Creative hyphenate in Brooklyn who reads too many books and sifts through discount store items to find new sounds to record. Decent backgammon player. Friend to weirdos. Haters and MAGA types will be blocked.

I wish there was more energy put into canceling Ric Grenell rather than Timothee Chalamet. I mean, this guy has clearly done more damage to the high arts than some snotty and supercilious pretty boy mouthing off at a media appearance.

I had a ringside seat for the Iranian revolution. Foreign meddling didn’t work then either | Paul Taylor Even as the first western journalist to interview Ayatollah Khomeini, I had no inkling of what was to come. Perhaps we should have learned from history, says Paul Taylor of the European Policy Centre

A text out of the blue: "I love this line. Brilliant!"
"Oh, that's pretty good. What movie is that from?"
"It's from your script!"

I guess that's what I get for sending out a script to a beta reader two months ago and assuming that she had simply decided not to read it! 🀣🀣

1343 books packed so far and I'm not even at the quarter mark. And, yes, I do have a discard pile. I'm pretty sure the total tally is in the 7k to 8k range, but stay tuned!

We've seen another morning of increased ICE activity with DHS helicopter out and about in Chicagoland.

Feds have taken people from Humboldt Park and Ravenswood. Vehicles also seen in Rogers Park. ICE watchers are asking north side neighbors to get outside and keep an eye on landscapers & laborers.

Such an astonishing disconnect from what everyday Americans are currently struggling through. Such incredible incompetence and indolence in not knowing how to report the plain truth.

Issuance of F-1 student visas by the United States, to all countries, monthly through August 2025 (latest available).

The red line shows the start of the current US Administration.

Shutting out the world's talented young people will impoverish the future of every Conservative and Liberal American.

628 books packed so far. That's about 7 to 10% of the collection. I have three friends placing bets on the full number. Never actually counted the full tally until now. I'm thinking it's going to be in the 8k range, but we'll see!

Motherfucker, I was SO sure that you weren't going to invoke Wells ob Panel 3. And then you did, because you can't HELP but rev up the high dudgeon secure within that goddamned feud! So I laughed extremely hard before tendering the sage words WHY, GLENN? FUCK EM ALL?

Sorry, but FRANKENSTEIN is leagues better than THE SECRET AGENT. I truly think this film is a masterpiece. Loving this as much as I loved NIGHTMARE ALLEY. This film truly DID reinvent the source and is spellbindingly atmospheric and, unlike SA, KNOWS its vision. Guillermo del Toro is a genius.

Trump at his Miami golf club yesterday entertaining the Republican members of Congress with tales of his exciting super-fun war on Iran.

Failing to mention that in the first 40 minutes of his "little excursion," a U.S. Tomahawk missile fired at a school killed 170 girls aged 7 to 12.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

I recently found true love. Believe me, I am manifesting the other option with all available seductive energy. The color of a jumpsuit and the late booming voice of Charlton Heston saying "Soooooooon." Yes. We'll open our gift. Don't you worry. It is guaranteed.

They kill because they want to kill.

Not because they've been threatened, not because they're in danger, because they want to kill.

Seven Best Picture nominees down, but the worst by far is HAMNET, one of the stupidest and most historically inaccurate Shakespeare movies I've ever seen. (And I'm a Shakespeare freak!)
