ex- radio guy, 911 guy, now a pastor. Bald, gaining weight, usually need a shave. Jeopardy loser from 1995. Profile pic is me (in hat) in a college production of Bus Stop circa 1981. I feel better than James Brown. TIL I'm a Bluesky Elder.

If you want to know what's happening in the Israeli election, @timesofisrael.com's liveblog is a good place to be
Israel turnout update: 66.7% as of 6pm (polls are open until 10pm local time, after which the lines close and the polls close after the last voter in line as of 10pm has voted) WILD turnout. For comparison, 66.6% is the highest turnout rate in Federal elections since at least 2002

Two things: Please let’s not normalize antisemitism. Also, please let’s not normalize painting foreign aid as bad. Like, antisemitism and demonizing foreign aid are Right positions. Let’s not horseshoe into it.
El-Sayed disavows the ad. Good. Wish he also said it was bad, but I’ll take it. Cenk can go to hell. www.jta.org/2026/10/26/p...

The whole thread (not a long one) is worth reading.
History doesn't reset the day after Trump. It's not automatic back to normal, yay democracy won. We will still have a republic that is gravely wounded and bleeding out. Defeating the current assailant doesn't mean you've stopped the bleeding. The wounds are still there and still potentially fatal.

Unhinged: All of Ferris Bueller's Day Off was a fever dream/fantasy in Cameron's mind. Slightly hinged: CJ was the real shuttle news leaker in The West Wing. Toby knew it, willingly took the fall for her, and she coerced President Bartlet into pardoning him to save both of them.
What's your most unhinged TV or movie take? I'll start. Replacing "Yub Nub" with instrumental flutes at the end of ROTJ is Ewok cultural erasure.

I absolutely love the first 2 seasons of Twin Peaks but season 3 is HORRIBLE BC it was David Lynch at his absolute worst—he is better when he has someone to temper his self-indulgent impulses. I am still so angry about Douggie. And the end! And Audrey appearing in 3 scenes. It was not good.

Folks, what he's saying here is "if we get a bunch of manly man off duty/retired police officers as poll watchers, the evil dems won't be able to intimidate our poll watchers" It's stupid shit but not "let's get people to intimidate voters"
Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."

At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.

The Republican Party of Florida is threatening criminal prosecution of anyone who repeats a Leon County grand jury’s finding that high-ranking state officials diverted $10 million in the Hope Florida scandal. #DefendDemocracy floridatrident.org/florida-gop-...
Now I'm wishing I still had the set of Holly Hobbie glasses I collected when I worked at Clancy's Hamburgers in Tipp City, OH in 1976-77.
I want to know the thing in your household that has absurdly outlived its intended lifetime. Like these McDonald’s promotional plates from 1997 (!!!) that are still in rotation at my parents’ house. Or my Limited Too pajama pants from 6th grade that I, uh, still wear.

75 years ago this week, I Love Lucy premiered on CBS. For the 70th anniversary I blogged about why the show was as comfortably familiar yet just as badass & groundbreaking as its titular star, & I stand by those arguments for sure. + americanstudier.blogspot.com/2021/10/octo...

Thanks to @akivamcohen.bsky.social for coming on the show to talk about @glowlaw.org, and how we can start holding government lawyers accountable. The only way out of this nightmare is to rebuild the rule of law. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

"But if the center is now fragmented, it is also due to the corrosive effects of Macron’s style of governance, which he sold in both 2017 and 2022 as conciliatory, but which in practice has proved to be hyper-polarizing. The degree of that polarization is ... on display today." Gift link.
