"I remember going to a record shop aged 15 and seeing this album cover of this woman with glasses. She had a man’s suit on at the time when it was so binary. I took it home and it was just so different and so cool"

Food for thought: Maybe the Epstein files are the real distraction from everything else that’s going on

The difference between Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson is just a few words here and there. Their fundamental beliefs and actions are pretty much the same

Ronald Regan Impersonator from Alpha House
Ronald Regan Impersonator from Alpha House YouTube video by TheAlmightPat

Whole gag in Garry Trudeau's short-lived sitcom "Alpha House" of a Reagan impersonator performing at a GOP Senate retreat. They're all lathered up for red meat, and the impersonator only delivers quotes saying nice things about immigration, etc.

McConnell is supposed to be the β€œquarterback whisperer,” but the Vikings are mediocre because of quarterback play. He’s the most overhyped NFL coach since Chip Kelly.

I’d rather win a Super Bowl here and there than never get close to playing in one but be known for grit

Does RFK have an alibi for the Chicago Tylenol murders in the 1980s?

If you fear retaliation from someone not given a peace prize, the retaliator didn’t deserve the peace prize in the first place

The Long Goodbye is better than I remember. Amazing photography of scene with Nina Van Pallandt & Sterling Hayden with camera outside the windows of the beach house and reflections of the waves. Impressionistic, oh yes.
