One thing to remember if you're trying to understand Trump's continual love of Putin. Putin is an enemy of the west. He's an enemy of democracy. He's an enemy of the rights of ordinary people. But he's not an enemy of the rich.

The MAGA stains on American democracy will never be rinsed out in my lifetime. For however long I have--20 years, 30 years, a week, or a day--we will always be the country that did those things. I don't know how many can really accept this.

As someone not steeped in the “magic” of the Marvel Universe, I’m probably not the target audience for the first two episodes of “Vision Quest.” I think it’s silly at best. Mostly…meh… But GOD DAMN do I love watching James Spader act. I wish there was a whole show with JUST him as Ultron […]

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

Proof that Siri still isn’t ready for prime time. We limit the size and weight of vehicles on our ships. So I asked Siri, “What is the curb weight of an electric Lincoln Navigator?” and got this result. Ok. But… I was standing next to three of them…🤦🏼‍♂️
