Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

Richard Chamberlain, the original Jason Bourne and John Blackthorne in Shogun died. He portrayed Allan Quatermain in both King Solomon's Mines and Lost City of Gold. My mom watched that Thornbirds crap who knows what cool shows might have been on the other channel. (March 31, 1934 – March 29, 2025)

It was such an honor to work with Richard Chamberlain on his final film, NIGHTMARE CINEMA, where @thejoedante.bsky.social riffed on the actor’s iconic ‘Dr. Kildare’ role in such fun and twisted ways. RIP, Richard. I hope you remember to stop and ask God this question when you meet Him —

RIP Richard Chamberlain. A favorite heartthrob of my Mom's back in the 1970s. Star of the hit miniseries Shogun and The Thorn Birds, back when such things were huge pop-culture events. Haven't seen either probably since their original broadcast. Wonder if they hold up?

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Himes: This is his life now. He’s nowhere near qualified for the position he holds, so when he gets on a Signal chat with his buddies and says, ‘We’re a go. Centcom says all in. F-18s,’ it just makes him feel really, really good. Sadly, of course, it puts our people at risk.

What the fuck are these idiots afraid of? America is at its best when it acknowledges its historical flaws, its present day problems and works to fix them. We’ve done this before. The nation - and the children of the country - must know our complete history if we are to build a better future.
