He’s not my favorite actor, but Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch may be the finest performance in an American film that I know. Thank you TCM.

This !!

JFK on why he founded USAID. “The economic collapse of those free but less-developed nations which now stand poised between sustained growth and economic chaos would be disastrous to our national security, harmful to our comparative prosperity and offensive to our conscience”.

In his takeover of the U.S. government, Elon Musk has prioritized going after programs most despised by Putin. (He has also taken down the USAID website so that you cannot read its reports.)

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

I am confused by this app. I have 95 followers, and yet I have 10 visible followers. I’m not fascinated by followers, but what is going on?

I know it is hard day, but for those whose celebrate, TCM and Jacqueline Stewart are doing a wonderful celebration about inclusiveness in country. Happy Reverend Martin Luther King Day!

David Lynch, America’s Jean Cocteau and more, passing is the saddest news in an brutal 12 months I thank him for giving me the most moving moments in movies and television. Rest In Peace. “You know about death… that it’s just a change, and not an end.”

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

for the potato fears not death

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

There never was a finer post President in the United States history. James Earl Carter, Rest In Peace.

A reminder, for no particular reason, that the Supreme Court sat on Trump’s immunity case for *months* before issuing a ruling.

Like clockwork with these clowns….go kill an unarmed Black man, get an invite to hang out with Trump in a suite for Army/Navy….welcome to AmeriKKKa smh

I’ve only been dipping my toe, but I love sky’s that are blue. Thank you all for a welcome. Less STD septic tank. More clear skies.

Uni ate a whole chicken today?
