ORSON WELLES at a Paris press conference in 1982 calling Oscar-winning director Elia Kazan a traitor for giving McCarthy the names of colleagues who were Communist Party members, were subsequently blacklisted and in many cases had their careers destroyed.

Whatever my sleep schedule could have been, it is no longer. I basically live off 4 hour naps now.

If you're really so progressive, then let women lead without nitpicking every facial expression, every gesture, every mannerism they make.

Anyway, further note to my earlier rant, if you want to be involved in politics and consider yourself to be a progressive organizer, but you're not willing to acknowledge that women and non white, non American born politicians have to work twice as hard and be twice as cordial to be heard-

I googled Amtrak trips out of Houston for the hell of it, since I’m not hopping on a plane anytime soon, And some of those trips are 60+ HOURS LONG! We could’ve had bullet trains for high-speed travel like Japan…but naw, RACISM! I hate this raggedy ass country w/ these raggedy ass voters! 🤬🤬🤬

I think maybe I'm still mad and sad that the prevailing attitude seems to be that people would rather let some people get killed than fix a few intersections to make them safer because in their minds that's some kind of gentrification.

Me to my sciatic nerve

Straight into my veins

I said

Tonight I found The Great Courses and Skillshare section on Kanopy and my library card continues to keep me from needing to pay for things I was about to drop $200 on.

How people respond to the paper fire is really a litmus test for what side they would have been on for the revolution and this should absolutely be called out on the 4th this year at every possibility

The die in on Claiborne this evening.

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

Ready for all the video edits set to From Now On from The Greatest Showman of this whole damn thing. 🚀

Pretty cool watching the country do science. Better than watching us murder people. Better than having companies do it for profit

I post this elsewhere yesterday, and I mentioned creatives, but honestly, if you use AI instead of hiring someone, or at least doing it yourself, I hope your business fails.

Two countdowns are really better than one

Most people don’t hate vegan food, they just hate food labeled vegan

It’s just occurred to me that this means I will have spent 10% of the year there. That seems…something…ridiculous?…good?…excessive?…it’s definitely something

The only thing I could keep in mind is how fucking beholden we are to the damn cars.

is there a SINGLE BRAIN in Hollywood to reckon with the fact that shrinking people WITHOUT RICK MORANIS does not work WHATSOEVER

Again, I want to remind people that baggage fees as we know it are a result of airlines implementing them "temporarily" to offset the high cost of fuel in the early 2000s.

Birthday trip to Disney is booked. If I don’t book anything else, I’ll have spent 37 days at Disney World between the time of getting my annual pass and when I have to renew it (which I obviously am)

Israel violated the previous ceasefire over 15,000 times in 13 months so we should expect them to violate this one, what, 500 times in 2 weeks?

I'm not even gonna read the plan, he'll be back to the usual psychobabble tomorrow morning

I feel like people don’t understand that the ones that would have to invoke the 25th are Vance and the cabinet, most of which see all of this leading to their sky daddy returning.

This might be the dumbest thing I’ve read today and my god a day it’s been

Two days after a cyclist was killed on the greenway, I’m just watching cars blow the red lights on it. This is why I ride like a jackass sometimes. Murder boxes don’t give a fuck, I’m gonna ride the way I feel safest.

Thinking of signing back up for Facebook just to tell all my family members I haven’t spoken to in near a decade to fuck themselves.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II

Exactly!

Let’s start the week off strong

A different perspective. Always helpful.

Just a quick reminder that Ronald Reagan yanked the solar panels off the White House. If America had remained on the path Jimmy Carter set us on, nobody would be talking about the Strait of Hormuz or gas prices right now. Republicans have been fucking America and the world for decades.

No, it's on white voters because the 2024 election happened after the 2020 failed impeachment. Those white voters could have corrected that mistake but decided not to. They decided so definitively that 63 million of them chose Trump outnumbering the 34 million TOTAL Black, Latino, and AAPI voters.

I’ve said several times I’m calling in the day it happens. If I call in today, I don’t get my holiday pay. I’m not saying I selfishly don’t want it to happen today, just putting out there I’m willing to lose the money, even in this economy

Still single handedly the greatest dumb idea I ever created

Speaking of self-promotion .... I just launched a newsletter! I've covered New Orleans education for 15 years and am branching out. Lamplighter: A crisp chronicle of schools, health and climate from the nation's weathervane, built on a bedrock belief in incremental reporting. www.lamplighter.news

I keep thinking I’m gonna end up somewhere different doing the same things that failed me before.

My weekends working are currently spent trying to not quit my job and my weekends off are currently spent doing everything I can to quit my job

I got a “new” camera

It was one thing to watch the launch yesterday, but seeing all the videos of people excited watching it is what really give me a little people of hope. (Mostly that kid on CNN saying he was excited because “we’re going to the fucking moon”)
