OMG, David. We got a Toto Washlet in 2020 when there was a run on toilet paper which turns out was the best purchase ever. Instead of wiping your tush with TP, you wash with a warm stream of water, then dry with warm air. And did I mention an always warm toilet seat? It's the BEST.

All of these goons look like amateurs that were recruited from their local bar.

No, my point is that some folks are singularly focused on Israel when there are other countries waging pointless wars harming innocent populations.

OMG, right? This scene...

So you'd spit on these young women who were slaughtered by Hamas on 10/7? What about the grandparents burned to death in their homes? Kids who watched their mom and dad killed in front of them? All good because they were Israeli?

They were Israel's 'eyes on the border' - but their Hamas warnings went unheard

A unit of young female soldiers warned of a big attack. They were among the first Hamas killed on 7 October.

I bet @awalkerinla.bsky.social and others will remember that Diane Keaton was deeply involved in the effort to save The Ambassador Hotel. She loved old LA as much as all of us and used her star power for good. May her memory be a blessing.

"We’ve treated old buildings like we once treated plastic shopping bags -- we haven’t reused them, and when we’ve finished with them, we’ve tossed them out. This has to stop. Preservation must stand alongside conservation as an equal force in the sustainability game. More older and historic buildings have to be protected from demolition, not only because it affects our pocketbooks but more important because it threatens our environment. Let’s face it, our free ride at the expense of the planet is over.

I’ll never understand why architecture is considered a second cousin to painting and film. We’ve never been married to our romance with architecture. A building, unlike a canvas or a DVD, is a massive work of art with many diverse uses. We watch movies in buildings. We look at paintings on their walls. We pray in cathedrals. We live inside places we call homes. Home gives us faith in the belief of a well-lived life. When we tear down a building, we are wiping out lessons for the future. If we think of it that way, we will begin to understand the emotional impact of wasting the energy and resources used to build it in the first place."

You do you, but we're talking about Diane Keaton, not Woody Allen. Also, she just died, maybe give some grace to those of mourning her death?

And Baby Boom, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, The Family Stone, and Father of the Bride. She infused every role with her inimitable quirkiness making them more real, more human.

Me too! I can't imagine anyone else in that role.

Jesus. It was a piece in the MMWR in 1981 that alerted doctors around the country to a strange pneumonia occurring in gay men in LA. The beginning of the AIDS epidemic. This is just awful.

So no evidence that the players who are being booed at are "war criminals"? Somehow Israeli soldiers are held to a different standard than any other military on the planet. I'm just not getting the logic.

The Family Stone is always a tearjerker, but it's going to be unbearable this year.

LOVE Baby Boom. The leg shaking under the table. Falling in love with the Sam Shepard? "I'm back!" So 80's. So perfect.

Where's your evidence that *any* of the soccer players are war criminals? Maybe I missed that part of the story (honestly)?

And Baby Boom, The Family Stone, even Father of the Bride. This is just so sad. Gone too soon.
