OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars": ".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." @variety.com $DIS variety.com/2025/film/ne...

HUD.Gov right now has a delusional partisan popup and banner. This is what the Trump admin is all about, spending tax payer money to make shit up about their opposition.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Dispatch from “war-ravaged Portland, Oregon,” 9/28/25: After much reading (still awaiting the Dumpy-Epstein files) and gardening today, we savored fresh lefse wraps from @vikingsoulfood . House-made lefse, filled with smoked salmon, tangy dill sour cream sauce, surkal, and microgreens, and… (1/2)

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

In London, hate will never win.

Charlie Kirk deserves to be remembered for his life's work www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...

Charlie Kirk's org's main purpose was to surveil, terrorize, and force the firing of college professor's he disagreed with. He was a committed, tireless opponent of free speech and democracy. 1

yikes yikes yikes: With the support of dozens of Republican judges, the Heritage Foundation created an 800-page clause-by-clause breakdown of the Constitution "that seeks to establish originalism as the sole legitimate way to read the nation's founding charter" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/u...

Supreme Court rules ICE racial profiling is GOOD! Colleges considering race? BAD! My column on a big day for racism and hypocrisy: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

you misspelled "I will be holding public hearings immediately on RFK Jr.'s mismanagement of HHS, and even though we do not have the power of the majority, these hearings will be televised live and Republicans are welcome to join if they care about Americans' health even a tiny bit"

What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”

These VOA newscasters and reporters were given visas because there weren’t experienced broadcast journalists in the US with native level skills in such languages as Bambara, Lao or Georgian. But since Kari Lake wiped out nearly all VOA’s 48 language services there are indeed no jobs for them now.

This is cataclysmic in just about every imaginable way.
