I’d love it if you gave my noir crime novel a try.
It’s got boxers, wrestlers, molls, gangsters, monster men, champs, jobbers, knockouts, chases, escapes, and, maybe, a touch of true love.
What else is there?

Today is my birthday, which I only mention because I’m officially in my 50s now, which doesn’t feel great, but I also feel…pretty much like I did in at least my 30s. Late 20s?
I also feel like I’m relatively well preserved.
I dunno. Happy birthday to me or whatever I guess.

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

STRANGE DAYS is an unacknowledged classic.
There’s nothing like the dopamine hit from the first time you recognize that Fatboy Slim sampled Angela Bassett’s line in STRANGE DAYS (1995) for “Right Here, Right Now”.

Ooooo, I know, let’s make The Wicked Witch of the West a put-upon victim who’s forced by everyone — including her asshole best friend — to be evil…but she’s not really evil.

As a professional journalist, I can tell you I would have told Trump he was out of line and owed my colleague an apology. I wouldn’t give a fuck about losing access, my job, or, frankly, my life.

Horses at the Fort Wilderness Tri-Circle D Ranch. Just looking at them is humbling, comforting, and puts some stuff in perspective.

Yep.
Paywalls are flawed, but reporting and editing and photography are full time jobs. Unless you have another monetization scheme in mind that works for the service newspapers provide, there isn’t a conversation

I have two from QUIZ SHOW. First, is the way Ralph Fiennes says “And I would” in this scene, which I think was written to be a mocking question but Fiennes says it like a confession. youtu.be/PRGPZ6a-iXk?...
