Finally, someone who is eloquent and brave enough to call it like it is when it comes to antisemitism. Very impressed by this young woman. "Trump has highlighted and platformed neo-Nazis and white supremacists."

Program for WHISKEY RADIO HOUR at Chief ONeil’s. Loved it and was proud to do a cameo as Alanis Morís—- er—- Caunucky. #theatresky #chicagotheatre #actorlife #audiodrama

"If I had my life to live over, I would do it all again, but this time I would be nastier." Jeanette Rankin of Montana took her seat as the first woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on this day in 1917

SO wanted me to watch the new Daredevil. I typically promise 3 episodes to see if a show is worth my time. I worried that not seeing the previous Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Punisher, Luke Cage nor Iron Fist might be a problem for me but he didn’t think it would. I got ten minutes in.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES They have been STALWART and they need our backs and our sides and our voices and our swords, loudly and publicly!

I wish we could fast forward through this misogynist tradwife era and just get to the part where someone writes the feminine mystique again.

A guide to the cult favorite Adult Swim series Space Ghost Coast To Coast, whose voice cast was led by the late George Lowe.

Things didn’t used to be this way: “Today there isn’t a single state, city or county in the United States where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a median-priced two-bedroom apartment.” “Since 1985, rent prices have exceeded income gains by 325 percent.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/o...

Tourism dependent businesses in US should be getting very, very worried. Guns, disease, Trump - who is going to want to come here?

Everybody get your shocked face on real quick: "The study found that religious teens who attended gender-segregated schools were more inclined to have sexual experiences w/members of their own sex than those at coed schools: 12% of boys vs 7% in coed schools; 13% of girls vs 9% in coed schools."

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

How about some DRAMA in your Saturday morning cartoons! A.K.A. Actions have consequences. New Adventure is Nigh! Watch here:

In this culture of rampant consumerism, the library is a bastion of counter culture. There one can check out things for free. Great books filled with profound ideas are all available for free.

Watching #exu #divergence #criticalrolespoilers and the heroes reach a village By the Road’s End and my clever clever SO immediately goes ‘Byroden!’ And I’m sure he’s right but no one at the table got it, even tho Brennan said it twice.

Please read—this is becoming serious!

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

This is excellent.

The baddies have been sucking fey magic (purple) and transmuting it to grow their nefarious magical objects. There’s a sludge pipe for waste and a recycling circle to reuse some magic. #dnd #d&d #dm

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

#kittycocktail which is a mocktail fresh squeezed juice of 1/2 a grapefruit, 1 squeeze of lime, cold Fresca. Served in my Friend of the Year coupe from 2021. Time to do some #d&d #dnd5e prep . Yes, my Christmas tree is still up. What about it?

My article on voter support for disabled candidates is now published at doi.org/10.1086/732994. I find that left-wing voters in UK+US favour disabled candidates, while right-wing voters prefer non-disabled candidates - but only because voters assume disabled candidates to be more left-wing. [1/2]

One of the first big claim denials I experienced, I vented online, tagging my insurer. I wasn't sure if it would do anything, but I got it off my chest, but I circumvented administrative burdens of appealing and got it resolved. But why was it necessary?

My longtime colleague Rob Weinert-Kendt of American Theatre magazine asked me contribute an essay for the Theatre Futures series at AT. This was right as the @chicagoreader.com crisis was hitting, so the result is a bit more raw than usual! www.americantheatre.org/2025/02/25/s...

After 3 surgeries, a blood clot, infection & being hospitalized for over a week, the moment I was discharged I rushed to the airport so I could get on a plane to DC & vote NO on Republicans’ disastrous budget plan. Rep. Pettersen traveled from Colorado with her newborn son so she could vote NO. 🧵

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Come see me and the other @ebertvoices.bsky.social editors break down who we think will win, who should win, and who should have been nominated (BETTER MAN? More like BEST PICTURE amirite): www.rogerebert.com/festivals/if...

Huh, turns out you can't have private UNIDENTIFIED security assault and kidnap people because you don't like what they say at city hall Weird.

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

This happened once before, the first time DJT took office. That's when Melissa Harris Perry & Medi Hasan were forced out.

Roberta Flack, the Grammy-winning singer and pianist whose intimate vocal and musical style on “Killing Me Softly with His Song” and other hits made her one of the top recordings artists of the 1970s and an influential performer long after, has died.
