What? The admin making the decisions were four white men? I'm SHOCKED. SHOCKED, I say. I think we need 4 new essays from them before they resign, about why essays are not a valid form of punishment for gang rape. Just a thought...

I have reached my "old man yells at cloud" era. Read on for quotes from yours truly on modern movie-going and my plea for audiences to put their phones away in this piece by Bianca Thompson at The Toronto Star: www.thestar.com/entertainmen...

The big-screen comeback has brought back an old problem: bad movie etiquette
As blockbusters like ‘Spider-Man’ and ‘The Odyssey’ pack GTA theatres, moviegoers say phone scrolling and bad etiquette are back.

It took me until the final scene of Bridgerton S4 to realize I am now a huge fan of 2 sets of Benedicts and Sophies. One couple may be fictional, but that’s hardly important. ❤️❤️

Another great point In the past, The BBC has taken the liberty of editing out "free Palestine" in the speeches of presenters so that it wouldn't be spread widely, but chose not to sensor the "N" word in this case, and other cases.

Since the start of Donald Trump’s second term, Republicans have deployed ever more Nazi imagery and rhetoric, and espoused ideas associated with the Nazi Party, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. He examines how this dark fringe reached the center of the GOP:

You will absolutely fall in love with Sharon Farmer when you watch #ToughOldBroads. This clip of her talking about #MLK and his fight for Civil Rights and a just society is so on point, and her attitude about being fully engaged is one we should all adopt. Be like Sharon. All the time.

Don’t let the lauding of Trump for taking down a dictator take hold. Instead, let’s keep supporting and talking about people like Maria Corina Machado who are risking their lives for the rights of Venezuelans as they aim for a PEACEFUL transition from dictatorship back to democracy. 🕊️🇻🇪

If you were thinking 2026 could be an improvement over 2025, Trump and his War Mongers want you to think again. Day 3 and he’s already unilaterally bombing Caracas. Buckle up, guys, because he’s got 20 more days this year than he did last year to reign w/ greedy fists & burn the world w/ impunity 🌎🔥

Emma Badame @emmathedame.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
Please, Americans. Use your voice, yell LOUDLY & let your reps know. The White House is making unilateral decisions on the reg - all of them atrocious. But bombing Caracas is actual war. This isn’t AUMF. There was no imm. threat. It’s unconstitutional. The Senate & House need to grow a spine & ACT.

Rob Reiner was a once in a generation person. Kind, talented, someone who gave back, and knew democracy requires attention/participation. He was responsible for some of the best/most memorable films of my lifetime. This whole story is horrific. Thank you for the laughter and the tears, good sir.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Said last night that I bet Trump would say something appalling because Reiner was someone who’d been vocal about his dislike of him. I really, really hoped I was wrong because of how horrific this has been already. But just when you think the lowlife that is DJT couldn’t stoop lower, he does.

I like the Dodgers as a team, but I’m also loving how stunned they’ve seemed by the #BlueJays for a lot of this #WorldSeries. So many people have underestimated and dismissed this team and they are finding out now how wrong they’ve been. *chef’s kiss*

What a game. Really impressed how long the Jays held on, given it wasn’t our A lineup. Little did a fine job, but could only do so much. Happy it was Freddie Freeman with the walk off, so I can at least say a 🇨🇦 won tonight. Kudos to all my fellow East Coasters who stayed up for all 18 innings!

Stay classy, L.A. Cheering Springer's injury. I know why you boo him - I get it. But cheering an injury to anyone is BS. This guy has been hit in the head, the knee, the hand, and anywhere else you can think of this year. Maybe stifle it for the few steps it takes for him to hobble off the field.
