I thought I wanted to be President, but it turns out I just really like an Aaron Sorkin walk-n-talk. Script Sup (871), ADHD, Auntie, possibly three raccoons in a trench coat.
But the digital fern forest in Wake Up Dead Man SUCKS. It looks uncanny, and theres a big windstorm and their hair isnt moving at all.
Maybe i only noticed cause im a script supervisor who shot a forest scene on a volume this summer, but still. It was distracting.

Going to host a Book Club in 2026 but instead of reading one book a month we’ll just be reading one book. And we read it together, at the meeting, and then talk about the section we just read.
Cause i am BUSY, but i want people to talk about books with me and to have actually read them.

I have really enjoyed seeing Michelle Obama ditch the Appropriate Political Lady haircut and dresses, and lean into her truly stunning style. Her styling has been so gorgeous these last few years.

Very cool to see how Zelda is helping my nephew turn on his problem solving brain. He spent like 10 minutes herding goats and was so proud when he got them all in the barn!

I got an invite to a thing id like to attend but the person used AI to make the invite instead of spending a couple hours being creative on photoshop like they used to do and it makes me sad but also kinda underscores the reasons i’m no longer very close with this person. It came down to respect.

My health insurance is going from $67/month to $270/month.
My car insurance tripled (my own damn fault, but I expected it to only double)
My groceries cost 40% more.
I make the same wage as I did in 2021.
This is great. I feel great about it. Its all so fucking great.

Louisiana paroled nine prisoners to deport them.
We found that at least two have been deported, while two others are being held at a new immigration detention facility.
But neither ICE nor the Landry admin would answer questions about the other five.

Louisiana Made It Nearly Impossible to Get Parole. Now It’s Releasing Prisoners to Deport Them.
Gov. Jeff Landry eliminated parole for prisoners arrested after Aug. 1, 2024, and tightened eligibility rules for those already in prison. Then he set all of that aside for one group: undocumented imm...

Posse Comitatus is such a great episode.
And also, Posse Comitatus is a federal law enacted in 1878 prohibiting the use of the military in domestic law enforcement.
Has nobody in the republican party watched The West Wing?!

The good news:
1) Aftyn Behn moved a ruby red district 12 points more blue.
2) She can and should run again in the midterm election.
3) With real investment and good candidates, every R+ 7 or less seat is now in play.
The bad news:
Rural white voters are still the absolute worst.

All my favorite small businesses in walking distance from my house closed within 6 months of Trump’s stupid tariffs because they couldn’t absorb the 100% increase in prices, their supply chains collapsed, and they had to cut and run.
Shame on the GOP for pretending to support small business.
