If you’re looking for someone with a similar loose-limbed eccentricity and casual poignance to Diane Keaton, you might want to listen to Syd’s first two albums

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

RIP Diane Keaton- such sad news, what an incredible talent. You probably didn't know she collected clown paintings by amateur artists, eventually publishing an entire book devoted to them

Certain celebrity deaths are harder to process than others because the person in question was so full of life and creativity and originality that you just assume it's never going to end.

"She is the dream actress that every director should have." —Gillian Armstrong

Rest in peace to the great Diane Keaton, fearless and unique, a dream actress indeed. 📷 Norman Seeff, Los Angeles, 1975

Black and white shot of Diane Keaton in a tank top with her hands behind her head. I like this photo for its simplicity; you can feel her personality.

Rest easy, Diane Keaton. Her work in Goodbar is some of the most amazing and fearless I've ever seen from an actor.

Jessica Ritchey @jmritchey.bsky.social · Jan 4

Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977). Seen in a non muddy YT rip it some how becomes even more sordid and searing, a reeking of Charlie and Newports time capsule that's also the bleeding misogyny of right now. Fantastic cast, bleak as three am coffee.

Image from Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Diane Keaton is picturing herself as a sex worker.

I swear that 3/4 of the reason I live in NYC as an adult is Annie Hall. I had the poster on my wall. I saw Reds in the theater probably 5 times the year it came out and owned the soundtrack. Diane Keaton was my dream alter ego as a teen.

Gremliny Nussboo @emilynussbaum.bsky.social · 2h

Oh man, I loved Diane Keaton— Annie Hall had such a huge influence on me as a teen, everything about her style & her energy, the clothes she wore & the way she talked! She just felt like such a model of New York City intellectual life, jittery & adventurous & original

@JennyENicholson

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

When I’m on my British folk cow manure, I sometimes find an album and think “I’m surprised my parents didn’t have that”

My parents grew up in Amelia Earhart’s final hometown

I am really surprised they didn’t have this one
