A new Pew Research Center poll has Trump’s approval rating plunging to just 30% — his lowest showing in a high-quality poll this term. His previous low was 31% in a recent AP-NORC poll. A whopping 68% of Americans now disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job.

What is this gobbledygook? I guess maybe it makes sense if you don’t consider women to be people. “Whereas with Roe, the argument was made that it had an effect on people's ideas, women's ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in, that this would have an effect on the society.“

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

Of course the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy by Richard K Morgan that was adapted by Netflix as “Altered Carbon” is another great example of mystery/crime fiction with sci-fi elements.

Actually one reason people are raving about the movie is that they did a really good job depicting the major elements of the book in a way that are as exciting and compelling as the book (and, possibly even funnier).

“Stay-at-home mothers of young children voted for Trump over Harris by a 32-point margin.” I wonder what the party affiliation of this group is? Would love to read something about how they feel about their vote for Trump (mass deportations, racial re-segregation,etc) in 2026? #BlueWave #2026Vote

#SaturdayNightMovie was “Toy Story 5” (2026, Dir: Andrew Stanton). All the old voice talents return (Tom Hanks, Joan Cusack, Tim Allen) with newbies Conan O’Brien & Greta Lee. The screenplay includes some sophisticated observations on social media, tech adoption, allyship, and the dignity of work.

As an LGBTQ elder who’s been fighting for our rights since the AIDS crisis, it is my duty to dole out tough love when members of our own community are harming themselves or our community. And telling people not to vote Dem when we’ve already lost rights in GOP states YEARS AGO is harming us all.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

#SaturdayNightMovie was “The History of Sound” (dir. Oliver Hermanus, 2025) starring Josh O’Connor and Paul Mescal as two musicians who collect/record folk songs in rural Maine in 1919. Based on an award-winning short story by Paul Shattuck, the movie is slow, but emotionally devastating. 9/10.

Trump banning media outlets from the WH over their coverage is unlikely to affect their reporting much, but it is yet another example of how the right wing definition of “free speech” is that they can say what they want and you can say what they want.
