I was a domestic abuse victim. I don’t think anyone deserves to be abused. I just don’t get how people who voted for Trump are surprised that he is willing to defund shelters. I think defunding them is horrible. I also think elections have consequences. Like everyone I am both good and bad.

After a 3.5 hour dress rehearsal tonight I needed to get dinner for the fam. Where to go? (I can’t thank you enough for this recommendation.)

I do too. Unfortunately, in Arkansas their votes made it clear there was something they care about more, like their fears of immigrants or their hatred of trans people. Until the country gets its priorities straight, there is going to be a lot of needless suffering.

Absolutely. The children always suffer when the adults make bad choices.

It is, but I admit I find it difficult to feel very bad about states like Arkansas when they are shocked to discover they got what they voted for. Donald Trump beat his first wife. How did they think he would feel about funding domestic violence shelters?

It is eerie how much that description fits the current Secretary of Heath and Human Services.

I really enjoy when we get one of these “day after the rapture” days. I like to tell people who seem surprised they’re still here that the rapture did indeed take place, but they got left behind with the rest of us and should reconsider their life choices.

I love how they are going to bomb it but only if they are still inside it.

My uncle served as wrangler to Ray Bradbury at one event. Let’s just say that sometimes it’s not food you have to keep the authors from wandering off in search of.

I agree with you and him that false narratives need to be interrupted. It will be difficult to convince many on the left to engage in conversations because FOX and the other media organizations did not just “slip in”. People make decisions, and those decisions are having brutal consequences.

Same thing happened here in CA. ICE had a negative effect on small business. Not only did they kidnap employees and terrorize customers but they blocked streets and shut down business in the areas they invaded. The human cost is worse, but if you only care about the economy, that cost is high, too.

The kestrel’s wings look gorgeous. They look like I imagined flying people’s wings would look—like in “The Winds of Harmattan”.

You have outdone yourself. If the children are the price of the 2nd amendment, then. . . (And for those who don’t see it, they are on the cloud. He is not. It looks to me like Wile E. Coyote that moment before he looks down.)

There are no holidays in nature, so a “made-up holiday” is a holiday.

It looked like there were bad guys in the shadows around him. Alternatively, I like the one with the car.

If that copy of Blood Simple has on its Special Features menu “Audio Commentary with Kenneth Loring of Forever Young Films”, watch it. I’m so not joking. You’re welcome in advance.

It’s not true. Human kidneys and livers can partially regrow, and the uterus of some animals can regenerate, but a human uterus cannot. The Tiktok was a lie.

Literature professors study human imagination and know it. Religion professors treat the study of human imagination as though it were the study of facts—even if they have no faith, which most do not.

Looks like when world leaders get together they don’t include the nation that lost its standing. This is bigger than one man’s ego, even if one man’s ego caused it.

So good to see young people finding themselves and claiming their identities despite the boxes and the hate and the mockery of ignorant control freaks. It’s a win for mental health.

Thelma and Louise The best thing about Geena Davis to me is what she’s done for women in the industry. Her documentary This Changes Everything traced what every disempowered group has gone through: real representation in one film makes Hollywood congratulate itself, then it goes back to SWM normal.

This is who we are. This is the US. We hate intellectuals. We hate experts. We hate community. We refuse to learn history. We refuse to learn science. We refuse to learn about the world. And, yes, we are racist, xenophobic, anti-gay, and anti-trans, not just some individuals but as a nation.

Maybe if they didn’t shoot residents there would be less to complain about, but they shot our neighbor, so people really should have questions.

Yes. Terrifying. He’s Viggo Mortensen, and he’s playing an absolutely leonine demon, and that’s definitely scary and not remotely attractive. Not even a little bit.

I think one was called Animal Farm. And he wrote Charlotte’s Web. And he wrote those stories about old gods that looked like squid. And My Friend Flikka, which was made into a movie called Lean on Me.
