One of these people is a cunning and heartless Imperial Officer hellbent on imposing the Empire's evil agenda on the galaxy.

The other is Andor's Dedra Meero, played by the incredibly talented and humane Denise Gough

When I lived in New Haven I loved being part of the Run for Refugees on Super Bowl day. Fundraising for the race gives critical support to Connecticut's Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services as they support new arrivals through life's challenges. Pic here from 2018 w/ @blumenthal.senate.gov ✌🏻

Estás listo/a? Has aprendido español, como nos pidió Bad Bunny?

Are you ready? Have you learned Spanish, like Bad Bunny asked us to?

Here are some basic expressions that should at least get you to the halftime show... (1/2)

In this American ice age, every abandoned shoe, every outstretched hand, every ‘cleared encampment’ carries whispers of voices absenced, disappeared, and silenced.

We must do better by them, for them, with them

As I looked past the tombstones to the north, with the still-active US Marines Corps’ Futenma airfield in the distance, I thought about the 80 Venezuelans killed by the United States last week, and how easily our government rationalizes their deaths.

Yesterday I visited Okinawa’s Kakazu Takadai Park (嘉数高台公園), a place where thousands of Japanese and American soldiers died in April 1945. There is still a “wall of bullet holes” (弾痕の塀), a reminder of the ferocity of the battles that killed 150,000 Okinawan civilians.

In this paradigm there are only 3 options for who you can be: someone who’s joining in the grabbing, someone who’s standing around watching, or someone who’s getting grabbed.

So while we remember January 6, 2021, we have to revive the rallying cry of Jan. 21, 2017, and get out there and grab back

The “Donroe Doctrine” is not complicated, and it’s not new. Whatever passes for international relations under Trump is driven by the same impulse as immigration, criminal justice, trade, and pretty much everything else:

Grab ‘em by the p*ssy

Hej, Danmark! 🇩🇰

I happened to be in Tokyo’s Daikanyama neighborhood today, where I had the chance to greet the Danish embassy, just a few days after Denmark handed over the gavel of the EU Presidency to Cypress.

“tRump builds concentration camps for 80,000 innocent U.S. residents while showing off marble armrests for Kennedy Center”

Do not treat his vanity projects as separate news items. The parades, the coins, the ballroom, the toy battleships—every wasteful indulgence to his insatiable ego…

I don't have much to add to this whole convo about radical left scum. But I would just offer:

It’s two days before Christmas, which makes it a great day for a No Kings ride around town here in San Jose.

We The People have just about made it through 2025, a year of enormous damage but also renewed hope. Do you still have your #NoKings signs, hats, shirts, spirit? Please share!

You know, just spending a relaxing Saturday as one does, chilling with cats, sipping a cup of coffee, and taking note of Donald Trump's name on Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs in March 1993, May 1994, & August 1995.

The 4 volumes of Epstein files that were released today by DOJ amount to a total of 2.997 GB.

So, in light of the FBI memo over the summer stating that there is "more than 300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence," that leaves at least 297.003 GB still being hidden.

I’m trying to figure out what mad king this cool downtown art piece by San Jose high school student Zoey Crisan reminds me of.

Standing with a crown on, making faces in front of a funhouse mirror, totally immersed in his own image, with his back turned on Ukraine and the rest of the world? Hmm…

Amidst so much chaos everywhere, I felt privileged and happy to have joined the Honolulu Marathon today. 31 years ago, after having disc surgery and giving up running, I never thought I would be among the 42,000 participants who ran, walked, and (like me) shuffled and staggered 26.2 miles

This Christmas, downsizing is patriotic. Instead of 37 dolls for your daughter, as Dear Leader said at his rally a few days ago, "2 or 3 is nice."

And instead of that extravagant (=tariff$$$) dollhouse...choose a sensibly-sized #dollADU
