Like many, my Father & I are very concerned/worried & outraged.

To all my fellow wonderful friends: Again, in case you are in search of a good friend to talk to, you all are more than welcome to converse with me.

Curse the disgusting/putrid sleazebags known as Drumpf, M***rat & their ilk.

Give generously to your local @pbs.org station, @npr.org station and/or adoptastation.org

Public Broadcasting/Public Media is important and essential to everyone.

Public Broadcasting is essential & important to all generations. I grew up on Public Broadcasting and I still watch my local Public TV stations and listen to my regional Public Radio stations.

LEAVE Twitter already, folks. Get the fuck off there.
The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

Oscar information and websites should be organized by the year in which the awarded films were released, NOT the year the ceremony was held, and on this hill I will die.

The monopolies of the Gilded Age led Congress to establish the FTC as an independent agency.

Its independence is meant to insulate it from political pressure so it can check corporate power and protect the American people.

Trump wanting to upend this is very telling.

Just a reminder that there's a Will Shakespeare miniseries from the heyday of BBC historicals starring Tim Curry as Shakespeare and Ian McShane as Marlowe, and it's on youtube:

Thinking of all the times I heard “dvds are dead” while I continued to build my most epic collection.

And all the times I heard comic books are going digital, meantime I have a complete home library.

Collectors win again!
