My first professional acting job was in an off-Broadway play with Diane Keaton in 1976. I worked with her again when she directed an episode of China Beach. She was smart, kind, funny and very, very talented. What a loss.

Time paradox: Sending troops NOW to #PortlandOregon in response to a NOV 2016 violent protest? Shouldn't we have troops surround the Capitol in DC NOW in response to the violent JAN 2021 protest? The "sell by" date for that protest is 4 years fresher.

Many Americans will miss comedy, now that it has been canceled along with free speech. Hopefully we can vote these freedoms back before too long! In the meantime, here's a goodbye laugh from ⁦‪@colbertlateshow‬⁩

He said the quiet part out loud as he celebrated Colbert & Kimmel getting canceled, saying Myers & Fallon will soon follow for "hitting Trump". They're being canceled for criticizing him, no matter what FCC says. No other president did this. Satire has been canceled along with the First Amendment.

Conservatives once decried Cancel Culture . Do they still object to it now that it appears to be official White House policy?

Hmm... seems likely that a big chunk of those stolen Medicare dollars will be "donated" to this couple's "benefactor".

Republicans were so sensitive about Biden's age and infirmity, so careful to avoid making
it a topic of social media commentary, that I am certainly not going to smile at this image posted by someone less mindful of @GOP discretion..

#HappyLaborDay , folks ! Your job is something you do – it isn't who you are. Whatever profession you have, you have all the rights of any other American. I believe that and I dream of a future in which we all believe that.
