I enjoyed James Van Der Beek's work. I wish he'd had a broader film career but, between Dawson's Creek and a handful of films I really loved, there's a legacy for someone gone far too soon. Thinking of his wife, 6 children and family.

Pam Bondi is a naked political whore, eagerly doing the bidding of a desperate wannabe dictator. Whilst undesirable, in the long run, these arrested are badge of merit, like having been on Nixon's enemies list.

I doubt I'll ever be a fan of Coney Barret but, I'm semi-hopeful, given her surprising ability to question around the narrow confines of her, generally, aggressive dogma.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.
