Totally agree. She was a trailblazer: never married, adopted kids at 50, didn't go the botox/silicone route, dressed they way she wanted, and made some great movies. I was shocked to find her in The Godfather! But it proved her range to be endless, her talent big.

I wrote a book about January 6, 2021.

Want to know when the Trump administration began its systematized lying about antifa and the FBI being behind MAGAs' attack on the Capitol?

January 6, 2021.

Rudy Giuliani had a suite at the Willard Hotel that was the command center for broadcasting that lie.

After 10 long days, the hearing challenging Texas' gerrymandering ended. By the end, all of legacy media had vanished. But Democracy Docket stayed to keep you informed about just how far Republicans went to manipulate the state’s maps.

Tonight, in honor of Diane Keaton, I'm watching one of her films I haven't seen: Because I Said So, free on TubiTV.

What's your favorite Diane film?
