I used to be able to keep these DAILY MEMOs to under 3 minutes, the last couple videos have been impossible to. ICE is escalating in Los Angeles, just look at the article version with every incident highlighted. This is only what we could confirm, only what we know of. @lataco.bsky.social

Former Cubs pitcher Lee Smith on why he always walked so slowly out of the bullpen when he was called - he heard the grounds crew got time and a half of the game stretched past 4:30 pm.

@kvanaren.bsky.social Kathryn, as the only knowledgable person I know, would you get a Yoto Mini or Toniebox for a 3 year old? Or is it better to just wait until they're older and can definitely do the Yoto?

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

Getting up there and unleashing a joke-free 30-minute story during which you nearly cry several times talking about how Kevin Hart wanted to host the Oscars, and almost did, but didn't, because they took it from him—in Riyadh. Laughter truly is the universal language.

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Pope Leo XIV
Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal

I reject this whole heartedly. What you fail to see Mr Pope, the Bible says

Every time the subject of Jimmy Fallon’s spinelessness comes up, I think of this passage from Tina Fey’s Bossypants

66 Amy Poehler was new to SNL and we were all crowded into the seventeenth-floor writers' room, waiting for the Wednesday night read-through to start.
[...] Amy was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can't remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and
"unladylike"
Jimmy Fallon [...] turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, "Stop that!
It's not cute! I don't like it." Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. "I don't fucking care if you like it." Jimmy was visibly startled. Amy went right back to enjoying her ridiculous bit.
With that exchange, a cosmic shift took place. Amy made it clear that she wasn't there to be cute. She wasn't there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys' scenes.
She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not fucking care if you like it.

Tina Fey, Bossypants

Hi! We've made the Put This In Your Ear Object. It is the ideal size and shape to put in your ear, feels really nice when you put it in your ear, and can be used to clean out earwax, by putting it in your ear. Just one thing, though. Under NO circumstances should you put this in your ear.

Need a friend who loves me just like this

A picture of David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult posing against a car for the promotions of Superman.

by Nicholas Hoult

"I've learned so much from David Corenswet—as an actor, as a father, and from the time we took a lie detector test together. He has this rare ability to be completely present with the people around him and to truly understand them. His awareness and caring make him both a brilliant actor and a natural leader. He's curious, intelligent, and firm when it comes to what's right. I think my fondest memory of David is of seeing him on set, Superman cape still on, pushing his daughter in a stroller in circles as she slept. In the middle of this massive film and moment for his career, he was just off being a great dad. It also doesn't hurt that he's an absolute hunk with a grip strength of 170 lb. who can quote Eddie Izzard verbatim with a faux British accent, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of theater and musicals. I once caught him counting the seats to the exit on a flight, preparing for the worst, but he's who you'd want around if it all went wrong. That's just David, and that's why we all love him so goddamn much."
