On this day in 1911, the great Josh Gibson was born in Buena Vista, GA. Here's my painting of the great man with the Cangrejeros de Santurce (Liga de Béisbol Profesional de Puerto Rico) in 1939. Card collectors might recognize the image from Josh's scarce 1950-51 Toleteros issue.

Why does the NY Times keep using the phrase “modern era” as if this would’ve been normal in any other era? Or because they are trying to say that Trump is “worse” than “modern” presidents but they were all a little like this? @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

@bbl-astrophyscs.bsky.social Hey was walking this morning (5:25 am PST) and saw these lights…any idea what they are? (Have longer video too.) live 45 minutes east of LA in Claremont, CA. They are in a very straight line, but also keep appearing one after the other from “nowhere.” Have pics too…

Also this is dehumanizing of federal employees…unemployment went up but they are irrelevant people who we shouldn’t care about

The same state that says it’s ok to travel with a gun to the state and murder innocent people now shows that helping an immigrant escape ICE is clearly illegal.

So the Trump FBI has let a serial killer get away

I’m so infuriated that conservatives believe that parents should have say over vaccines which are actually a PUBLIC health issue but that parent rights when dealing with trans kids should be revoked. It’s hypocritical and both decisions will literally result in more dead children.

remember when some of y'all were welcoming her to the resistance ... please, next time she mildly criticizes trump, please remember she's still the enemy, trying to hurt my family specifically. and they aren't gonna stop with minors.

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Let’s go Minneapolis! “As the federal agents departed the scene, protesters sang the chorus to ‘Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye.’”

If Trump launches an illegal war against Venezuela without congressional authorization Congress must impeach him immediately. He has no legal authority to start a war. It’s insane, unconstitutional, and criminal.

I’m exhausted

Conservatives rebranded bigotry and every time the media uses “wokeness” as a euphemism they are helping a movement that it quite literally erasing the history marginalized people’s role in American life.

Look out. #Supergirl lands in theaters and IMAX June 26.

Every single person in this video and everyone up the chain of command should be criminally prosecuted. This is a brazen act of piracy. It's the stuff that would get people hanged for most of modern and even ancient history. bsky.app/profile/bnon...

So they *are* able to stop a ship in international waters and seize control of it without killing everyone on board? Huh.

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help. Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead. He continues to be a national embarrassment.

@alexkirshner.com @lindsaygibbs.bsky.social @benlindbergh.bsky.social Welp so much for kissing up to the administration…

It is unfair to focus on isolated incidents of violence by an individual and assume it represents a broader group, except that is entirely the framing used by the Trump administration about immigrants.

Justice for Lou

and the powers that be chose to put the inferior white player on this committee’s ballot over the superior black player. as it was, so shall it be.

I want Democrats to refer to EVERY GOP Congressperson by their birth names…Rafael Edward Cruz, James Michael Johnson, Felix Barry Moore, Eric Alan Crawford….because why do you get to choose your name anymore? They are terrible, petty bullies.

Frank Gehry No Longer Allowed To Make Sandwiches For Grandkids

Gehry transformed modern architecture with exuberant buildings such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Guggenheim Museum. "I've always been for optimism and architecture not being sad," he said. n.pr/44TlUw2

Major Pete Hegseth, in 2016: "... that's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders from their Commander in Chief. There’s a standard. There’s an ethos. Me in 2025: "You can refuse illegal orders." Watch for yourself.

Just out and out trying to incite a pogrom

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven. The hypocrisy is stunning.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.

Few sandwiches I had this week 1st two are from one of my longtime favorite spots, Lee’s Hoagie House in Pasadena, CA. 2nd two are from another favorite that’s survived all over NELA, Dave’s Chillin n Grillin, currently at The Rose Bowl. Descriptions in alt-text. All delicious. All heat.

I was the co-director of a college production of Guys & Dolls and was so busy with it I never looked for a job. My two bosses offered me a job as a hall director for the next year…
