So. My partner suffered an accident that resulted in very significant injuries. While he is, thank christ, alright in the broadest sense, I am now an amateur RN/dog minder/kid chauffeur, so! I've restocked some prints to help keep us in pizza and pain meds.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

I rewatched MISSING when it screened in LA last year and I think that's a film people should revisit now.

A childhood classic that reminds me of my mom, who introduced me to the movie with a homemade vhs made during an HBO free-preview weekend.
40 years ago today F/X was released in theaters. It’s one of the great underrated action thrillers of the 80s; sizzling with a smoky neo noir aesthetic, quirky special effects gags and the genius pairing of Bryan Brown and Brian Dennehy at the center of the action.

As a child in school I never could have imagined that as an adult hearing “the vice presence of the united states got booed at the Olympics” my reaction would be an Eriq-Lasalle-in-the-ER-opening-credits fist pump

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!

Also just further confirmation that David Blaine is a creep
Oh fun. I recently learned my name appears in the Epstein files because, in 2013, David Blaine requested house seats to my first Off-Broadway show for Woody Allen and a guest who turned out to be Jeffrey Epstein. Deeply ironic considering the name of that show: NOTHING TO HIDE.

Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.

1. It was not an accident.

3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
