A fine actor and a good man. RIP.

“Cloning yourself is a bad idea “Bathe often.” “Volume control is good.” These are The Rules. What rules are missing…?
A “we were wrong” correction would be nice.
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Roman Polanski’s exposition of the Dreyfus Affair—and the deep seated anti-Semitism that created it—was all set for its American release but the #MeToo movement killed it…Now, after six years, the folks at @filmforumnyc.bsky.social believe the film’s time has come… www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/m...
Bill Cunningham fans, you'll dig this: www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/t...
It’s not democracy that needs to be “clean and not corrupt.” Democracy is an idea. It’s the greedy and power hungry social units within a democratic system that corrupt it. So if we want a better system, the way rational and humane actors define “better,” we need better participants in the system…
Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.
A papal Mass drew more comparisons to Woodstock than Lollapalooza 2025…wow. open.substack.com/pub/lettersf...
My very own Boston Red Sox have overtaken the Yankees to be #2 in the AL East.
The capitalist class converts your life-time into leisure-time for themselves. Time to get organized, comrades. #SocialistSunday
My fear is that they will be released and there will be no consequences…legal or otherwise. As per…
Brilliant…

My older sister introduced me to the genius of Professor Lehrer…this is one of the first tunes she ever played for me. I was 8 years old. Still funny. Still catchy. Still relevant…And pretty strong stuff for its time…one of the best teachers I ever had, and never met. youtu.be/pvhYqeGp_Do
My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.
Knew very little about him. Did a deep dive after your post and now I know a little more about him… thanks for the intro!
You know it’s going to be a good day when Ben Turpin ends up in your timeline…
I would like Soccer/Euro football to introduce a shot clock. Just for kicks.
PLEASE TALK ABOUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN EPSTEIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
Stevie Wonder is a renowned musician and vocal advocate for those with disabilities. He raises funds and awareness for children with disabilities, pushing for greater accessibility for people who are blind and visually impaired. This Disability Pride Month, we celebrate Stevie’s art and impact.
Gift Article. Communities are standing up for each other. “During the first Sunday Mass after the raids began in Los Angeles, members of a Jewish synagogue stood guard outside a Catholic church in Boyle Heights, a Latino neighborhood, to look out for any ICE activity while parishioners were inside.“
Angels in our midst…
Five years on, Francis’s words still resonate… “Goodness, together with love, justice and solidarity, are not achieved once and for all; they have to be realized each day.” howell-5462.medium.com/recovering-k...
RIP Michael Madsen…
The Statue of Liberty is an immigrant. Born in France. Don’t tell ICE or she’ll be in a cage by dinner…
Finally…some news I can use.
Bad design. Hurts my head. And my eyes.
And some of them aren’t things… #PopeLeo #Chicago
The Constant Gardeners… go.bsky.app/5Zd26WF
Quite the opposite. This boy is ruling according to plan, and he is locked in…
940 pages to convey a two-worded message to every American who is not a white multi-billionaire:: “F*ck you.”
There are no immigrants. Only bigots.
I don’t know about where it’s going to end up, but it was definitely formed there…
I know this—they hurt. Bad.
They don’t hate the food. They hate the waiter… I learned this a long time ago.
This image is now absolutely everywhere over European media lmao
This one is alive…
We’ve had so much news that is important and bad… suffice it to say this is a much needed and most welcome respite.
Today, I'm suing the Trump Administration alongside 19 other states and Washington DC to stop them from arbitrarily canceling funding owed to Pennsylvania.
I wish they would drop the pretense of giving a fig about what is or what is not constitutional. We know from their actions and rhetoric that this is about absolute power and control, and, further, that the constitution is nothing but a musty inconvenience to MAGA, and an irritating one at that…
What they fail to understand as “believers,” Jesus returns every single day…to greet those who depart in faith. In this sense, he never left.
Resistance will take many forms in the days and months ahead.
📣 On her June 19th Facebook Live, historian Heather Cox Richardson breaks down U.S. v. Skrmetti—and drives home a powerful truth: rights are not a la carte 🛑🧾 either all of us have rights or none of us have rights. #USvSkrmetti #HeatherCoxRichardson #CivilRights #RightsAreRights #StandUpSpeakOut
The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.
I sure would love to see all the democrats in Congress on the Capitol steps calling for impeachment in one voice. I know we can't do it without republican votes, but it sure would be nice to see a loud, unified message. I'll be calling my reps today and asking them to please do this. Join me.
Between our will to superiority and the fact that armed conflict is, in fact, a business model, war will always be with us…until we are no more… Unless …we figure out how to make peace more profitable than war…and conquer human nature. #Iran
AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.
*They only give them to thinkers. #Fixed
And now this important public service announcement…with guitar. youtu.be/M1Zz7QWbS-w?...
So—The Louvre closed due to a workers strike. For how long, nobody knows… www.cbc.ca/news/world/l...
NEW: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a 2021 censorship law can't be used to ban teaching about race and gender in Oklahoma's higher education institutions. This is a win for academic freedom and the First Amendment.
I love this! As it should be!
Well done, Chicago… Today we stopped tweeting our outrage and marched…peacefully and purposefully… My self-imposed media blackout is officially over. #NoKings
“Peace is a daily commitment. It is a homemade peace.” We must fight for it and win it each day… The words of Pope Francis echo on this day of nonviolent protests. #NoKings

Carlos Alcaraz comes back from two sets down and vanquishes Sinner in a fifth set tiebreak to hoist La Coupe des Mousquetaires once again … ¡Vamos! @rolandgarrostennis.bsky.social
It’s been 10 years since an American woman hoisted the Suzanne-Lenglen Cup at Roland Garros. Serena did it in 2015. This year Coco ended the drought. As Rafa would say, ¡Vamos! @rolandgarrostennis.bsky.social
Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?
The Russia's Future channel, launched by Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya and Reporters Without Borders, began broadcasting Wednesday, on what would have been the late Russian activist's 49th birthday.
Unless my eyes deceive me that’s Dustin Hoffman sitting front and center at the first Roland Garros men’s semifinal today in Paris… and looking like he would not want to be anywhere else… @rolandgarrostennis.bsky.social
How do you get an entire city to pause and turn a gaze upward? A double rainbow over Lake Michigan…
God, I love human beings making the calls in tennis, with Hawk-Eye in reserve…It’s sport as entertainment and the human factor always contributes to the drama in ways the robots can’t. (Yet.) @rolandgarrostennis.bsky.social
Let’s remember:: When he says destroying “America” he means thwarting him and undermining his plan to become the Grand Poobah of the United States of America…

Heidy Sánchez is a nursing student. A mother. A wife. A survivor. She belongs with her daughter — not stuck overseas with no way to get back. #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump
The “government overreach” Republicans who cried that universal background checks on guns would lead to a registry of gun owners, are quiet now that Trump is paying Plantir to build profiles to track every American using their personal, financial, health and social media data.
And they should be for every book…
The part that frightens me is, what if they recognized it and that’s exactly why they voted for it?
There is only one answer with this bunch:: Hatred and stupidity. It’s a lethal combo, and we should make them choose one or the other.
We should all feel like the luckiest people on the face of the earth, knowing a guy like Lou Gehrig once walked among us mere mortals… www.mlb.com/news/mlb-com... MLB commemorates fifth annual Lou Gehrig Day
Walmart & Target are forced to raise prices due to tariffs. The price of a Jurassic World T. Rex toy went from $39.92 on 4/27 to $55 on 5/21 - 𝟯𝟴% higher. "We'll keep prices as low as we can for as long as we can given the reality of small retail margins." www.businessinsider.com/walmart-pric...
If her constituents were more discerning they would know that she is mocking them and their faith….
They won’t be able to lie about the consequences…although I am prepared for them to tell their constituents that Hunter Biden’s laptop is to blame for all of their Medicaid sorrows.
With 5:25 left to play, Rick Brunson was telling the @ny-knicks.bsky.social the last thing they wanted to hear in game six:: it was all over. And he didn’t say a single word. One glance at the coach’s bench was all it took…
Imagine the forces in the GOP star-chamber asking, If UBS can put a “manifestly irresponsible man” on the nightly news to make a killing for a TV network, why shouldn’t the USA put a “manifestly irresponsible man” in the White House to make a killing for another kind of network? @tcmtv.bsky.social
Yes… We needed a revolution. Just not this one.
La victoire appartient au plus opiniâtre! Today, that was Tommy Paul… @rolandgarros.com
There should be a John Wayne bio pic just so Stellan Skarsgård can play The Duke…What do you think @benmank77.bsky.social ?
I heard The Clash playing in my neighborhood grocery store the other day as I was buying some fruit. Today I heard Iggy Pop. It made me wonder if it’s better for punk to be forgotten completely or recontexualized as background music for food shoppers…
