Just to say again:
I wrote a book about the cultural fall out of federal intervention in Hollywood in the 40s/50s (HUAC, SCOTUS, McCarthyism, FBI, etc). For Christmas films, it was a harsh turn into individualism and social conservativism because goodwill towards man is evil to conservatives.
Ooh that’s almost like a “quatre quart” except for the buttermilk part. Definitely making this this week. Thank you @peachplumbears.bsky.social
Gianni Infantino does NOT have a moral center when it comes to FIFA and money.

Russia and China must be jubilant with the results of all this.
Oh she is known in our household. I have a child who aspires to be like her.
I’m always kinda amazed about their inability to apologize.
A large explosion rocked an area of Iran's capital where thousands were gathered Friday for an annual state-organized rally to support the Palestinians and call for Israel's demise. Israel had warned that it would target the area in central Tehran. https://to.pbs.org/3P4JsJv
They can't control what's happening now, so they're trying to control what gets said about it.
