I thought about Diane Keaton a lot this year, sorry to see her go.
For the podcast I had a great conversation recently with @jmritchey.bsky.social on the prickly LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR, recently rescued from decades of music licensing hell by Vinegar Syndrome

She's had videos like this going since earlier this year. Saw them in Seattle and they're dystopian as fuck.

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

Feeling pretty destroyed inside seeing Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie in theatres before One Battle After Another. I've failed you all.

Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

I apparently made this photoshop 8 years ago. Why? I have no idea.

The famous image of Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald except Oswald has been replaced by a Porg from The Last Jedi. Yeah. I don't know why.

Thankful for it in any event!

I too recently unearthed a photoshop I made some years ago for reasons unknown.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Because living in Toronto has forced me to think about baseball and root for the Blue Jays again, I’m reminded of the team’s absolutely dogshit logo form the early 2000s. Good lord:

Israel is now saying the ceasefire will take effect "within 24 hours" as opposed to 10am today as initially planned. So yeah, just announced a delay for no reason and started shooting people trying to go home who thought there was a ceasefire in effect. www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n...

BREAKING: Israeli tanks fired directly at civilians on Al-Rashid Street while the latter were trying to return to northern Gaza, shortly after the ceasefire agreement had supposedly taken effect.
