Hi Blue Sky.
After a prolonged absence, I'm returning to social media and to The Fight of Our Lives.

Fuck fascists and, most assuredly, fuck donald trump.

Let's roll.

Trump targeting foreigners is basically reverse Aliens Vs Predator.

Having made 4 of these in the past, and a hand in most all of them, I can honestly say this might just be the best one ever.

@pattonoswalt.bsky.social is at Helium Comedy Club tonight in Alpharetta GA. Some @tcmtv.bsky.social peeps and I are there, hoping he makes an arcane movie reference that’ll immediately age him and us.

Fascinating history I Never Knew about the collision of violent, deranged fanaticism and public service for the good of American governance and democracy

Watch it, if only to remember a president who made a difference in only 3 short months

If and when Trump or Hegseth gives the order to fire upon U.S. citizens, the military must remember their oaths are to our Constitution, not to these madmen.

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

It's profoundly different to cover a U.S. president than state or local officials, and too, much harder to vent publicly if you're female. But if in my reporting days, if anyone from a police sergeant to the mayor of Baltimore told me, "Quiet, piggy," I'd immediately insist he go fuck himself.

I cannot emphasize enough how much you really oughta to see this.

Incredibly timely and a welcome stirring of the American soul.
Well, this American's anyway...

That tracks.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

My friend Imogen Sara Smith wrote several times about Tatsuya Nakadai's unique qualities, such as here in 2020 at Bright Lights Film Journal. brightlightsfilm.com/japanese-cin...
