For some reason, finding myself wishing that The Roepers spin-off had involved them moving in/near The White House. Like, Mr. Roeper became the vice-president? I know Maude ended in that direction with her becoming a congressperson.

As has been noted countless time - IF this was True, by this logic, then Fred Trump and Mary Trump would not have been citizens. And neither would ol' OrangeHead neither. (And illegal for him to be President.) And.. Melania would not have got papers via Tp, and Baron would not be a citizen.

Hard to know if any activism could cause a pivot in policy nowadays - but i kinda want some org to create some ongoing spots of mourning, Some Wailing Walls, in NYC, in SF, in DC... so that there can be a constant flow of cries and tears till US pulls funding, + Bibi's right-wing fascists relent.

As much as i hate influencer-style explainer videos - the recorded dialogue between reporters is a form that pre-dates tik-tok significantly - And because the journalists' job and lives are collecting and making sense of facts, and multi-sourcing perspectives - they can be useful. Link in comment

Neither to be mistaken for "Four Seasons Lodge" the indie documentary, which streams on Amazon. // Can't recall if the Alda movie was terrific - but seem to recall it was at least pretty good.

So - very interesting op ed here - It is a little bit wrong, in that some human farmers in the U.S. have already gotten bird flu (my guess is that the op-ed writer penned this months before it got published.). Anyhow - links to both below.

Started The Tape Journals of David Wojnarowicz "Weight of the Earth" [Semiotext(e), MIT Press] Read and seen and heard a bunch of his work before - I was always a bit wowed or in-awe-of him - but the first entry, March 1981? reading I'm like - He's someone I would have fallen in love with, had met.
