I’m on night shift all that weekend but I’m going. It’s too important to miss, so I’ll get up in the middle of my night to attend then go back to bed for a bit (unless I’m in jail I guess)

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

I got to meet one of my heroes @pauloffit.bsky.social at #AAP2025 and he gave a great talk which was somehow depressing and hopeful al at once.

John Roberts's "there's no such thing as corruption" and "the president has the right to use the DOJ as his personal law firm" jurisprudence is really working out well for us.

I have said for a long time that I think Donald Trump is so stupid that he might actually believe people seeking “Asylum” are people from mental institutions (“insane asylums” to him)

People on the left have been fired for less. He chuckled

Fox News: "Charlie said, 'There is no such thing as hate speech.'"

Trump: "He might not be saying that now."

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

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.

The Kimmel video: "The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

Are we North Korea now? Kimmel said nothing bad about Kirk, they are using this as an excuse to take him off the air. Getting rid of Colbert was first, now Kimmel. Who’s next?
The anti cancel culture, F your feelings crowd are turning out to be real snowflakes

My first memory of seeing Robert Redford was in “The Natural” when I was 12, and from then on I was I love 💕 I rented all of his movies they had at the video store and recorded them off the tv. Here he is in 3 days of the Condor, looking fine 😍
