Dryden. Exclamation point instead of a question mark at end of line. But I'm still aging rapidly, that part I'm sure of.

Watching France24 Daybreak. I heard about the Kahlo painting pulling in the lucre, Klimt broke records too?

Finally saw Come Back to the 5 and Dime Jimmy Dean...very very Texas. A late friend, one of my drama nerd comrades, loved this picture. Sandy Dennis, can you describe how good she is? Older I get more I appreciate Robert Altman.

Let me know if you're on Threads.

Al Jazeera: "Israel attacks Gaza. A series of artillery, air attacks hit near Rafah, Khan Younis, Deir el-Balah, as well as Gaza City." Life is hell for the civilians in Gaza. I support Alma and her family, there are many more in need. Please give, any amount helps. 💕 chuffed.org/project/1587...

The writers have done a spectacular job this season revamping their fascinating "Marjorie Taylor Greene" character. The suspense over what she will do next is compelling. A lot of things are going on with MTG, maybe some good, others bad, and we won't know exactly what for two or more seasons.

Europe's electricity system is changing rapidly and often in places that don't make the headlines. Look at Estonia - not that long ago and fossil fuels dominated around 90% of electricity generation. Today solar and wind eat more and more into the share of fossil fuel-generated electricity.

They think - correctly - that you're a moron, a Right Wing Dupe, and a waste of time, Steverino Maybe that's it

There are over 1,200 fossil fuel lobbyists at the U.N. climate summit in Brazil, more people than some entire countries have sent to the #COP30 talks. https://www.democracynow.org/2025/11/17/climate_plunder

I could do a haibun about my trip to San Antonio a few years back. Already have a few haiku.

Maybe I'll post my favorite Basho sometime.

The “pro-Christian” party and admin is arresting people at church and attacking the Pope for basically just quoting the Bible.

My New Pet Project To Distract Me From The Really Stupid Timeline We Find Ourselves Living In: I'm reading the original novels that were the source material for a few of my favorite movies. And how are all of YOU coping these days....? 🤯

China has warned its citizens not to travel to Japan, the first significant retaliatory move by Beijing following comments by Japan's leader that Tokyo could intervene militarily if China uses force against Taiwan.

#Postpunk history made this day in 1978 with the release of "The Scream" - the debut album by #SiouxsieAndTheBanshees

The new novel "What Friends Are For" sheds light on the history of abortion in Canada. Harriet Zaidman's book is a “nuanced, important, and unfortunately timely novel set in 1983 at the height of Canada’s abortion debate, following a young girl grappling with an unplanned pregnancy.”

"Teenage Wasteland" is maybe the best two-word phrase in rock history and frickin Pete Townshend had to name the song "Baba O'Riley"

Yes the only reason I post on IG is to share my love of #Jazz. (Though I'm partial to my game face on this pic)

Paramount, Netflix, and Comcast are putting in bids for Warner Bros. Discovery. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was, in the long run, a very bad idea with disastrous consequences. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”: wapo.st/448fDw6

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

I believe the phrase is --in the parlance of my youth--"double cold busted" 🟠🌮

Politicians: "Better things aren't possible so stop wishing for them." Me, who firmly believes a better world is both inevitable and worth fighting for:

Had occasion, as one does, to think on Shakespeare's sonnets this morning, which called to mind this bit of absolute gorgeousness from Judi Dench. In case you need some beauty: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XKS...

Almost got up at 2am make popcorn watch a movie Sandman was like ha!

Also don’t forget what they did to Al Gore in 2000. Made George W look like a great guy you’d want to have a beer with and made up lies about Al. It has been going on for awhile.

I will always and forever miss Molly Ivins.

It will never not be funny to me that an important writer like Joyce Carol Oates who writes captial S Serious Literature is also really good at posting. It's like if Stravinsky had lived long enough to be really good at Animal Crossing too.
