What would you get if you crossed Stevie Nicks with a disco Muppet and put her in a remake of "Xanadu?" This perimenopausal disco witch, raw-dogging reality in glittery technicolor. She/her

Obama is still the most gifted political communicator of my lifetime and it isn’t particularly close

“How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking in the mirror in the morning? These are not serious people” — Obama’s audience in Ohio is hanging on every word as he skewers Trump and Hegseth

I've run into 3 people I know at the con today. This is the most people-who-don't-live-in-my-house human interaction I have had in weeks 😂😂😂 Also, Wembley Fraggle loved my glasses, so nobody can tell me nothin' today!

Also, just to illustrate how horribly the Duffer Brothers messed up the ending of Stranger Things: we have seen ONE person in a ST costume today. Last year, we would've seen dozens. We have seen more Marty McFly's sons from the future than we have seen Stranger Things fits.

As well as being a famous Hollywood actress JULIE NEWMAR — still with us aged 93 — was also a patented inventor, real estate magnet & classically trained concert Pianist. Here she is playing a bit of Chopin on the TV show ‘My Living Doll’ in 1964.

I get giddy whenever I see his name in the opening credits for something. I adore him

Tonight's Midnight Radio guest caller is legendary stage & screen star Austin Pendleton, veteran of 165 TV shows & movies, and untold number of stage productions, and acting teacher to several generations. You'll remember him from THE MUPPET MOVIE, MY COUSIN VINNIE, WHAT'S UP DOC? and SHORT CIRCUIT.

The symbolism here is hilarious & enraging. Hegseth, the “Secretary of War” who launched a war against Iran that resulted in the greatest American strategic defeat in history, was so desperate to drape himself in the glory of one of this nation’s genuine heroes that he literally broke the world.

Aside from being Wonder Woman’s birthday, today my other childhood power princess, Carrie Fisher, would have turned 70. It still breaks my heart she left us so soon, the world sure could have used her sharp wit and big heart to get us through the past decade of hell.

Top of the US charts today in 1979: Herb Alpert’s “Rise” — famously recorded in one take. Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental. As Miles Davis said: “You hear three notes and you know it’s Herb Alpert.”

I caved & bought an insulated wooden outdoor cat shelter with asphalt roof. It also has a heater but we don't really have an outlet for it. Someone seems to have dumped a new young cat in our neighborhood and we have been trying to be a safe place for them while we figure out the deal/what to do.

The new one is black & white like the older (fixed) one that comes around on occasion, but the new one has black that covers their ears & head down to their eyes. We had been calling them "Batman" for obvious reasons but it didn't roll off the tongue well, so we are working with "Keaton" instead.

And of course we feed anyone who wanders into the backyard. It partly helps us figure out who might have someone taking care of them vs full strays. Keaton is always absolutely starving the same way Phylo was, and a week of consistent feeding has already helped K look better.

We took in another that was really friendly--we think it was a pet that was dumped for being sick. After a month of crowdfunding to try and save his life, he died warm and safe in our home. Poor baby was too far gone by the time he figured out our yard was safe.

A neighbor dumped a 10 mth old cat last April, separating him from his bonded littermate. We took him to foster but had no luck adopting him out without FB, so he lives here now. We have to keep him separate from Puffin, which is awful. It's a better life than street life, but not as good as Puffy's

For anyone who doesn't know the lore--there are a couple fixed maybe-strays in our neighborhood that seem to have someone else who takes them in during the winter. We have been unable to befriend them enough to swoop. One I think passed this past year+

Trump rants like a lunatic at a women's health event: "That stone is so beautiful ... see the cushions? Those beautiful yellow cushions? Don't they feel nice? I have them specially made ... you have the new heliport and ballroom."

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

I can't even wrap my brain around the statement "history isn't political." Like, what?!?

Dr. William Horne@wihorne.bsky.social

I don't know what to tell you—history IS political. It tells the story of how & why the present & its systems came into being. If you're out here saying history is not political, you're either being duped by those in power or you're one of the bad actors.
