I've been working hard to clean things up (watched Stand By Me a couple months ago because that was the biggest one, I think).

Now (film nerd talking): Gone With The Wind, Pretty Woman, Wild At Heart, The Notebook, Brokeback Mountain, In The Mood For Love

How many people do I follow on social media? Exactly enough where every day I see a post about someone's beloved pet dying. It breaks my heart every time.

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · Sep 18

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.
