The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

RE: TEXAS GERRYMANDERING HEARINGS--WTF IS WITH THE LEGACY MEDIA & ITS INABILITY TO DO ITS JOB?

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

Domestic violence and America’s gun violence crisis go hand-in-hand.

Joyce White Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 2d

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES?
"...career federal prosecutors in Virginia found little evidence to indicate Ms. James knowingly misled banks or was dishonest in her loan paperwork, according to people familiar with the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity." NYT(JE Bromwich) 10/9
