Farewell to Susan Saint James (1946-2026) who brought warmth and wit to everything she did. Here she is in a scene from McMILLAN AND WIFE. She and Rock Hudson had such sweet, sexy, adorable chemistry.

the thing that has changed big time is most of the media companies are owned by straight up MAGA chuds doing outright propaganda. the NYT is one of the few that has old fashioned MSM brain bsky.app/profile/pope...

this profession has only gotten worse over the last 20 years speakola.com/political/co...

before the election, doing dogpile coverage on Trump's heavily documented and extremely plausible rape allegations would be Political and therefore improper. after the election it's time to turn the page, let bygones be bygones, look forward not backward, bsky.app/profile/hoff...

even NBC doesn't bother to put the substance in the headline though. naturally www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Some paper of record.

Alex Pretti's father: We wish Alex was alive. This administration has taken that away from us. What we've been treated to is cruelty. By Dan Rosen in the US Attorney's office, from the Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has ignored our letter begging for information. They've shielded Alex's killers.

I cannot believe that Eric Bauza has passed away, at age 46. We’d just talked about his life and his voices and his son. A shattering loss

1/4 of its workforce.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Every clip I see about Bauza is so heartbreaking, he seems like such an amazing dude. Also, we gotta bring back using voice actors for animated shows and not just celebrities looking for an easy buck.

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

he was right and he was right to say it

And the West in general, in case there was any doubt. What Kennedy said here is identical to what Dawkins said about Muslims in 2013. Old white men in particular have not had a single new idea in a long time. www.theguardian.com/science/2013...

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

Issa Amro, a Palestinian peace activist whose sister was forced to leave her home, told Guardian: “We are being collectively punished for something we neither did nor supported. Our suffering is being turned into political material for Israel’s elections while innocent families pay the price.” (2/2)

Israel has sealed off the largest Palestinian city in the West Bank and razed entire neighborhoods as retaliation for the shooting of two soldiers on Friday. (1/2) buff.ly/KXs9qLz

We need a Chicago mayor who will declare every day a different drinking holiday, and that’s why I’m announcing my write in campaign

Top states to watch for Republican lame-duck gerrymanders: Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida. NC’s GOP already adopted a resolution to enable passing new lame-duck power grabs and gerrymanders But if Dems break the Texas GOP trifecta, they could block lame duck power grabs by denying a quorum

If they lose power, expect Republicans in several states to strip powers from incoming Democrats, pass voting restrictions, and new gerrymanders. They did it after losing governors races in NC in 2016 and 2024, MI and WI in 2018, and KY in 2019. They preemptively did it ahead of losing IA this year

Hey look, that’s me! We can’t get everything we want done until 2029, but we can drag them into impeachment & oversight hearings, oust most unpopular admin officials, and force Republicans into impossible choices (both to help the American people & because GOP congressmen deserve to suffer)

My contribution to Cheesecake Factory discourse: Aryan Brotherhood of Texas gang members assaulted a mixed-race family. I identified one of them because he worked at a Cheesecake Factory and their Instagram page posted pictures of him. He has a back tattoo with SS bolts and phrase "Aryan Soldier"

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Trump never won Minnesota. 2016: Clinton 46.4%, Trump 44.9% 2020: Biden 52.4%, Trump 45.3% 2024: Harris 50.9%, Trump 46.7%

That RFK clip is ghastly, but it's totally consistent with the Islamophobia that has been coming out of this administration, including Trump's rhetoric about Abdul El-Sayed. They are all in on the hatred of Muslims because it's a formula that has worked before.

There can never be another "water under the bridge" administration ever again, and part of that is going to involve shaming everyone on board with this one - voters included - as the disgusting pig racists they are

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

Mississippi has the largest proportional Black population in the country. It's one reason the U.S. Senate race has seen millions in last-minute spending and high-profile campaign visits. n.pr/3WsYr3t

The largest chocolate manufacturers made the switch and hoped you wouldn’t notice but now the price of cacao is collapsing which threatens the economic stability of these countries. Anyway if you love chocolate here are some great African brands to choose from. www.tasteatlas.com/best-rated-c...

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...
