Here’s my new litmus test:
Did you vote yes on the Big Beautiful Bill? If you did, I don’t care about your life, since you didn’t care about any of ours.

I started sleeping a tiny bit better After realizing this is what most leaders are doing.
Diplomacy, alas, often means treating fools as is they were not. But the very survival of a country can depend on this.

The battle to buy WBD, CNN's parent company, brings to mind what Hungary's PM Viktor Orban did. Taking control of the media was key to consolidating power. He did it in part by helping wealthy supporters acquire news outlets, ensuring favorable news coverage

Attention NYC: We made it past the earliest sunset of the year.
No, it's not on the solstice. That's the shortest day, but the earliest sunset is sooner and the latest sunrise is later.
So those of us who, like me, are primarily offended by early sunsets have officially survived rock bottom.

Mrs. Alfre Woodard was my acting teacher at an after school arts program in Tulsa, Ok. We all thought we were hot stuff having a bonafide star teaching the class. It was in the mid 80s.
The Last Frontier on Apple TV is soooo good.
I love Alfre Woodard as the villain. I can’t believe she’s 73!

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people?

Tennessee friends! Want some time off from work Tuesday?
If you didn’t early vote & Tuesday Dec 2 is your only chance, TN law requires employers to give a reasonable amount of time off to vote (3hrs).
Let’s do this for @aftynbehn.bsky.social!

Best choice (not original to me) is "Don't Stop Believing" ( @hooverstreetrag.org as I recall)
My sentimental choice is Neil Diamond - "America"
My funny choice is Creed - "Higher"

I will say I was extremely encouraged to get the whooping cough vaccine by the birth mother’s OB; my husband and my parents did too.
Unbelievable.
Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Good morning, Horror Fam.
We spoke on The Blob and its remake yesterday - how do we feel about Dawn of the Dead (1978) and its 2004 remake?
I'll be honest, I'm positive in both but I think the '78 is a classic. What's your favorite flavor of zombie movie?

Read this 2020 story by the Guardian and you'll understand why the focus on Epstein scares Trump so much. Trump is a sex predator with a history of appalling behavior toward teenage girls.
Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year
In the early 90s, Donald Trump judged contestants at the world’s biggest modelling competition - since hit by allegations of abuse. This is how the people who were there remember it
