Can a nation organized and governed such as ours endure? A whole world looks to see what we will do. We cannot fail their trust. We cannot fail to try.

I just want to note that Vera Miles and Lorne Greene were impressively sleazy and horny. Great work, everyone. #AutumnLeaves #tcmparty

In these scenes with Cliff Robertson, Joan Crawford is really acting. Her facial expressions, the way she speaks, it’s really good. #AutumnLeaves #tcmparty

Things going great for Republicans in Iowa it seems.
New post: An obscure group based in Virginia says it spent $600,000 to run a positive ad about AG Brenna Bird on Iowa TV and streaming services.
My analysis of the ad and the surprisingly bad poll numbers that that inspired this outside spending:

Conservative group attempted image makeover for Brenna Bird
More than a year before the 2026 election, Bird's polling numbers were bad enough to inspire a well-funded outside rescue mission.

At this point X is like 1950s Vienna, a whole place made up entirely of spies, running ops against other spies, with no non-spy people. Or maybe like a 1971 Black Panthers convention where 3/4 of the attendees are conintelrpo.

Wow! #AutumnLeaves is SO much better than #QueenBee. Robert Aldrich, actual good script, story that’s relatable and makes sense. #tcmparty

I’m hearing the swelling, wistful romance in the score for #QueenBee, and I’m thinking, “I KNOW this.” Sure enough, the composer, George Duning, did the very romantic scores for melodramatic Star Trek episodes like “Metamorphosis, “Return to Tomorrow,” and “The Empath.” #tcmparty

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law.
There must be consequences.

Some incredible details in this piece
*one DOGE faction was planning the future of the US government at a venture capital firm
*illegally communicating on Signal to avoid transparency laws was deeply embedded into organizational culture to be taken for granted

We have lost a great man. My parents wouldn’t get me Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots (“You’ll knock his BLOCK off”) but they did get me Mousetrap. Years later my kids heard my story of unrequited yearning and got me “Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots.”

We got to brutal mass deportations in the same way we got cops doing the lynchings & calling it an accident or a mistake or a tragic error. The reform school and Indian boarding school systems killed kids and wrecked communities and even now we're still pretending institutionalized abuse is a fluke

"Backwhack" is also, of course, how Marlene Dietrich used to introduce her musical director.
Are you sitting down?
It's also known as a hack, a whack, an escape, a reverse slash, a slosh, a backslant, a backwhack, a bash, a reverse slant, a reverse solidus, and a reversed virgule.
