A still from the new Chris Hansen movie with Robert Pattinson wearing a tan suit, red tie with polka dots, blue shirt, dyed blonde hair combed over. He’s looking down with a sort of smug smile. Behind him is what I would describe as a Miami strip mall office—sort of pink wall, wooden frame clock, tall plant.

Happy Birthday to American organized crime figure associated with gambling operations and illicit finance, Meyer Lansky.

A screenshot of a Wikipedia article which says,

Opposing Nazi activity in America 1938–1941
With the election of Hitler as the Chancellor of Germany in 1933, the influence and membership of the Nazi party grew. Soon after, the influence of the Nazi party spread to America, mostly among German immigrants, who formed the organization Friends of New Germany (FONG). In 1936, FONG was succeeded by the German American Bund, with increased Nazi activity including rallies, marches and demonstrations. At the request of the New York Judge and former Congressman Nathan Perlman, Lansky and his gang stepped outside their usual criminal activities to break up rallies held by the pro-Nazi German-American Bund. He recalled a particular rally in Yorkville, a German neighborhood in Manhattan, that he and 14 associates disrupted, on April 20, 1938:

The stage was decorated with a swastika and a picture of Adolf Hitler. The speakers started ranting. There were only fifteen of us, but we went into action. We threw some of them out the windows. Most of the Nazis panicked and ran out. We chased them and beat them up. We wanted to show them that Jews would not always sit back and accept insults.

When Judge Perlman offered to pay Lansky for his services, he declined: "I am a Jew, and I feel for the Jews in Europe who are suffering. They are my brothers".

Awhile back I had a few made for my house by PrideFlagSD on Etsy. I've always had a hobby in designing flags and I'm proud of this one even though it's a pretty obvious design. I'd love for it to get around.

A hand-stitched flag of Denver—a circle representing the sun over two mountain peaks, but a Progress Pride version is hung over a standing white board. The background is rainbow: red at top, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. The sun is the Intersex symbol, a purple circle filled in with a more golden yellow. The mountain peaks are the white, pink, blue, brown, black triangles pointed upward. There is a wild amount of mess in the background around it. We had just moved.

Still catching up, but my favorite book of 2025 was definitely DEAD IN THE FRAME by Stephen Spotswood. I love this series and this was fantastic, incredibly interesting historically, and ended with a lovely nonfiction recommendation. If you want fun, queer, historical mystery: Pentecost & Parker.

For the last few years, instead of dragging out a TV that can play my VHS copy, I’ve been watching a YouTube rip of Rockin’ Reindeer (which I’ve been watching every year for my entire life). Best of all, its unhinged subtitles have made my least favorite song one of my favorite parts now.

To my point on they will use whatever they want to escalate no matter what—somehow the co-founder of Students for Trump is claiming he wasn’t radicalized until now. As if he was like a milquetoast centrist co-founder of a hardcore rightwing political group before this???

A screenshot of a Mother Jones article which says “Without directly calling for retribution, other MAGA figures made it clear Kirk's killing would forever change their own political trajectory. ‘Congratulations,’ wrote conservative activist Ryan Fournier, a co-founder of the group Students for Trump. ‘You have now made a radical out of me. You fuckers deserve it.’

My favorite historical marker is in Michigan and about how Carrie Nation destroyed a bar. 99wfmk.com/carrie-natio... "She would travel from town-to-town smashing saloons with her trusty hatchet."

A Michigan registered historic site marker that says "This historic district was once the scene of frequent brawls. In 1880, an uproar between local rowdies and workers of a traveling circus rendered so many bruised, beaten and jailed, that this street was thus named Battle Alley. Carry A. Nation, ‘Kansas saloon smasher,’ came to Holly on August 28, 1908, at the request of the local prohibition committee. Wielding her umbrella, she strode through the alley’s bars bellowing about the ‘Demon Rum’ and its sins. In 1910, Battle Alley became the first brick street in the village."
