watching CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD and had a chuckle thinking about the in-universe tell-all book about the aides who knew president ross was the hulk the whole time

Reminder that the Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted supposed anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone. Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018%. But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%.

A local author asked me to copy-edit his upcoming book. I'm flattered but nervous, as I've never done that before. Hmm.

I'm not sure why I tend to review movies slightly late to the release game, but I know that I need to improve on that score. Processing time needs to speed up a little?

Doctor's appointments are always awkward for my brother, and this morning's was a bit more so. Some slightly elevated health news has him stressed. As we both enter our 40s, I suspect more frequent updates. Getting back on that keto-ish spinach salad diet - maybe I'll share?

Here’s a direct link to New Zeland Radio’s story and interview on my latest film. Give it a listen! www.rnz.co.nz/life/screens...

This has nothing to do with anything, but I was just thinking about how much I love this moment on 30 Rock youtu.be/rUTC4lrdVVA?...

gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.

"But Joe Biden is old!!!" - Jake Tapper

I miss the New Orleans Baby Cakes (Zephyrs).

This feels like Alien vs Sexual Predator

Remember when we all said that the thing that's now in the public eye today was always true? Duh.

And she doesn't want YOU to know Ruby Bridges either. That's why she's there.

"One thing I would recommend is if you’re going to cancel your subscription to the Washington Post, don’t entirely remove those dollars from the news space. Take that money and at least invest it in an organization or a publication that you think is aligned with your values."

New — I wrote about the injustice unfolding before our eyes as rich reality stars are pardoned for their crimes while law-abiding immigrants are rounded up and caged by ICE, and the way communities are rising up to say fuck no.

"described it as “skewing” the ethics investigation process in favor of the person accused of wrongdoing."

What time of the work day does he get his chocolate milk?

Put this in the Louvre. Let Tom Hanks decode it.

Shalit wept.

Mine has the order speaker AI too. I thought it handled my words very well, including pauses and "just one sec" for finding other items. Purchase came out great. I'm no AI super-supporter, but in this singular case, it was alright. We won't get UBI before AI expands though, so f**k the system.

I asked my next door neighbor Wes Anderson what he thought about AI and he said if I was going to come into his yard I had to stand in the exact middle and directly face the house

I'm not often disappointed by movies. Perhaps I'm just too optimistic, wearing rose-colored glasses. It takes a lot to make me give a rating lower than 2/5. Maybe I should broaden my watchlist? Stream 'The Core' or something?

At this point, we should just publish our own newspapers with our own reporting and opinion sections because the news media seems unwilling to do their jobs or hold their work to any standards.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

The resistance won’t succeed until it stops being a performance and starts challenging the system that got us here. www.levernews.com/why-the-trum...

Hawley is a cowardly piss boy. That's the skeet.

"Biden was old but governed normally. Trump governs erratically *because* he’s unglued. That’s the true cover-up, one the media is enabling when they seem more concerned with the mental condition of a former president than the escalating madness of the current one."

It was me and Antigravity’s birthday yesterday! Best gift you can give us both is reading my deep dive into Citizens for a New Louisiana: The "secretive" far-right group who wants to control all of Louisiana’s library boards, and more. Available for free all around NOLA!!!
