Writer in Northern California. Finishing a play about the red/blue divide, based on my experiences since moving from a big blue city to a small purple town.
I really hope we’re coming to the part of the crime movie where all the criminals turn against each other & their evil plans fall apart.
I read the accusation below as Abbott having stolen $18 from public schools & thought even if that meant per student this was a weak argument. I think this graphic needs to spell out “billion.”
Not the best verb choice from the New York Times for this top headline story:
Even worse than I remembered. From: mysterymanonfilm.blogspot.com/2009/03/raid...
We are not stardust. We are not golden. We are lost. And we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.
Pick a Bond villain from the pictures you already have on your phone.
Save this to use as a response to the inevitable blowback to the inevitable celebration of the inevitable event.
Fun article about the (dying) art of movie posters. I got a taste of how differently foreign markets treat American movies when I saw this Italian movie poster for Hitchcock's "Marnie" hanging in a pierogi cafe in Krakow! www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
BBC published this photo of Andrew in a car after he was released from police custody. This is the face of someone who's never been held accountable for anything in his entire life...and now may end up sentenced to life in prison.
History repeats itself. Mary Ann Vecchio, witness (AT AGE 14) to the 1970 National Guard murder of unarmed protestors at Kent State, was falsely vilified by the GOP as a Communist & part of a "conspiracy of professional agitators responsible for the students’ death." She also received death threats.
This photo captures everything about the insane times we are living through.
Tesla (or Elon) thinks we’ve only been driving cars since the 1970s. Hey Mr Genius, “50 years ago” is 1975. From their new Master Plan announcement:
In 1899, one small directory could hold the phone numbers for all of the people in California, Oregon and Washington who had phones.
Just a side note, but men who put their arms around women’s necks this way should always be viewed with suspicion. It’s very different than putting an arm around a woman’s shoulders. The position Epstein is using (enclosing her neck) indicates possession and control of the other person.
Meanwhile JD Vance has the smug grin of a man who knows he’s just one cheeseburger away from the presidency.
Found a Harry Potter shopping bag when I was doing spring cleaning and The Daily Prophet news is looking alarmingly real today.
