team!

Then don't fund DHS at all.
