Spoke to a nonprofit today that receives ~$4M in grants; all paused (and it now seems likely to be terminated, if there is no USAID around after the 90 day pause). "Everyone in our sector is reeling...it is not an exaggeration to say children in Africa will die because of this pause." 1/2

So to be clear, Trump's mass deportation of "illegals" is going to target more than half a million people who entered America legally and have always been here legally.

@tgannon.bsky.social I immediately thought of you when I heard that Dick Button passed. The rapport you had w/ him was "must see TV". As a matter of fact, when Brian Boitano was part of the team, we called your crew "the three amigos in tuxedos". Thank you for being a part of a broadcasting legacy.

We currently do not have an FAA Administrator, because the previous one was forced out by the billionaire who got Trump elected and was given unchecked authority in return. He was forced out because he tried to fine the billionaire's space company for operating unsafely.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

PSA: There are two superb looking prints of Blow Out & Assault on Precinct 13 streaming on Amazon Prime. Was really quite surprised as it’s such a crap shoot on there. They are brilliant thrillers by Brian DePalma & John Carpenter in their prime.

Ian McShane on how he came to be narrator on Grace Jones’ Slave To The Rhythm: ‘I was in a chip shop with my wife Gwen, and Trevor Horn came in, who I’d known forever. He said ‘Ian, what are you doing after supper?’ ‘Why?’ ‘Well, I need a voice & Orson Welles is dead.’ youtu.be/Z0XLzIswI2s?...
