Barbara La Marr in THE PRISONER OF ZENDA. Her publicity nickname "the Girl Who Is Too Beautiful" was allegedly (and creepily) coined by a judge who declared her too lovely to be alone in the city.

Can't watch this while our current media is so complicit with the evil being done by this administration. No one in a position of media power fights like this now. If the current mainstream media were covering Nixon, he'd have stayed in power. Katherine Graham must be seething in the afterlife.

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

This is the Beijing-Shanghai corridor, which takes 4 hours and 18 minutes to cover 800 miles. That’s the same distance as NYC to Chicago, which currently takes 20 hours by train. (Tansu Yegen)

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

If you're too scared to do what's right, quit. There's a lot of good Americans who have the courage you lack.

OK, so: Losing wigs & clothes never matters, acrobatics always win over embodying the song, and bodysuits are always fine, do I have this all correct for this season's lip syncs, #dragrace?

They blink a lot. They lose in court too. They are even feeling some pressure from within the party. Things are bad, but not hopeless.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

Americans HATED Jan. 6. That the political opposition wasn't able to harness that and turn it into a lasting defeat of Trumpism will be one of the defining stories of the 2020s, if not the century.

It’s way down on the list of concerns but the way he uses words like “powerful” and “strong” as catch-all adjectives drives me crazy. Social Security will be “powerful”? What? Is it going to fight Godzilla?

It's obviously important for elected officials to be accountable to voters. However, if I had a job where it took a bunch of strangers calling my office and telling me how to do things for me to make good choices, it would be fair to say I was bad at that job.

I rode in a car once with James Ellroy on the way to a screening of LA CONFIDENTIAL and he basically backed all of this up. It was a few months before the major Spacey scandal broke, but he basically intimated that Spacey was a predator on that set.

I keep saying this but... if you live in a big city and want to fight fascism, questioning what your mayor and cops are doing to unhoused people is an excellent start. Criminalizing people who have nothing is how nice urban liberals do fascism.
