Tom Stoppard has passed away.
Summer was in the first regional production of his play, "Rock n Roll" - which may have been her favorite job ever - a co-production of San Francisco's ACT and Boston's Huntington Theatre.
While she was waiting in the wings to go on just before curtain...

The great Stoppard is gone. What a life. And a hero of mine, whom I got to interview when his trilogy The Coast of Utopia was on Broadway. www.wnyc.org/story/106931...

There’s some news about Disney streaming the “new” Beatles Anthology. And indeed it may seem new to US TV audiences who only saw it in the 90’s, edited beyond recognition as usual. I only saw the true series when Summer famously lent me her UK DVD box set when we met. This is mostly that. Enjoy!

I try not to do this too much but can I signal boost a track of ours that is of some resonance to me personally but never seemed to get a ton of attention? It's our weirdass, experimental shoegazey cover of Best Coast's "Better Girl". While perhaps an unusual choice it was/is entirely an earnest one

This is my yearly reminder that
A) The Pilgrims never turned on the Wampanoags. The Puritans who did were a whole different group of people.
B) Thanksgiving became a holiday to celebrate whooping the Confederates.
Sometimes we can just enjoy traditions without guilt!

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

I’m tired of these articles popping up about how to tolerate holidays with your MAGA relatives.
Just DON’T!
Cut the fucking Nazis out of your life and don’t tolerate their bullshit at all.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

No the Democrats in this video aren't "implying" anything. Members of the armed forces ARE required to refuse illegal orders. This is simple. Not controversial at all. And it's super revealing that MAGA is so worried that troops won't carry out an illegal order from Trump.

I actually muted a Dylan song, listening to radio today. I think Timmy Shallowass and his piece of shit bio pic has ruined (temporarily, I pray) the sound of the actual artist’s music. It’s nearly impossible to articulate how much I loath that mincing little twat. And I want my fucking Dylan back.

More Evidence Submitted to Dismiss the Charges Against Kilmar Abrego
Friday night, we learned that the DOJ lied about the door being closed to Costa Rica. Mr. Abrego's lawyers feel that's enough to immediately dismiss on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds.
