Question: "You can call my ass a ham sandwich, but it'd still be full of shit." Answer: What's my favorite line from the new season of Reacher.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

“Intimations of death’s certainty are woven into the narrative, in recurring but varied ways that get the audience used to the idea that life on earth is brief and precious. Frith the sun gives life and the Black Rabbit takes it away.” www.rogerebert.com/features/30-...

I think we'll miss the days when actual people with a personal interest in preserving a family legacy and acting as caretakers of a creative endeavor were in charge, instead of corporate people who are just passing through.

My neighbor is a nice enough guy. He also told me today that he and his cousin dropped acid once and could read each other's minds. And that E Musk might be a descendant of an ancient Sumerian alien-human hybrid breeding scheme. Mm. All in all, an informative trip to the recycling bin this morning.

Oh, man! If you've never seen DEAD OF NIGHT, it's the granddaddy of spooky anthology films. Highly reccomend.

Radio personality Eddie Cantor in 1935 on the hateful radio preacher Charles Coughlin. Words relevant in many ways today.

Luka donating a half mill to wildfire relief days after landing in Los Angeles is pretty damn cool

Mom:

Looks like I'm never getting on an airplane ever again.

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Nic Cage has it right.

Many great scripts here! #scriptsky #filmsky #scriptsky+ Please check them out, along with my Naughty List script, BETTER NOT SHOUT: www.officialstuntlist.com/naughty-list...

I contacted my Senators & my Congress Person today to express my concerns about what is happening at the Treasury. I spoke on the phone to my Congress Rep's office. My Senators' lines were overwhelmed, so I sent them emails on their websites. Contact your reps. Make your voice heard. It matters.

To USAID and State Dept implementers: I know this is a tough pill to swallow, but staying quiet is not going to do you any good. Your best chance at saving yourselves is loudly telling the stories of the way you make America safer and more prosperous and pushing back on these power grabs in court 1/

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

First time seeing WILD AT HEART.

I got these for my 20th birthday. Which makes my boots older than many of my co-workers.

If you need to arm yourself with art, this is a great list. THE GREAT DICTATOR is a personal favorite and never fails to make me cry. I'd add SAHARA (1943), FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO (1943) and COOL HAND LUKE (1967) to the pantheon. www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/best-a...
