Part of me appreciates the sympathetic press boycott of the White House over its recent banning of large news outlets. Part of me is concerned that this only offers a window for Trump and his ilk to even more quickly operate with malice and ignorance, under more cover.

Good morning. In another forum a non-Jew was shocked by the regular practice of armed guards at American synagogues. My curiosity is now genuinely piqued. I wonder how frequent this is at American churches, mosques, and other houses of worship. Please share if you have insight or experiences.

Ever watch a streaming movie based solely on the still image or lead actor and not read the synopsis? How’d that go for you? We picked ‘War Machine’ on Netflix because we saw Alan Ritchson in it. About 1/3 of the way through we went, “Well, THAT took a hard left turn.”

With the Olympian/reflecting pool case dropped, a question for US lawyers: are there criminal penalties lawyers face for malicious and/or incompetent prosecution, especially with frequency or at scale? Can immoral, unethical, or unskilled jurisprudence trigger more than just disbarment?

I know Spirit of Halloween gets memed and mocked to death in social media, BUT… TIL that when its flagship store has its “grand opening” for the shopping season leading to Halloween, it’s a party event with 1000s of RSVPs that sell out. They literally have to tell people not to camp out for it.

Desperate Hours Productions @desperatehours.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Disappointed that Democrats aren’t reading the room when it comes to the death of Lindsey Graham. It’s okay to say nothing. You don’t have to shit-talk like Trump, but maybe don’t celebrate Graham’s “public service” that too often compromised the well-being of his constituents—and maybe yours, too.
