‘Timothy Mellon, heir to the gilded age industrialist and former treasury secretary Andrew Mellon, is the secret donor whom Trump has described as a “friend”, “great American” and “patriot”, but has refused to name, the Times reported on Saturday…’ 💰

Easy one: People don’t have pictures of relatives who were murdered by demons.

I am finalising my annual London round-up for Shakespeare Survey & can report that it includes 29 shows (some of them adaptations) in 15 different venues, including 2 Dreams, 2 12th Nights, 2 Richard IIs, 3 Macbeths, 3 R&Js, & 7 HAMLETs. (pic: Camille O'Sullivan as Lucrece, which I saw at Wilton's)

Here's looking at you, Kid. Happy Jackie Coogan's birthday!

Kamala Harris says she is not done with politics and strongly suggested that she is considering another bid for president in a new interview

‘Second, this ghost thing has really changed the nature of our relationship. Jake and I can’t socialize in public together; ghosts are pretty marginalized. Besides, he mostly likes to hang out in the basement and wail. I’m trying to be supportive of his “new thing,” but it’s not very sexy.’ 👻

I early voted for Mamdani for NYC mayor because he’s the least toxic of all them. Cuomo has been running a no energy campaign; on the street in deep Brooklyn I see no flyers, posters or presence. Sliwa is an angry, idiotic, incompetent clown. Mamdani is the best of the 3 and he still has issues.

Calling Trump an insane creep who tore down the White House is good politics

Few know that Rob Schneider was actually born in 1642

America’s founding was basically a No Kings protest.

Ronald Reagan in his own words in 1987. 📻 Never thought I would ever say this, but Ronald Reagan was so much better a President than widdle Donnie Drumpf will ever be… And I don’t like Ronald Reagan! 😧

“At this moment in time, of course, the cake is really Marie-Antoinette’s main priority.“ 😒🍰

people are pretty upset about what trump’s done to the east wing but i heard when joe biden left he filled all the nail holes that his posters made with toothpaste to try and get his security deposit back in full

“Thursday that the demolition is ‘nearly complete’ and that it includes the 42-seat White House Movie Theater built by President Roosevelt in 1942.” 😔🎞️

I don't care which side of the aisle you're on; he's destroying the White House.

Finally realized I am mainly into Rush’s “Le Studio” output: • “Permanent Waves” (1980) • “Moving Pictures” (1981) • “Signals” (1982) Not into “Grace Under Pressure” (1984) which was the first new album I ever bought. Or did I score that as a cut out from Titus Oaks Records on Avenue U? Dunno. 🤷‍♂️

“Unfortunately, there are no paper menus. Scan this QR code. The link will take you to OpenTable, and then Facebook, and then TripAdvisor, and finally 4chan, where you can download a PDF. The menu is a thirty-nine-page instruction manual on how to kill yourself with a fork.” 🤣

It’s true! They have set these items in a carousel called of “Major Events Timeline.” Speaking of timelines, we live in a pretty bad timeline if this exists… 😔

That’s utterly _not_ a beehive. That’s a hornet’s nest. Very big difference! 🐝

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work. So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

“A man pardoned by US President Donald Trump for his role in the 2021 Capitol riot has been charged with threatening to kill the top Democrat in the House of Representatives.” 🤔 Self-cleaning oven. Keep on re-incriminating yourself, doofus. Get yourself locked up on new charges why-dont-cha! 👍

“A large police presence shut down part of New York City's Canal Street on Tuesday as federal agents carried out a joint Immigration and Customs Enforcement crackdown on illegal street vendors, according to law enforcement officials.” 😔

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.

Not to mention the stupid “KING TRUMP” video that the President of the United States made showing him flying a jet and dumping poo on “No Kings” protestors. 👑🛩️💩 I mean, it probably cost him nothing to make but still… The President of the United States made a video as idiotic as that. 📺

The government’s shut down. Trump and Republicans are: —Demolishing part of the White House to make room for a $200M golden ballroom —Trying to send Argentina a $40 BILLION bailout —Refusing to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva —Buying Kristi Noem 2 luxury private jets Americans deserve better.

Note Swedish made Volvo backhoe (aka: excavator) tearing down the White House. America first, right? 🤔

Jeremy Allen White _acting_ as Bruce Springsteen in a biopic is one thing. But a whole album of Jeremy Allen White _singing_ Bruce Springsteen tunes is another… thing. Bleagh… 🤢

18 years in the United States and I still can't get over how terrible, horrible no good healthcare is here, and how people here are just willing to accept having the worst healthcare system (by orders of magnitude) compared to any other advanced nation.

What happened to “America First?” Where’s the beef? 🤔🥩

Watched what is quite possibly the worst and weirdest Peanuts TV special ever: “It’s The Girl In The Red Truck, Charlie Brown” (1988) A mix of live action and animation that features Jill Schulz as an aerobics instructor and Snoopy’s long lost brother: Spike. 🤔 Watch only as a cultural curiosity.

The letters of Peter Thiel`s name rearrange to spell "The Reptile." - Timmy Young

Today I learned: “Dubble Bubble” chewing gum is spelled “Dubble Bubble” and not “Double Bubble”… Still crappy gum but hey… 🍬

“A man in an orange sweatshirt (Richard Knipel) rushed the stage. […] Another Wikipedian on the trust and safety team, Andrew Lih, had been standing watch in the aisle and charged forward, too.” 😮 Bravo to the “trust and safety team” for jumping in when needed. 👏👏👏

BRING ON THE FROGS

Do you know what a group of frogs is called? AN ARMY

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

“George Santos, the disgraced former Republican congressman, was freed from prison on Friday after President Trump commuted his sentence. On Long Island, in his former district, some people called the decision an outrage.” 🤔 Wah! You Long Island Republicans voted in Drumpf. Deal with it.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

As governor, I know @mikiesherrill.bsky.social will deliver for New Jersey. She has the experience and plans to drive down costs – and the integrity, grit, and commitment to service to be the kind of leader we need right now. Make a plan to vote today at mikiesherrill.com.

If you’re a fed and wear a mask, you’re a coward

I didn’t watch the NYC Mayoral debate, but as far as energy goes, Zohran Mamdani was the only one who seemed to have a pulse in this race. Andrew Cuomo seems like a sad/pathetic ghost; no energy at all. And Curtis Sliwa is a raving perennial loon ball. 🗳️ This race is very weird. 🥴

Yet another example of what a craven and petty a-hole widdle Donnie Drumpf is. 😔

In two days, be a part of the largest peaceful protest in modern American history. Join No Kings this Saturday at an event near you to push back on Trump's power grabs and make it clear—we don't do monarchs here. nokings.org

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals  You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

“Researchers […] published a paper Wednesday in the journal Biology Letters that concludes the rat hole was most likely created not by the titular rodent but a squirrel or a muskrat.” 🐀 This is why we can’t have nice things. 😔

Good! Fight back! ✊ “The tables will turn one day. These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration because the statute of limitations would not have run out.”
