This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

🍓 October 9, 1985: Strawberry Fields, the section of Central Park near 72nd Street and Central Park West in New York City, was dedicated to the late John Lennon on his son Sean's 10th birthday and what would have been John's 45th.

Much appreciated! I highly reco watching the Hal Holbrook version, as there are so many outstanding performances, including my fave, Sada Thompson. Fun fact: Thompson made her stage debut in 1955 in an off-Broadway production of Under Milk Wood!

While the correlation between small-town America and the valleys of Wales may seem vast as the ocean that separates them, the connection is stronger than you might imagine.

I was today years old when I discovered that "Love and Marriage" was written for the 1955 NBC Producers Showcase television musical adaptation of Our Town.
What's the over-under that Michael Sheen will burst into song for the upcoming @welshnattheatre.bsky.social staging? Asking for a friend. 😆

I believe its translation is “on the mount of the Lord, it will be provided.”
The photoshoot was for Vera magazine in 2024 at the Jacobean-era Boston Manor House in Hounslow.

Old centres of industry like Port Talbot are struggling to retain jobs, while net zero businesses tend to be far more dispersed nationally, with many in London and the south-east. As the transition progresses, industrial towns will feel even more abandoned Nicholas Beuret wp.me/p8Mk4U-16u2

Eight years ago today, a shooter killed 60 people and injured 800 more at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas.

Armed with 13 rifles equipped with bump stocks, the shooter was able to fire more than 1,000 rounds in 11 minutes, devastating the nation and shattering hundreds of families.

If this deeply degrading, wasteful and dangerous stunt proved anything, it’s that the best thing Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace.

Immediately.

Ah! You want scientific proof on why Michael Sheen and David Tennant work so well together?

Please thank the researchers at UCLA and Dartmouth College that helped define a "neurological explanation for kinship."
