I just started watching Maigret, about an absurdly handsome, brooding British detective pretending (badly) to be French, and I honestly couldn't care less how badly they're mangling the source material, this is exactly why we should save public television.

If Trump makes a China "deal" he'll be like a firefighter who sets fires just to be praised as a hero for putting them out.

They paved the Rose Garden and put up a tacky dump.

“the president got mad at a television commercial so now your maple syrup is more expensive” is no way to run a country

I've been a leftist Trekkie since before Joshua Tyler was born. This photo was taken 49 years ago. Let's bury his bullshit in actual evidence of women in fandom. Show your photos and tell your stories!

Joshua Tyler: Most Trekkies whom I, a man, know are men. Most men are Republicans. Ergo most Trekkies are Republicans. I am Spock. Most Trekkies: GTF away from us, creep.

People need to stop posting clips and memes with no verifiable source or background. That clip of ICE being brutal or Trump being a moron will have way more impact if it's credible and contextualized. We're no good to anyone if we're as gullible as the MAGAts.

There is an all out (non-violent) civil war in the American Jewish community. It has been brewing for a long time, but it is starker than it has ever been.

OMG I just discovered that TMBG Dial-a-Song is back (has been since 2014 -- why was I not told?) and the song that is on right now is a BANGER. (844) 387-6962

Who in their right mind would bring any small vessel anywhere near American waters right now?

Just to clear something up for MAGAts who seem confused: No Kings wasn't about election denial. We know damn well what happened in the election. You elected a fascist. We exercised our right to speak out in opposition. It's really not complicated.

The demolition of the White House was a direct, childish response to No Kings. The message: I am the king, this is my palace, and I’ll do with it whatever I damn well please. P

True to form, Trump responded to his critics by smearing poop everywhere and then breaking the White House.

He's not tearing down HIS house. He's tearing down OURS.

MAGA can’t seem to decide whether I’m paid by Soros or I’m AI-generated.

The No Kings theme is amusingly ironic in Morristown, given the rally location across from a particular supermarket.

Morristown last night and today. Visibility Brigade Morris Essex

More from Morristown NJ No Kings.

The radical left. Morristown NJ No Kings.

Thing about this movie is that in addition to being politically trenchant, it’s goddamn hilarious.

The voice is shaky but the determination is strong! #nokings

Brainworm Bobby and the Micro-dicktator strike again.

Trying to mentally prepare myself to face one of my greatest fears: driving on the left.

And as long as I’m bitching about stuff: I don’t care whether they ever make any more Doctor Who, I just want access to the past series that I actually enjoyed.

It’s ridiculously hard to find a pair of women’s shoes that are stylish, leather, and comfortable enough to walk in all day.

What's the one thing I must not leave Melbourne without seeing?

Antifa hasn't been founded yet, but it will be, in 2161, at which time Jonathan Archer may or may not have a girlfriend, who will certainly not be arrested by these assholes.

The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

I'm exhausted just reading 2-day Melbourne itineraries. I'll probably drop dead trying to actually do one.

I just discovered that when Australians talk about the CBD, they don't mean the ingredient in cannabis.

Trump’s authoritarian actions can be both distractions from the Epstein files and part of his agenda to dismantle democracy at the same time. It’s not either/or.

A basic life skill you’d think I’d have learned by now: Do not eat cheap home food, then go out for expensive restaurant food. Corollary: Expensive restaurant food is never as good in a doggy bag.

Yesterday we did 3 bridges in Morristown NJ to support Mikie Sherrill for NJ gov. We had the same message on both sides of each bridge so 6 in total. @mikiesherrill.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social

I, too, watch Star Trek for the deeply cerebral storytelling…

I canceled Netflix awhile ago but I’m restarting my subscription so I can watch Dead End:Paranormal Park.

Apparently ADL now stands for American Despot's Lickspittle.

Many are interpreting the top brass sitting stony-faced through the Trump/Hegseth circus to mean they're opposed to Trump specifically and/or authoritarianism generally. Their commitment to the appearance of nonpartisanship doesn't tell you what they actually believe about anything else.

I think we know who's auditioning for next head of the Christmas Adventurers Club.

On Captain James T. Kirk's orders release the Epstein files. First officer Spock says "It is the only logical thing to do!" 🖖

It is incredibly difficult to get folks to understand that there are literally 20-30 people in DC who could end all of this tomorrow, & all of them are Republicans in Congress, & no one in the National Conversation seems interested in paying attention to that.

We’re getting a new roof and it sounds like the 3rd Russian Army marching on Galicia directly over my head. They arrived at 7am and I have a ton of editing to do today so this is going to be a fun day. Need more coffee.

One Battle After Another is really good and freakishly timely.

Troops. In an American city. Using full force. Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

I realize I'm being an entitled little bitch here, but I'd my teabags pre-separated, with a string on each one, please and thank you.

War-ravaged Portland

There seems to be some mistake. “Witness the failure of the American experiment” was not on my bucket list.

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”
