He/him pronouns. Product of the 80s. I like noir, horror, soul music, rock and roll, a bunch of other stuff.

He is the President and he has been breaking the law with impunity, over and over and then flaunting it in public. The Supreme Court has said the only way to punish him is impeachment. Not impeaching sends the message that any president anytime in the future can do whatever the fuck they want.

They already did that twice and removal or revolution still didn't occur. By all means, say it's the principle of the thing and hell, I'll even agree with you, but that's all it is. Some GOP senators genuinely agree with him and some just think he'll kill them if they impeach but same result.

Wish @proton.me was not driving me away just when i've gotten used to using it but fuck corporations that force employees to use AI.

Switched to proton earlier this year to escape google. Was all set to move to proton duo and join my partner up. Not happening now, will immediately begin looking at other options. Enshittification sucks.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Bauza supplied the voices for Bugs Bunny, Charlie Dog, Daffy Duck, Dr. Peter Lorre, Foghorn Leghorn, Gossamer, Pepé Le Pew, Porky Pig, Road Runner, Senator Elmer Fudd, and Tweety. Incredible.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Massachusetts voters: I found this cheat sheet to be super helpful to get a quick understanding of the ballot questions this year.

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social

MA has a historic number of ballot questions. Here's a handy guide for the 9 statewide ballot questions this year.

Amy Madigan's character McCoy in Streets of Fire was intended for a male actor, maybe Edward James Olmos...Amy was in to read for another part and she made the case to Walter Hill that the movie would be better if McCoy was a woman.

Amy "Thunderjam" Chase@amythunderjam.bsky.social

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

All of the dialogue in Smokey and the Bandit was ad libbed. Sally Field said she never saw a script. Jackie Gleason was given complete control over his character. The scene midway thru when Justice and the Bandit meet in the truck stop was Jackie's idea.

ICE goons box a mother with her children in their car. ICE "takes" the mother, leaving her children on the side of the road. An ICE goon then takes her children in a white sedan. Where are the children now? Newark, NJ

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

DHS investigators not only took Ilhan’s cell phone, they took her computers, notebooks and her passport! These seem like important details. (You can tell who doesn’t read the full Wall Street Journal article: me.)

My second choice is Ron Perlman and Guillermo Del Toro in Hellboy 3 bsky.app/profile/bloo...

Bloody Disgusting@bloody-disgusting.com

Ron Perlman still wants to make HELLBOY 3. But only with Guillermo del Toro. Perlman tells Deadline, "I’m not interested in doing any other version other than finishing the trilogy with Guillermo. It would be so epic. I’m 76, and if he comes to me and I’m 86, we’ll still do the motherf-cker."

As someone who has spent a week in a mental institution it would really help me out to see some of y’all “allies” or whatever speaking out against the way the GOP tried to weaponize mental health with James Talarico. The Trump admin is trying to scare mentally ill people into silence.
