I avoid war themes, Star Wars to Hogan's Heroes.But I watched Darkest Hour last night where Oldman plays Churchill masterfully b/c it was Dec 7.Wasn't watching w/intent.Then came Churchill in the London Underground listening to citizens&I instantly wailed, longing a compassionate leader.It's trauma!

There is no better timely political talk program fed to you through intellect and humor than this here.👇🏻Go! Now!

Am I the only one whose mom taught their child not to stare at dogs when they poop because it embarrasses them? Don't stare at a dog pooping, don't record turtles mounting Crocs and treat all creatures w/dignity. 🫶🏻 you @kimberleyjohnson.bsky.social @bobcesca.bsky.social @stephaniemiller.bsky.social

I'm with you, @kimberleyjohnson.bsky.social, the turtle/Croc clip is unkind. Meg Ryan in the deli will do for a substitute. Leave turtles in peace. @bobcesca.bsky.social @stephaniemiller.bsky.social @bellagerencser.bsky.social

I have said this before but it bears repeating, HealthPartners is garbage. And I don't have any health issues! I know five people - two MDs - who left Park Nicollet after being bought by HealthPartners because HealthPartners is garbage. Finally left for Fairview Southdale. I wish me luck.

@halsparks.com, oh my god, you and @bobcesca.bsky.social! We're not worthy!

Working from home is liberating on days like these. Now, it's not slippery because it's been warm up until this morning. Still, it's messy on the car and cold and windy. Morning MPR photo because I don't feel like getting a good shot from here. Let it snow.

Trump’s healthcare plan has been “two weeks away” for so long it technically qualifies as a pre-existing condition.

In Auntie Mame, Patrick asked what words meant so she had him to write them down to define later. @bellagerencser.bsky.social should do this about unfamiliar film, TV, pop references @stephaniemiller.bsky.social "& the rest" make to learn later. A big hit w/the youngins.(1958& 60s references above.)

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Still catching up w/@MarcMaron WTF &stunned by the interviews or mentions of those now passed. I guess that's life. Beau Bridges finally resolved a long ago segment on PBS I couldn't source that rocked my core; Johnny Got His Gun, a perspective monologue of a soldier w/no limbs or senses. Finally🙏🏻

The Beast in Me on Netflix is very good but the one thing that the writers didn't consider and had me on the edge of my seat constantly was whether Steve was being let out or being fed and cared for. Come on!

Missed a lot of @marcmaron.bsky.social WTF b/c work, life& political insanity. I binge now&then.OK, I binge a lot.I'm noting how much bright talent was interviewed&left us over the years.Too many to list.So while we cope&fight folks being disappeared by this admin, be kind&appreciate loved ones now.

Three things make me laugh no matter how many times I see it.Frasier flubbing Buttons&Bows when he performs 4 Seattle's public TV pledge drive, Judy Garland on her special flubbing The Xmas Song w/composer Mel Torme& brilliant @thestevenweber.bsky.social's intentionally goofy driver's license pic👨🏻‍🍳❤️

I awakened to election news that made me dance in bed, while listening to @bobcesca.bsky.social, who mentioned the driver's license pic @thestevenweber.bsky.social took. And my face has laughed and smile with relief and utter joy almost more than I did when they called the election for Joe Biden! 🤣

Some Dem friends/neighbors on "Medicare" PtC/"Medicare" Advantage (it's not Medicare)-some medical professionals-who won't entertain facts about it, I think cuz it's cheap&like employer ins.It's worse! John Oliver covered it. His ad spoof w/Meghan Mullally& Nick Offerman tubechop.com/videos/6Unck...

Bluesky is much freer of Nazis than Xitter but here's a problem, Dick Cheney died and it's not even under trends. Yeah, @taradublinrocks.bsky.social, it's clunky. @halsparks.com Oh and Dick Cheney died.

Remember during oral argument on the presidential immunity case when conservative justices scoffed at and mocked the hypothetical that a president with immunity could just start killing whoever he wanted and there was nothing that could be done if he has immunity?

Never had a package coming via USPS get lost for 20 days. Nt only was the tracing process helpful, an employee actually called to help *and* I just got notified it is arriving today. In the dark days of the felon, customer service and actual kindness feels so normal - very good and pre-felon normal!

I hope Tylenol gives Ken Paxton a migraine from hell.

IL Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias is warning federal immigration agents that swapping/altering license plates during Trump's ICE raids is against the law & "will not be tolerated." A Plate Watch Hotline has been implemented for people to report cases of license plate tampering: (312) 814-1730

In the words of Road Flare Mary, you know what, @StephanieMiller.bsky.social? You are one of the finest interviewers out there. Mr. Murrow would give you a nod, at the very least. Thank you to Charles P. Pierce and @RachelBitecofer.bsky.social.

Mike Johnson has given the house a very very very very very very very very very long vacation because he’s worried about the Epstein files

Having a @marcmaron.bsky.social WTF weekend, listening/relistening. All marvelous but the one from 2014 w/Mike Myers might be the funniest yet! And that includes RIchard Lewis and Bob Newhart! So smart, so much sourced, so honest. LOL & my neighbors think I lost my mind. That part might not be new.

OK, Radio Guy Chris, I give up. What's the theme of Milton Berle, Totie Fields, Sally Kellerman? @stephaniemiller.bsky.social And please, @bellagerencser.bsky.social, look up Totie Fields. Her comedian work/personal story will make you laugh through tears. A Joan Rivers' contemporary gone too soon.

It’s day 15 of the Epstein shutdown

My homeowners went fr $2500 - $5000 in Minnesota, land of 10K lakes, so water, not known for earthquakes. So I got a high deductible plan, basically cataclysmic coverage. I'm literally trimming/removing trees so nothing falls on my house! @stephaniemiller.bsky.social @jodyhamilton.bsky.social

Peter Thiel Qatari Airbase #SheShed We’re eight days away from #NoKings Day, and over 2,500 protests planned in all 50 states and across the world. October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — because Courage is contagious. Find an event 👉🏾 mobilize.us

If you wonder how bad the Epstein Files are for Donald, he had the federal government shut down so you wouldn't find out.

The *only* time I ever reacted in sobs about a cancellation was @marcmaron.bsky.social Morning Sedition. Just wanted him in emotional bubble wrap. Catching up on WTF while I break my body on a house project. I've fallen in love with several guests today. Gonna remain undecided on one. (Always will.)

I’m Spring Roll- ppl ♥️ those! Y not ♥️me? I’m going 2b euthanized bc I’m scared! It’s #caturday - I’m as small as a #cat-can u foster me? CT ME MD NY NJ NH NE ME MI MD MA PA RI VA VT? Transport/food/vet provided. I live #football hate Kristi Noem! REPOST me! #resisters [email protected]

There is no war in Portland. Medicaid pays only providers. Undocumented people are NOT on Medicaid. Republicans are responsible for the government shutdown. Republicans ARE enjoying harming others. ICE = Gestapo. FACTS.

Back in the day, a fillibuster was called "taking the diaper." I learned this on Cash Cab so I know it's true. That's what I say when we discuss fillibuster. Sounds more urgent than fillibuster, which sounds more like a WIlly Wonka candybar. @jodyhamilton.bsky.social @stephaniemiller.bsky.social

@bobcesca.bsky.social I can not fully express my joy hearing Micheal Elston, aka Buzz Burbank, on your Wednesday show. Listening this morning to start my Friday w/smiles & laughter. And I just had my first eight hours of sleep in eleven nights of "don't sleep, the fascists will kill me" insomnia.

I got on Xitter for three minutes and corrected the grammar of three tweets - or Xeets - including oone of a Republican US Representative. I'm going to regret the attention I may have drawn, aren't I?

Happy birthday, Mama. @stephaniemiller.bsky.social 🎂🎁🎉🤴🏻♎💐
