Lots of the ads on MSNOW are actually run by the cable providers. MSNOW typically only runs ads for their own programs. Everything else is from your cable provider.

They have no idea what they are doing. The Library of Congress does not lend books to children. It is a research library and the research arm of Congress, a co-equal branch of government. Books do not, generally, leave the Library of Congress's reading room. Idiots.

Happy Pride Month from The Pentagon....

So much winning....

After 120 Years Stored in a Museum, an Indigenous Shrine Returns Home Taken from a First Nation community in Canada, the shrine recently began a more than 3,000-mile journey back from the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

Some good news for a change. Institutions can change and do the right thing.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.

This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.

The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Re: Tonight's episode of Drag Race. Lexi Love's realization that Suzie Toot is who she could have been - a theater kid who went to college and trained for performance - if she hadn't run away from home and struggled with addiction, was a quick but impactful moment in tonight's episode.

US National Priorities are decided through congressional actions, not by Presidential Executive Actions. Trump has majorly over-stepped his constitutional powers, and is not fulfilling his constitutional duty to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." He should be removed from office.

Congress decides what is in the US National Interest when it creates governmental agencies and passes budgets to fun the work of the agencies. The President can only approve or veto those legislative moves. He does not have the power to shutter agencies or do mass firings at agencies.

Quo Vadis (1951) - Official® Trailer [HD] YouTube video by TrailersPlaygroundHD

"Quo Vadis" is on TCM. I've given it the college try, but Robert Taylor as Marcus Vinicius is just an atrociously mis-cast actor. He seems like he's ripped out of a noir film and dropped in a sand and sandals epic. It's just bad casting.

David M. Childs, Architect of 1 World Trade Center, Dies at 83 The antithesis of a “starchitect,” he didn’t have a recognizable style. But as a partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, he helped transform the New York skyline.

Thank you for your architecture, innovation, and the persistence in pursuit of your vision.

I'm also hearing various Charles Lindberg speeches for the "America First Committee" and he sounds like Kermit the Frog.

NAZI TOWN, USA | Chapter 1 | American Experience | PBS YouTube video by American Experience | PBS

If you've not seen it, I highly recommend watching "Nazi Town USA" from American Experience. It's portrays the last time fascism came to America wrapped in an American flag and a Christian cross.

She has not been charged with crime. It is suspected that she was targeted by ICE because she co-authored an op-ed price in her college newspaper challenging the university administration on the Israeli/Gaza war. It would seem this is a violation of her first amendment rights among others.

Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts Student, Is Detained by ICE The university was told that the student’s visa had been terminated, its president said in a late-night email to students and faculty members.

A grad student and Rhodes Scholar was disappeared from Boston by masked thugs, and appears to have been flown to Louisiana without any due process. This is what authoritarian dictators do.

Another excellent and informational video from The B1M - one of my favorite educational video sources on the internet.

One of the biggest fails of the past quarter century was giving a platform for idiots - like Candice Owens - to spread their hate and stupidity.

I love this. They had me at "Space House". What an excellent restoration and rejuvenation of an iconic piece of brutality architecture.

I love this! What a stunning building and rejuvenation. You had me at "Space House"

Dollar Tree Is Selling Family Dollar for $1 Billion Nearly 10 years after buying Family Dollar for about $9 billion, Dollar Tree announced it would sell the retailer to two private equity firms.

For those keeping track, that's an $8B loss on the chain. I hope that Family Dollar can come surging back. They were always a step above the other dollar stores, and Dollar Tree diluted their power..

This is the man that right wingers think is the apex of American ideal. Beyond insanity.

If you are not protesting this shit, you are permitting it. Period. What will you tell future generations when they ask you what you did to stop this administration's crimes against humanity?

Spent the afternoon removing the hardware and sanding down my new secretary cabinet. I'm planning on painting it black, adding black and gold bamboo pulls, and attempting some chinoiserie painting on it. We'll see how this goes.

A message for Elon.

47 will not stop until he turns the USA into a shithole country.

America Chose the Monster We all make mistakes.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.
