Yes. The idea becomes make them unanimously vote to support a manifestly unfit, and very possibly criminal man-baby. Cause them them wear it, own him.

I know! I know! The Vikings will be TERRIBLE.

The List Keepers The AIDS crisis shattered Broadway, and the scope of the loss has never been fully accounted for. Some kept their own records.

For World AIDS Day, which is Dec. 1 and which is being ignored by the Trump administration because they dislike the World Health Organization, other countries, science, and queer people, I'm reposting a piece I wrote earlier this year. (They also hate history.) www.vulture.com/article/hiv-...

‘Season of meh’ has truth and bite, but it is surely in decent part a byproduct of parity and injuries, no?

Maybe some very brave reporter will ask Leavitt why she previously said reports of a 2nd strike were flatly untrue?

The buck stops nowhere NEAR Trump and Hegseth.

Get rid of Hegseth and Patel would not do a whole lot to address a corrupt, incompetent Trump admin, especially as we don’t know who’d follow them…

… but it would still be a Very Good Thing.

Nice

My own angle has long been how (profoundly) personal and idiosyncratic the creative process is. How it can be this, or YEARS of brooding, false starts...

Agree. Early morning noodling in a cold room (part of the yawn!) and then … it is a video of the moment of creation. Kind of (not to pun) electrifying.

I named my fists Crime and Punishment because Obviously!

On this day 70 years ago Rosa Parks demonstrated the kind of courage and integrity, in refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in Montgomery, that MAGA leaders and followers can’t fathom — which is why they fear it.

We can’t *demand* courage, but we can honour it.

Saw an exhibition of Parks’s photography at the National Gallery last fall and it ws outstanding. Work of artistic and social importance.

OU has abandoned any sense iof its mandate as a teaching institute. This is appalling.

One of the great griefs of the day in the US is that Noem’s deranged, violent, racist ‘reality’ impinges now on everyone else’s.

It’s Sunday? OMG!

Would it be considered rude to say Markwayne Mullin is a dishonest asshole?

“I say hardly any of those clever things that are attributed to me. I wouldn’t have time to earn a living if I said all those things.”

Your yearly reminder that it’s almost time to prepare the prune Krampus

world's first direct quantum observation of a bench

Oh, that's where I know him from

‘Oh, gods,’ as one says.

Also, if it is their party can they cry if they want to?

Gosh!

OMG. Churchill AND Mark Twain both born on this day. What IS it with November 30th and good lines?

Every pithy quote ever uttered or penned is from these two men and Oscar Wilde!

Basically they are currently saying fuck you to the country and its laws.

Perfect Days, shot in Tokyo by 78 year old Wim Wenders, really has a valedictory feel. It is deeply moving. And the last shots, close on Koji Yakusho‘s face, with such a range of emotions shown, are astonishing. He won Best Actor at Cannes for this performance. Richly deserved.

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:

His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

The immortal Harold Comedy!

Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...
