I am not kidding when I say, I personally know 5 people who, if they had no conscience, could easily ascend the ranks of this right wing grift.

I would like to call attention to the word "conscience."

Had a great conversation with Rosie Grant about her new book. She collected the recipes that people had placed on their tombstones. It might be the most moving #cookbook I have ever read.

If you are a fan of this kind of music, I was thinking, if you were also a fan of an occasional slow-sip cocktail, that this might be the tome for you.

Yeah, but you move and groove. That dude looks like he walks only to the fridge.

If we agree on nothing else, can we agree that #Navy head football coach Brian Newberry was created in a lab?

I think the ease of performance of this song has a connection to what @dieworkwear.bsky.social talks about when he speaks of the pleasures of clothes that shape and drape rather than feel snug and restrictive.

It's a tailored performance, not one rehearsed within an inch of its life.

He reminds me of the guys who couldn't believe he couldn't get more access to the press pool.

@thesounddesigner.bsky.social, I always feel morally obligated to share this shit with you.

This was one of the most popular songs on The Road Gang, and I think it captures the spirits of the show to perfection.

I am no saint, but when my one of my producers tells me they're done for the day, I stop what I am doing to cut them loose.

I can't have these folks seething at me. Lol.

Now I am going to sound like a fucking Hallmark card...

What we have learned.

When a clown seeks genuine power, do not laugh at them.

Take them deadly seriously, and stop them.

Did anyone deliver quiet moral disgust better than #Redford? His only rivals? Jimmy Stewart, Sidney Poitier, Henry Fonda, Gregory Peck, and Spencer Tracy.

He was also a master at showing men who decide to fight for a lost cause.

If you can't tell, I am a little heartbroken today.

I always thought the wrong actor became president.

It was a life well lived.

Redford's vision of the arts and America will not only endure, it will prevail.

A teaching assistant at Medard H. Nelson called cousins in Alabama to break the news to them.

The lead singer of St. Paul and The Broken Bones is my other favorite parlor trick of "Wait? That guy has that voice?"
