Apparently, the Trump administration thinks they don't have to do something the Supreme Court tells them to do, just a Constitutional crisis here. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

When an attempt was made on Donald Trump’s life, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris immediately issued statements condemning the shooting and all political violence. The fact that Donald Trump hasn’t said a word about the arson attack on Gov. Shapiro and his family tells you all you need to know.

In the mid-1970s, US network drama was basically cop shows, doctor shows, and The Waltons--and Upstairs, Downstairs would trounce them at the Emmys year after year. It was such a big deal: Pre-VCR stay-home-on-Sunday-night appointment TV. RIP Jean Marsh, a trailblazer. deadline.com/2025/04/jean...

I'm sure it's totally a random coincidence that Josh Shapiro is Jewish and that the terrorist who did this to the Governor's Mansion did it on the first night of Passover when he and his whole family would be home. Just a coincidence, surely. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I can't be there physically but I am watching it right now in solidarity. This movie is very, very bad & I shudder to imagine how much cocaine was consumed in the making of it -- but it's very entertaining.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

The administration appears to be counting on the fact that English is not a person's first language. Makes it so the administration can do their dirt and the person won't understand what is happening to them. apnews.com/article/ille...

I saw this movie in IMAX last week, I cannot recommend it enough. When you feel how closely the 1972 of John & Yoko's experience resembles 2025, it will alarm you.

If you're looking for #ArtSky people to check out, I would highly recommend Johnny Taylor. I've known him a huge chunk of my life and he's one of my favorite contemporary American artists. Do we #FF here on BlueSky? If we do, he would be mine.

So Trump repeatedly violates the law and then, in response, the House votes to lean on the federal judges attempting to hold him to the law. Sounds like a very healthy democracy there.

Now, if the PTB do not bring Kilmar Garcia back expediently and without any more delays, then the levels of our Constitutional crises will only deepen. What makes me think they're going to drag their feet?

Seems like I missed this bit of news in the last few days: Disney agreed to stay at the Fox lot for seven years. That lease ends & will not be renewed, meaning there will be studio and stage vacancies at the Fox lot. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

“I voted for him but I didn’t vote for this to happen” is sort of like saying “I ordered a hamburger, why the fuck have you brought me a ground beef patty in between two buns”

Great and prescient catch. This was a complete abdication of Congressional responsibility, but also a convenient way to hang tariffs and the resultant economic crash around the necks of 216 Republican politicians.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.

People in my own family who voted for him are acting all high and mighty as if this is not totally destroying their retirement and putting their Social Security & Medicare in jeopardy. Can you guys give it a fucking break and just say "hey, we were wrong let's fix it"?

RIP Dave Allen (Gang of Four, Shriekback), one of post-punk's greatest bass players, and later one of the smartest people in the music industry. "Every act is a political act—the way we live shows our politics; what we drive, where we shop, how we spend our work and leisure times."

The refrain of "Big black nemesis / Parthenogenesis / No one move a muscle as the dead come home" has lived rent-free in my mind for almost 40 years.

Dave Allen was so good to me during the blog years. A kind, gentle human & a brilliant musician. Rest easy, Dave. www.stereogum.com/2303262/form...
