Got Donald Trump's $500 𝖻̶𝗋̶𝗂̶𝖻̶𝖾̶ ACA Refund Check. He thinks I'll be happy. He thinks I'll be grateful. He forgot he raised my monthly premium by more than that when he and his fellow Republicans canceled subsidies for healthcare coverage.

The wildest part of Eric Schmitt's colossal screw-up? Smith had all the receipts to prosecute and convict Donald Trump. Repubs know it, too. The best they could do was fail to show he was at the same game as another who tried to hold Trump accountable. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Hope (2026) is a perfectly good sci-fi/horror action flick. Effective tension-building in the first hour, high-voltage action scenes, even praiseworthy thoughts on bigger principles of Who Started It. So why does it feel like a letdown? #FilmSky

No matter what incidents occur or how much pressure is applied, Chiitan will always stand with all the good-hearted LGBT people.

Good LGBT people simply want to live as their true selves and love the people they wish to love.

They seek neither expensive cars nor expensive houses—only to live quietly and peacefully, following the feelings of their own soul.

Nolan's new film has some crediting the Coen Bros. with the American Odyssey. O Brother, Where Art Thou isn't a re-telling, though. Wiseacres added just enough Homeric references to keep us looking for more. Time for a serious discussion of the Coens and another guy who did exactly that. #Filmsky 🎥

Film poster for O Brother Where Art Thou? (2000) shows John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson and George Clooney in prisoner stripes in close-up at the top. At the bottom, we see them running from the camera across a field while chained together.

Book cover for Ulysses (1922) by James Joyce. It shows the book title and author name in a blend of Constructivist and Bauhaus design.

Jefferson Airplane were a foundational rock and roll band, by any accounting. But their live concert history is hard to find. I begin the task with a detailed look at Airplane shows from their start on August 13 '65 to the end of '65. rockprosopography101.blogspot.com/2026/07/jeff...

The SF Chronicle ad for The Matrix on Sunday, August 29 1965, likely the first ad in which Jefferson Airplane had been promoted. The Matrix, in the Marina District at 3138 Fillmore, was owned by Marty Balin and partners, and had opened on August 13.

The flyer for the first Family Dog dance at Longshoreman's Hall in San Francisco, with Jefferson Airplane and The Charlatans, on October 16 1965

The Daily Californian (UC student paper) ad for Jefferson Airplane at Harmon Gym, October 20, 1965. This was bassist Jack Casady's debut.

Finally placed why the Pale Man from Guillermo Del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth" (2006) seemed so familiar. #filmsky

A photo of the "pale man" from Guillermo Del Toro's film, "Pan's Labyrinth" (2006). This is a humanoid monster with pale skin and a snakelike nose. He's holding his hands up to his face, palms out, because that's where his eyes are - in the palms of his hands.

Cover art for Sonic Youth's 1986 single "Star Power." It shows a shaggy-haired person in a paisley shirt with a sitar in the crook of their left arm. They're holding the backs of their hands against their face, so we see the eyes drawn on their palms.
