Trump is asking us to start choosing groups we're willing to abandon, and the only way to make him stop is to be clear we're not fucking abandoning ANYONE.

Call your reps. Call your fucking reps. Especially in red states. Use the @5calls.org app, it's easy and free.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

“I waited for Quint’s anecdote
Then started to destroy his boat
He tried to surface me with barrel floats.
Don’t know why Quint’s in my throat. Don’t know why Quint’s in my throat.”

Good news! Anna Drezen’s cult romp “Praise Petey” is now available to stream on Prime Video! It was such a fun show to work on with so many talented folks, plus Al*x J*nes had a meltdown over it and called us all warlocks or something which was frankly better than an Emmy nomination. Go watch!

Did y’all know that in 1978 there was an ABC tv movie called “The Initiation of Sarah” in which a college sorority pledge discovers she’s a witch thanks to her evil house mother played by Shelley Winters and then this happens to Morgan Fairchild?

Today’s Spooky Sunday pairing is a very easy Chocolate Cobbler recipe and an achingly frightening haunted house film, 1980’s “The Changeling.”

Spooky Sunday: The Changeling (1980) & Chocolate Cobbler

What do a haunted house classic and this comforting dessert have in common? They're both hiding something.
