photo of Pam Bondi testifying in the foreground as a group of 7 women and 1 men raise their hands

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Spielberg and PTA. Colbert and Loy. I can totally see it!

Wait, Karoline Leavitt is 28 years old? Bless her fucking heart.

Something that makes it even more ridiculous is my dad has hearing loss and refuses to wear his hearing aids anyway, so he can’t understand English most of the time. 🤪

I’ve been in a vacuum where I really really didn’t realize how many people could be so upset that an entertainer performed in Spanish. It’s wild, y’all.

Note: many people in this instance are/is my dad 😩

Middle-aged man with mustache vainly flexing right bicep in hotel gym mirror

Objectively more complementary lighting in above mentioned hotel gym for bicep, vanity, attention, etc.

Hotel gym selfie, does this count as bicep, little b? 👴🏻

The dollars we are going to have to spend to rename all the things once this is over—

Those Soloflex commercials got me, yall. youtu.be/hkqIVQqNsVY

I was like, “sometimes you’re better off ****” is actually a killer opening. Oops!

Nevermind the jobs you had.

I’ve now been on two recent SEPTA trains that were cancelled. Good times!

Morning long run map in Philadelphia from East Falls across the Schuylkill River, down MLK Drive, looping back up Kelly Drive for a 9.55 mile run.

Boathouse Row across a frozen Schuylkill River and under mostly clear skies in Philadelphia.

9.5 miles this cold and sunny Schuylkill River morning. One beautiful thing about being in my 50s is IDGAF that I didn’t make it 10 miles. 😉

The wrong Home Alone 2 actor died.

Peter Hujar’s Day is basically me one glass into a margarita pitcher and my poor husband is Rebecca Hall and this is all complimentary. #CriterionChannel

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

I 💚 Philadelphia

The Locket (1946) A dark personal secret drives a young woman to use every man she encounters.

I was multitasking during the TCM Eddie Muller intro (sorry y’all!) but the way I dropped what I was doing when he mentioned Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine desiring the lead. #NoirAlley

Can Joachim Trier just soundtrack my entire existence, thank you

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

Trump has increased his personal wealth by over $1 BILLION since becoming president, but SCOTUS has declared our very special boy can’t be investigated.

Not too long ago, that speech may have sounded impossibly mawkish, even naive. These days, not so much.

And the great Robert Ryan’s deep chestnut eyes are an unwavering abyss of instability and cruelty:

A ★★★★ diary entry for Crossfire (1947)

“Hating is always the same, always senseless. One day it kills Irish Catholics, the next day Jews, the next day Protestants, the next day Quakers. It's hard to stop. It can end up killing men who wear striped neckties. Or people from Tennessee.”

Also, Sentimental Value, the best film of 2025, seems strong thus far with the Elle Fanning nomination. #OscarNominations

Delroy Lindo in at Supporting Actor! That’s wonderful.

Trump wants Greenland because it’s the largest and it’s always been biggest is best with him, like, it’s not even more complicated than this. Whether it’s a hotel, wall, bill, attendance, the size is the only way he can comprehend worth.
