Brian Wilson was a musical genius. I’m sad to hear he has passed on. Also, God Only Knows is a perfect song.

Newsom sounded Presidential. Trump just sounds like a tired wannabe dictator.

Gavin Newsom just gave one hell of a speech. I’ve had my issues with him as Governor, but tonight I’m proud he’s Governor of California.

The first show I ever saw on Broadway was Ragtime. It made me fall in love with theatre in a whole new way. It was also my first time seeing Audra McDonald in show and made me a lifelong fan of her work. She’s a legend and beyond awards at this point.

Hear me out, I actually want more New Era returnees. Most of the Survivor legends and favorites we all love, we love them from their second or third times playing. We won’t have new Survivor legends if they don’t get that same opportunity. #Survivor50

Given the JK of it all, I’m not interested in a new Harry Potter series. With today’s casting announcement though, please remember that these are actual children and not adult actors. Be respectful and appropriate in how you talk about them, no matter how you feel about the series or their casting.

Jonny Ive and OpenAI is a partnership to watch. I’m excited about what may come from this.

The footage confirms what we knew all along: The Trump administration lied about Mahmoud Khalil's arrest.

His detention is illegal and unjustified. It's time for him to come home.

As a fan of The West Wing, I’m so grateful we got several seasons of Bradley Whitford and Elizabeth Moss doing such great work together. #TheHandmaidsTale

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.

They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

People can recover from mental and physical issues. If you go through what is detailed here though, you should take time off. John Fetterman should never have come back to Congress. His issues are persisting and he should be removed from his seat if he doesn’t step down. This is too damning.

John Fetterman’s Struggle

The senator insists he is in good health. But staffers past and present say they no longer recognize the man they once knew.

Woke up in India just in time to watch the Lakers crash out. Disappointing end to the season. Time to get some defensive pieces and build around Luka, who is going to be settled into LA next season.

This evaluation of ex-sheriff Alex Villanueva is damning and also not the least bit surprising.

Keri Blakinger @keribla.bsky.social · Apr 29

This UCLA psychiatrist's expert evaluation of ex-sheriff Alex Villanueva is ... really something.

(The county hired Cohen to do this eval to determine whether Villanueva had really suffered emotional distress as a result of being put on a "Do Not Rehire" list, as he alleged in his lawsuit.)
