I was a juicer -- film industry slang for set lighting technician -- working in Hollywood and beyond for forty years ... and now I'm not.

This old laptop is increasingly glitchy, so I've moved to a new one that can't access Bluesky: I type in e-mail and password, but that doesn't work, then the link to set a new one never arrives. So, it seems I won't be on Bluesky much longer ... but I'll still be here: hollywoodjuicer.substack.com

A human can only survive 2-7 days without clean water, whereas we can survive in perpetuity without datacenters. Choose wisely.

Blanche was confirmed as AG. Just a reminder: The last time a president appointed an attorney he had personal ties to, was when Nixon appointed his law partner and campaign manager John Mitchell. Mitchell ended up disbarred and spent 2 yrs in prison for his role as AG protecting Nixon.

If a joke president tries to tell a joke and no one laughs, and then tries to explain the joke, and blames the failed joke on someone else, who is the joke on?

Happy Sunday. Trumpy is planning a whole lot of shit to screw with the elections because he knows if we vote he'll be going to prison. Along with a whole lot of his friends. So vote like there's no option, becuse there is no option. It's us or him. Even Trumpys teleprompter dude is scamming us.

Trump is corrupt & a Russian agent, but Republicans think that's OK as long as they get richer too. That sums it up. All of the other noise you read is kind of irrelevant.

Regulations = protections. Remember this whenever the benighted tRump regime crows that "we're cutting regulations get the government off the back of business."

A second round of cyclospora and a new egg recall for salmonella. Weird how this suddenly starts happening when we roll back safety regulations and put idiots in charge.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Buddy had a friend of his wife’s go to Book of Mormon today. There’s a sequence where the lead character dreams he’s in hell. The lead actor threw in a “Hi Lindsay Graham!” during the matinee.

Trump tells a lie about Air Force One. NYTimes reports the truth. Trump then attacks the NYTimes & subpoenas the reporters. This is NOT how the 1st Amendment is supposed to work. This is what happens in countries where they DON'T have the 1st Amendment & a free press.
