Glamour model Frankie, working his angles 🐾

A handsome cat with tabby stripes on his back and forehead, a white front and a Christmas tree shaped splotch on his nose, sitting in an empty cupboard. He’s sitting tall with his hind legs casually sticking out to his side. His fur is plush and luxurious, and he’s staring into the camera with a blank expression. A true supermodel.

Watchid *I Saw The TV Glow* agayne, and was reminded just how powirful and ymportant that movye ys. Ther ys no filme quite lyke it yn the worlde. Heart-wrenchinge despayre and desperate hope all at once. There ys still tyme.

A still from the 2024 film *I Saw the TV Glow* depicts a suburban street covered with graffiti and the chalked message "There is Still Time."

This is hands down the best comms work I’ve seen from Chuck, probably ever.

It ain’t perfect, but I gotta give him big props here. Him and his team clearly are trying new things — and they’re making progress!

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.
