Blows me away how phenomenal LONE STAR is. Truly transcendent storytelling. Few films would dare have a sequence as goofy-yet-gut-punching as that third act moment between Chris Cooper and Frances McDormand. Says so much without having to spell a single syllable out. It’s just remarkable.

Maybe it's empty calories, but I still get plenty of enjoyment out of teen dramedy 'XO, Kitty,' which premieres its third season on Netflix today. My @tomsguide.com review:

There is no aspect of voting or the 2026 elections that Republicans are not attacking. This is an all out assault on democracy. My law firm and I are litigating in nearly 90 places to stop it with more to come.

The group Third Way accuses the popular progressive streamer of being a “Jew-hater.” His record, and an interview with TNR, prove he’s the opposite of an antisemite. trib.al/UgTxpZI

So excited to report that I got to visit the New Mexico set of DARK WINDS (one of my favorite shows!) last summer. It was a lot of fun to talk to and an eye-opening experience to watch the cast & crew bring this special, sensational AMC drama to life:

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

Vox's Ian Millhiser says the Supreme Court's 8-1 ruling in favor of anti-LGBTQ+ “conversion therapy” is correct because "talk" = free speech. So therapists can advise clients to cut themselves? Join a cult? Smoke crack? Become white? www.vox.com/politics/484...

It was mostly white people and old folks. But not all. IDK, I had some free time this morning and it was nice to be with some friends and neighbors for a while to let off steam. It was interesting to see who honked in support and who didn’t. 👀

One sizzling boycott comin’ up!

Global warming has accelerated “significantly” over the past 10 years, meaning the world may barrel through crucial global warming limits faster than expected, according to the study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

"'Send me a sexy pic,' Rep. Tony Gonzales texted Regina Ann Santos-Aviles, then director of his regional district office in Uvalde. Santos-Aviles replied that she’d had a rough week and 'you don't really want a hot picture of me.' 'Yes I do,' Gonzales texted, adding, 'Hurry.'"

Charlie Kirk repeatedly pushed the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory and regularly made racist comments in his public statements. If we can't call someone so explicitly racist "a racist" without getting fired, who else is off limits? Donald Trump? Nick Fuentes? David Duke?
