I cannot imagine the dark path one’s life has to turn down in order for it to feel urgently important to harass a toy store on Kelly Clarkson’s behalf.

I keep thinking I will wait for Digger to stream, but the more I read about it, the more I think I need to see it in a legitimate theatre.

I never forgot this but 9/11 happened when I was like… 22? And I had all these naive ad violent images in my head. And I had one friend, slightly older guy, he was just not about that, and I asked him “you don’t want see anyone dead for this?” And he goes “no man, hate hurts the character.”

Green Lantern, Ms. Marvel, mad scientists, Smithers, and why representation isn’t only about seeing ourselves. White kids need Black heroes, too. Boys need stories about girls. Straight kids need queer characters. It’s about learning to see each other. 💚 timothybraun.substack.com/p/in-brighte...

The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help - and leave the rest to us!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

Nobel Laureate Anne Carson, with one of my all-time favorite opening lines and one of my all-time favorite closing lines.

O Small Sad Ecstasy of Love

Anne Carson

I like being with you all night with closed eyes.
What luck—here you are
coming
along the stars!
I did a road trip
all over my mind and heart
and
there you were
kneeling by the roadside
with your little toolkit
fixing something.

Give me a world, you have taken the world I was.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

I've written 130 plays, most of them short, most of them terrible. I produced the first when I was 22, with support from The Kennedy Center. From there, the plays went from terrible to less terrible. I've fought for the KC because artists deserve a chance to grow. Thank you, KC.
