I write, sing, say silly things & have a hell of a time in the process. Facts matter. Laughter heals. I absolutely believe in old-fashioned things like truth, justice, Civil Rights, science, the arts, kindness, taking sad songs and making them better.

The simple ethos of a sociopathic narcissist: Reporter: “Your meeting with the Gold Star families today, how did it go?” D “It was great…these are the most incredible people, so I invited them to check out the, check out the new helipad, check out the new ballroom, & check out the new helicopter.”

Yes, I saw that. It's not a comfort, but I'd guess some of the people cheered in agreement, which is horrific. I also thing some weren't listening at all and just cheered because they think they're at a High School Pep Rally, without knowing or caring anything about the game or the teams.

California - Vote No on 39. Proposition 39 is a conservative push to switch California’s elections from some of the most accessible in the country to among the most restrictive.

This is the only thing any and all media should be discussing right now. Anyone who says he's kidding, should be grilled for hours explaining how that is a justifiable response.

Every single person in Congress, in the White House, in SCOTUS, FBI, CIA, any aspect of Gov't should be asked why they're ignoring POTUS inviting Iran to decimate American cities. Don't let them get away with, "He's joking." That excuse doesn't work any more. But we simply can't ignore this.

FFS - Stop debating whether or not he's lying about the $5,000 "dividend." Making the offer is a Federal Crime. Bribing the electorate for votes. A Federal Crime. I expect the GOP to ignore that. (Although I wish they wouldn't.) Dems, Independents, Media. Deal with it. At the very least, say it!

Stephen Colbert’s Lord of the Rings movie has been “paused” in light of the Paramount/WB merger. Well, sure...because LOTR films have proven such *enormous* financial risks. There couldn't be ANY other reason that Ellison would put the film on hold....right? www.worldofreel.com/blog/2026/10...

Stephen Colbert's ‘Lord of the Rings' Movie Paused by David Ellison After Paramount–Warner Bros. Merger — World of Reel
Bad news, Stephen. Your archnemesis has struck again. Ellison has hit pause on Colbert's LOTR movie. The film was originally rumored to begin shooting shortly after ‘The Hunt for Gollum.’

According to a new report from Knight Edge Media, Stephen Colbert’s Lord of the Rings movie has been “paused” in light of the Paramount Pictures/Warner Bros. merger. As the outlet notes, “Colbert is once again at the mercy of CEO David Ellison, even though he was working on the movie for WB.”

If you watched McCartney & Bernie on Kimmel, something to think about. Bernie (85) is 9 months older than Paul (84) Proof that it's not always about age. It's how engaged you are, how caring, how creative, how curious & obviously, where someone's intellect & memory is in their 80s.
