NEW: As a congressman, Pete Hoekstra once testified that tariffs were bad for business.
But as Trump's ambassador to Canada, he now champions the trade policies that are being linked to job losses in his former Michigan district.

I checked out my Abandoned Video Store Wrapped where they showed me a montage of all the times I ended up in there, wandering the labyrinthine shelves, trying to find my way out. Here and there, I played moldy VHS tapes, watching people in Jeremy masks acting out mundane scenes of my life.

As ever, always read Cynthia Littleton, who has a great peek at what the WBD board was thinking when it picked Netflix. And yes, they did think about AOL Time Warner-- and, if you read between the lines I think, the possiblity of an AI bubble bursting in a few years. variety.com/2025/film/co...

"I return to Gillian Armstrong's LITTLE WOMEN again and again to remind myself that the deep joy of home has made the pain worthwhile—that, indeed, the pain may have some share in the pleasure itself."
Little Women (1994): Home Is Where The Hurt Is
