Paul Newman, the first actor to play me on screen in the 1956 TV production of Bang the Drum Slowly. "From here on in, I rag nobody".
I understand this talented young man went on to have a pretty good acting career and to do some great philanthropic work.

Really don’t want to hear anyone talk unironically about the Liberal Media ever again
New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

Jeff Freaking Kent getting elected to the HoF while Lou Whitaker was one-and-done on the Writers' ballot and barely acknowledged on the Modern Era ballot is about as MAGA as it gets.

I mean, good, but what was known over a year ago about Nuzzi's unethical involvement w/Bobby Brainworm while covering his campaign & writing that hatchet job about Biden should have been enough to cancel her permanently from the journalism profession. Shame on VF for hiring her to begin with.

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey.
The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

I feel like the shorts are why these unis have always been disparaged, but I really liked them, especially w/the navy pants. The only flaw is not having the collar extend around the neck (guess that would have crowded out the NOBs). But the font & untucked shirt made them visually interesting.

Everyday I listen to @wfuv.bsky.social because I know @cornyoconnell.bsky.social will make my commute better by playing tracks I love like Everyday I Write the Book by Elvis Costello. And I even like the new Taylor Swift single that he played!

Tim Kaine was completely useless on the campaign trail for Hillary back in 2016 so it's not at all surprising to see him being completely useless in the Senate in 2025. Total loser.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

The East Wing was where Eleanor Roosevelt welcomed all visitors to the White House.
That must have kept this administration up nights until they could knock it down. To build a ballroom we can't afford, during a shutdown, for a president who just posted himself dropping shit on the country.

I'm old enough to remember when David Broder said of Bill Clinton, "He came in here and he trashed the place, and it's not his place." Every day, in ways both literal and figurative, we now can see what trashing the place truly means. wapo.st/4hqBNiU
White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom
The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.
