Nailed it. So moving. #Sandler #SNL50

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. This place has given me so much since I first picked up a camera in 2018. I remember my first visit and saying to my friend “I had no idea all of this was on the same island I live on.” #LandscapePhotography #Scotland #NaturePhotography

Diversity failed to walk my dog this evening, and did not clean up the kitchen after dinner. What the fuck, diversity

Every day now reality in America is like what if Lex Luthor and Bizarro teamed up in a world without Superman.

If you’re looking for a whimsical distraction, our movie is free this month on Tubi 🤷

We are ten days from this country being run by a party that wants to do everything in its power to demolish the federal government and its ability to help people, communities, and cities in crisis, and the only suspense is whether they will do more damage by malevolence or ineptitude.

Congratulations to Tom Holland and Zendaya on their engagement. One fun thing about a couple in the public eye is that we have preserved for posterity the precise moment Zendaya knew this was the man she would one day marry.

It’s not just Kamala that seems sad, I’m sad, you’re sad, our country is sad. It’s breaking my heart for what could have been.

2025: Into the Great Wide Open. Good luck to us all.

Lil is doing a bit of reading and chatting with me before we head down to the recreation Bronze Age roundhouse today and every time she mentions the Beaker People, I just...well... this:

A big celebratory Christmas is great but there is NOTHING better than a full goblin mode Christmas. Pajamas, blankets, junk food, movie marathons, crumpled wrapping paper up to your ankles and no plans to clean anything including yourself up until it’s not Christmas again. The best.

I swear America is a hot mess…….

FACT: The United States is the only developed country in the world without universal health coverage for all of its citizens - and that's absolutely shameful, especially for the most wealthy nation on the planet. #HealthCareForAll

Pretty accurate, TBH.
