Tim Curry was a 20-something stage actor living in London in the seedy, sex-drenched 1970s when he auditioned for a new B-movie musical called “The Rocky Horror Show.” In a new interview, Curry discusses the cult classic, David Bowie, Studio 54, and more. http://nyer.cm/Z9RkgrI

One day, maybe not in my lifetime, the US will need a reckoning like this:

An excerpt from Wikipedia:

Vergangenheitsbewältigunglal (German:
[fee'gananhartsba,veltigun], transl. "struggle of overcoming the past" or "work of coping with the past")('' is a German compound noun describing the moral and political effort to confront the crimes of the past. Since the late 20th century, this concept has played a central role in examining how post-1945 German literature, society and culture reflect on the catastrophic legacy of Nazism, a
regime marked by militarism, expansionism and genocide. In Germany, the term arose from a profound reckoning with the atrocities of the Holocaust, the war crimes of the Wehrmacht and the ideological terror inflicted in the name of the German people. Vergangenheitsbewältigung thus represents not just historical reflection but a rejection of Nazi ideology and an effort to build a future grounded in peace and accountability.

Go ahead, Kristi and Tom, get the suburban soccer moms pissed off at you. Fuck with the weekend schedule that requires them aggregating from four different apps and six different text groups to coordinate. See how that goes.

New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today’s youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

After seeing countless Stolperstein in Berlin and being distraught at how many there were, and now seeing the equivalent happen here, is something my brain simply is having difficulty processing 😣

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Going to follow the same pattern as game four and not turn on the Cubs until they have a lead. If they never lead, then I guess I’ve saved a little heartbreak ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

The Wet Chicken Award goes to Marina Mabrey.

Holy Salmonella, Batman! Marina's cooking videos are an adventure in mayhem, especially when it comes to chicken preparation. On the court, she's occasionally in her bag, but in the kitchen she's in her literal spice bag. Grab your paper towels.
