TL review of Jon Robin Baitz's 2010 play, "Other Desert Cities," Cygnet Theater in San Diego. A disillusioned daughter comes home in 2004 to confront her parents with a memoir, aka, the "truth" about the suspiciously concealed death of her older brother. thomaslarson.com/publications...

Now RFK jr is in, I'm skeptical he can do anything to curb or ban ultra-processed foods, the cause of our obesity, a military unable to find healthy recruits, the falling birth rate (below 1.8), and an aptitude-deficit populace, ruled by Trump's daily TV show and Musk's social media newspeak.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why athletes praise God when they win and fault themselves when they lose? Did they not believe enough in His Supremacy and that's why they lost but did believe that little extra bit so they won? Is it why belief is contestable, its fervency measured only afterwards?

Today, another 9/11 for America. How many innocents will die in the deportation crossfire, how much of the air, the land, and the oceans will be further ruined by fossil fuels, and how many young bullies in grade school will see their future paths lighted. How many? Too many to count.

As much as I love and respect #RachelMaddow, if I try to watch five nights a week of her reporting on Trump's first 100 days, I will lose my mind, I will be unable to sleep, and I will hate American politics more than I do right now. I cannot risk it, not anymore.

Thomas Larson's latest, one of dozens of pieces now appearing alongside the new Dylan film, "A Complete Unknown." My thoughts (and others') on "Visions of Johanna." Read it before it drops behind the paywall.

To my fellow Media-Muted Democrats: I'm trying to go for 4 years with NOT hearing the voices of three deplorables: 45/47, Vance, and Hannity. I read papers, mags, online plenty. There's oodles of us who want those 3 silenced; if you refrain from posting their "clips," you're doing us all a favor.

The Cmte's "singular mission is to protect the integrity of the House." Releasing the scathing report protects its "integrity"? Because of the release? What about the integrity of the women, & the 17-yr-old? Cmte decided not to "risk" further victimizing the women by their testimony. Integrity? Pls!
