I saw Tom Stoppard once on the street and quickly explained who I was (he was friends with our Mom and our great aunt Margie) and he was lovely, and sent off a note to my mom telling her how charming I was. This story is to prove how KIND he was. And probs a good liar. LOL) @djrothkopf.bsky.social
Remembering the many kindnesses, humor and warmth Tom Stoppard offered my family and especially my Mom. And of course, his unique brilliance and courage as a playwright and screenwriter. A great loss.

The past decade has seen grave threats and unmistakable decline. But the past few days and weeks reveal that we have entered in a new and more perilous chapter here in the U.S. It must be a call to a new kind of action. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...
We Have Descended into Utter Madness
A new sense of urgency is needed. Our national crisis has grown much more acute.

What am I making for Thanksgiving dessert? This recipe of mine from a few years ago. Even if you don't want to bother making a cheesecake, the apple cider caramel over some ice cream would make a VERY FINE dessert.

That happens to have a lemony cheesecake on the side

i’m sure someone else has already put this together but fucking wild he called for members of congress to be hanged the same day the coast guard said a noose is no longer a hate symbol

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

So, apparently, to our president, upholding your oath and calling for the military to support and obey the Constitution is...seditious behavior. But calling for members of Congress (who are also honored veterans) to be hanged because they are honoring the Constitution is...just fine.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Quiet, piggy.
Trump: "This has been according to those that seem to say it, and I would never say a thing like that because I want to be very modest. I always want to be modest, as modest as I can. They say this has been the best 9 month that any president has ever had." (Note the laughter from the crowd.)
