I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

BREAKING: Local Democratic politician pretty sure they can solve problems if you rush $5 donation before midnight tonight

If you are a liberal in deep blue territory, one thing you could try doing right now is figuring out how to replace your Democratic member of Congress next year. With very few exceptions, the typical safe seat Dem is not meeting the moment. Find someone who will and help them.

It is Not Bad. It is Good. It also has a pre-Titanic Leo DiCaprio stealing every scene, ridiculous cartoon violence, and Sharon Stone playing the badass hero bent on vengeance that is otherwise always played by some guy.

The end game is clarifying: target minorities and marginalized people to start a race war. This will distract and weaken us from being able to resist the real fight, the class war we are dangerously close to losing before half of the world even knows it’s happening.

Dear Mr. Musk, What we found out is that each one of us is 1. a brain 2. and an athlete 3. and a basket case 4. a princess 5. and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

When they say Kamala Harris wasn't qualified, do they mean she had too much pigment or do they mean she didn't have a penis?

Thank you for the boost! A bit about me. Love to laugh. Love to right wrongs. Need to protect my neighbourhood from Doug Ford and his oligarchy, creeping into the back door via satellite. #StrongerTogether #onpoli #CatsofBluesky #FightBackDammit

Hey, Dems in Congress, the reason we keep calling & asking you to do more is b/c we need you to do more. From our POV it looks like there’s no strategy & we elected you to represent us. If there’s something you need us to do, tell us & we’ll help but whatever you’re doing now isn’t working.

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

Ask yourself, “With the speed and precision with which Musk is ripping through our government, do I really believe there was any way in hell he was going to leave the election to chance?”

You cannot have a meritocracy without diversity, equity, and inclusion. How can you know if you have the "best person for the job" if you haven't considered everyone and given them the same chance?

To those that consistently discourage protesting because "Trump may invoke the insurrection act", he's going to do it anyway, regardless of what you do or don't do. Stop playing yourselves and more importantly playing others by blatantly discouraging any real opposition to the Trump regime.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

After all of this time. It only took one woman to completely shine a light on the hypocrisy of these “Christians.” We’ve always known they were frauds. Were fakes. Their faces and response showed who they really are. Greedy and demonic, hateful liars.

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

Dear MAGA, The inauguration will be a private affair. Just Trump & the broligarchs in the rotunda. No seating for you. No special events to acknowledge your support. Not to worry. There will be emails later urging you to buy Trump coins, shoes, bibles, hats etc. Keep that cash coming. Be best.

The real conversation everyone should be having about social media is who controls the data. It shouldn't be a corporation that has ownership over your identity, words, ideas, voice, who you see or who you talk to. Data belongs to you, it is created by you and should be owned by only you.

Mr. Lipton, produce exceptional reporting and let it speak for itself. But please don't venture into this space and pretend that NYT hasn't enabled deeply troubling double standards in coverage re: Trump. Trust and respect are earned. There's a reason we trust ProPublica, for example. Take note.

1 million seconds takes 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes and 40 seconds. 1 billion seconds would take 31 years and 8 months. That’s the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire. Elon Musk’s net worth is currently $414.4 billion.
