ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

If GOP members of Congress were really “working in district” you would see coverage of them meeting with constituents.

I haven’t see one do this. They are sitting at home on their extended vacation, counting their salary and money from lobbyists and enjoying their tax payer funded health benefits.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

@hausumountain.bsky.social have got something special this week in this new Melvin Gibbs record. To call it Miles-inspired might be an understatement. Highly recommended music.

Saw it in a packed theater at midnight. Madonna having an album from the film helped too. The marketing on the film was smart.

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

Talking with young Prince Slumber about Ghost Rider comics and the Nic Cage movies (haven't seen them) and of course I had to play this for him. Not like I ever really forget how incredible this record, but it's always nice to be reminded how peak it is.

One time I looked out the window of the thrift store I worked at and saw a beautiful woman hopping down the street on one leg. A second later she burst in the front door and it was Diane Keaton with a broken high heel in her hand. You’ve never seen someone get served by half the staff faster

It’s remarkable to realize Diane Keaton created a signature look and sensibility back in the 1970s and for about half a century continued to be a creative inspiration for how to be yourself in a world that tries so hard to put you in a box. Well done, Diane Keaton. RIP.
