Watching the latest episode of Severance, I said: "Harmony Cobel sounds just like she's saying to Joan Crawford, 'WHY DID YOU ADOPT ME'"--and sure enough, every line Patricia Arquette went on to deliver chewed scenery in that same exact Christina voice.

I actually spent some minutes of my precious day today worrying about the pressing problem of ...hantavirus.

Good morning. I would like you to read this. I would like you to share it on whatever social media networks you use.

β€˜A chilling effect’: is Hollywood too scared to touch hot-button documentaries? This Sunday could see West Bank-set documentary No Other Land win an Oscar but it remains without US distribution, one of many challenging films facing problems

If you live in the U.S. and can't see this film, here's why. I supposedly live in the "land of the free and the home of the brave." I don't. I've also got no other land.

Filmmaker Basra Adri is a model of freedom and bravery. (Why is he unnamed here?)

Choose Democracy: resources to promote democracy Regular people can stop an undemocratic power grab, but only if we prepare and together, we choose democracy.

It's the least we can do. And then do one more little thing.

If you're participating tomorrow in the 24-hour economic boycott, be sure to make it known.

On "Choose Democracy"'s wonderfully helpful site, click on "Boycott Central" in the menu and click on the blue button to be counted.

Do you need a measles booster shot? What to know as a U.S. outbreak spreads A measles outbreak in the U.S. has grown to over 120 cases​​​. Here's what to know about measles vaccines and those who may need a booster.

Measles

If you were born between 1957-1968, your MMR vax was less effective than what came later & you may need boosting.

If you were born before ~1984, there's a small chance it may no longer be protecting you & you may need boosting.

I just messaged my doc to ask re: a "titer test" to find out.

If you want "information, insight and inspiration" from experts on global government overthrows & anti-democratic coups, bringing what they know to bear on what's happening here in the U.S., check out the reports being posted by the State Capture in America Analysis Network (SCAAN) on Substack.
