Clara Bow was born 121 years ago today, so I'm celebrating with this photograph. It's described as 'Clara Bow in the Mojave desert with cigarette and gun' which sounds like the opening of a movie. It's preserved by UNLV Universities Libraries, Special Collections and Archives.

It’s gonna make a lot of MAGA heads explodes, at least until he tells them that Biden’s auto-pen did it, not him.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Truth

Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor.
Time will tell on their power minds.
Making war just for fun,
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgment day comes...
- Ozzy Osbourne, "War Pigs"

A massive story in Canada is that damn near the entire country is turning on national God Wayne Gretzky because he refuses to stand up for Canadian sovereignty due to his desire to keep getting invites to Mar A Lago. An entire country choosing dignity over star-f*cking. We could take a lesson.

Terrific movie! I was lucky enough to interview director Walter Salles and actress Fernanda Torres about in December. Been telling everyone to watch since then!

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!

THIS IS A FUCKING OUTRAGE
