Pete Hegseth is being investigated for war crimes?
I can’t believe that a war crime could be committed by someone with the extensive military leadership experience of being a bad weekend tabloid host.

Speaking of Tom Stoppard- he wrote a TV series for British tv called Parades End a while back- 10 years? That is worth seeing. Adapted from something- can’t remember! Anyway it stars Cumberbatch and is quite good.

Just watched Blue Moon. So good. Ethan Hawke and Andrew Scott are splendid. I love that Linklater made this. But then I love Linklater more all the time. Good stuff, especially for me as I live and breathe The Great American Songbook.

Having a toddler around is a trip. She’s hilarious and ridiculous. Moms and granddaughter went home today. In three weeks they, and NY kid will descend again for more silliness. It’s such a wacky series of things we do every year. Now we must acquire a tree. And put it in our house. Because wacky.

Oh! Tom Stoppard died! That's...well I was going to say terrible, but then, 88 is a reasonable age to achieve. Sigh. What's the point of any of this? Anyone know? Anyhow, RIP- I enjoyed R&D Are Dead, and Arcadia very much.

Amino acids were also found on the Ryugu asteroid and other metorites which have fallen to Earth
This lends credence to the theory of Panspermia, that building blocks of life are carried throughout the universe on stellar bodies

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. The President is a racist.
TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.
REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?
TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

World AIDS Day was cofounded by an American journalist--James Bunn, a San Francisco reporter who was the first person at a local TV station to make the AIDS crisis his beat, in 1983. An administration that did not loathe the press, history, and knowledge itself might have considered honoring that.

Wait...WHAT? This is disturbing.
Well now that's upsetting.
We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

A few years back (20?) our UU Fellowship back in NJ starting touting the idea of keeping the winter holidays low key and simple. I object. I am in favor of turning them way up with lots of lights and gifts and Major Silliness. Rage against the dying of the fucking light! I command you to SPARKLE!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow denizens of whatever this mess we're in now. I believe it used to be called the United States Of America. Today I am grateful for my family, friends, and candied sweet potatoes. Also, our health, dogs, cats, film, & Bruce Springsteen. Silly Season has officially begun!

This one's easy: I just tuned in, but I already know what I think about the shooter: fuck that asshole. I'm against civil war and anyone who wants to speed it up, knowingly or not. Fascists aren't. It's a real simple line. It's not centrism to say we're against killing. That's their idiot thing.
