Hot take: the way Tucker grills Ted Cruz in those clips should be the rule not the exception. If more of the media did this we would be in a much better place* (* = It should go without saying that we are not and never will be Tucker fans)

The mainstream media never does this basic fact checking of politicians, ever. The MSM's only agenda is to tease viewers about what might happen next, like a sleazy racetrack tout. "Will he do X?!" instead of "Does he even have a clue what he's talking about?"

Ever since Waco and OK City (at least), Democrats have been pussyfooting around the issue of rightwing Christofascist violence. They're afraid to call out this religious extremism for what it is, because they don't want to offend "Christians." But you can't fix a problem you can't (or won't) name.

Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes series.

Any Republicans condemning the shootings of Democratic lawmakers yesterday? Any?

Timely.

There's seriously no way he won 7 swing states...

Morosely wheeling a howitzer down Constitution Avenue just to feel something, anything

Guy just did for parades what he did for steaks, airlines, and casinos.

Republicans are weird.

Everyone’s got their favourite Sherlock. Basil Rathbone is mine.

has that dude had his little birthday boy tank man parade yet? it’s hard to tell because the only thing the news is showing right now is how much people around the country hate him

What's ahead is scarier still.

I feel like more people should be talking about this www.newsweek.com/2024-electio...

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

My cousin made these. Feel free to share.

I share this birthday weekend with Basil Rathbone, who I love. And with the *president, who I don't. Clearly, astrology is bullshit.

#BOTD Basil Rathbone, who cut the finest figure of any swashbuckling villain. Here he is in FRENCHMAN'S CREEK, as the deliciously slimy Lord Rockingham.

As always, Nina Mae expresses my mood perfectly.

Dear US Senate: you already had two chances to get rid of this guy and disqualify him from ever holding Office again. Don't blow it a third time.

Photo from the Pulse memorial gathering in downtown Orlando in 2016. We will never, ever forget.

I believe the production had just had its budget cut severely, and so everything was bathed in fog. Plus Brett was suffering from his illness, and his performance was muffled and weak. A major disappointment.

All sexual non-conformity is a political act. Which is why the worst people among us are always trying to stamp it out.

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

Longish piece but the discursiveness is part of the point.

Underneath Brian Wilson's sound -- the exhilarating harmonies, the unexpected rhythms and shifts and key changes, the dense layering of textures, the evocation of carefree good times -- there was always an undercurrent of melancholy. It drew you to him, made you feel for him, made you love him.

Yeah, who could have predicted this?
