It's always a breath of fresh air when you get to record in studio with another actor. Even more so when the writing is great and you get to play. Had the opportunity to record a #Progressive spot with Stephanie Courtney - aka #Flo - and she is absolutely lovely.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

Who wants to tell the Orange Man and his goon squad that the US military were the original #ANTIFA. "It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it.”

www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/the-...

The Army Warned Troops in 1945 of the Danger of Fascism. That Warning Rings True Today

As the military prepared for the occupation of conquered Axis nations, it realized that without awareness of the content and goals of fascism, it could emerge at home as "Americanism."

Back in the 90s when neo-nazi skinheads were everywhere, people wore colored laces in their Doc Martens to signify which side they were on. Red meant nazi, one black one white meant anti-racist, blue meant neutral, and green meant you like frogs and were anti-fascist. Been thinking about that a lot.

Diane Keaton was an icon and a trail blazer who forged her own path. An unparalleled talent who was always, unapologetically, herself. We all know her film pedigree, but she first rose to stardom on Broadway and was in the original cast of HAIR in 1968.

Jokes on them - I bet most of the women don't have periods because of IUDs, not skipping sugar pills with birth control or just training so much it stops.

This is pretty f@cked up though.

NEW: Some gamblers are placing WNBA bets based on when they think players are on their periods—and advising their followers to do the same. One content creator calls it "blood money." But the strategy is both unscientific and sexist. From @mollylongman.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/men-ar...

Men Are Betting on WNBA Players' Menstrual Cycles

Some sports gamblers are trying to predict WNBA players’ performance—and the outcomes of games—based on the athletes’ periods. One betting content creator has dubbed it “blood money."

Which is true? Either Trump’s Labor Department actually believes that immigration enforcement is threatening food security, or they are pretending the threat is real in order to crush wages for farm workers.

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.
