Paul Simon, born today in 1941.

“It’s a cliché,” he said, “but music really IS the closest we come to a universal language. It crosses borders as effortlessly as a cloud.”

Like many, my Father & I are very concerned/worried & outraged.

To all my fellow wonderful friends: Again, in case you are in search of a good friend to talk to, you all are more than welcome to converse with me.

Curse the disgusting/putrid sleazebags known as Drumpf, M***rat & their ilk.

One of the greatest creature classics of all time, bursting with glorious style and genuine heart. More than seventy years old and as handsome as ever. 1954

Boris Karloff appeared on I'VE GOT A SECRET on CBS #OTD in 1954.

He lampooned his horror persona w/ a "blood-curdling scream contest" featuring audience members.

The winner got a truly malevolent prize: two cartons of the sponsor's cigarettes.

Watch: youtu.be/bQreVPR_8Ec?... #FilmSky #Halloween

Host Garry Moore w/ guest Boris Karloff on CBS's I'VE GOT A SECRET on Oct 13, 1954. I find it fascinating that TV shows were already doing Halloween stunts more than 70 years ago.

The only way to list every single brilliant movie John Candy was in would take a thousand characters. So, I'll just say this. He made good movies great, and great movies classic. And he is still missed.

The oligarch takeover of media aims to shield billionaires, corporations & politicians from accountability.

It's the culmination of a 50-year master plan detailed in never-before-seen documents exposed in our book releasing this week.

We preview the documents in The Guardian.

Looking at my vinyl record collection. Dug out my lovely Bauhaus Bela Lugosi’s Dead glow in the dark vinyl. People are listing on eBay now for roughly 10x what I paid for it. I paid about $10 several years ago, it’s going for $99-$150. Don’t think I want to sell mine though.

Dear liberals,

If you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It’s one small act of solidarity with the millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health

I sometimes look at my racks of DVDs and Blu-Rays and think how insanely jealous pre-teen me would be of me, and how lucky I am now to be living in a world where these things are readily available.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Born 13 Oct 1941, singer/songwriter Paul Simon. He wrote "Bridge Over Troubled Water" in 1969 for which Art Garfunkel provided the vocals. The album went on to sell 26 million copies worldwide & the track has been covered by more than 50 artists. A work of genius by a confirmed genius. #PaulSimon

I never got Polio, Tetanus, Pertussis, Diphtheria, Rubella, Measles, or Mumps. It's because my parents vaccinated me, and the vaccines work.

The regime fired everyone involved in the funding and administration of IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act).

They’re letting measles and other infectious and disabling diseases run rampant, and then removing disability support.

It’s eugenics and they aren’t even hiding it.
