Beware, Mr. Armie Hammer. Elon Musk has made you and the anti-immigrant movie CITIZEN VIGILANTE available to millions on X. He has given rocket fuel to your personal comeback. But Elon’s motive is pushing fascist bigotry. Do not let Elon use you to promote that. Rockets can come crashing down.
In CITIZEN VIGILANTE, Armie Hammer’s true tattoos are on full display.
Masculine athleticism, inspired by Armie Hammer and styled by J.C. Leyendecker.
Masculine glamour, inspired by Armie Hammer, in the style of illustrator, Alphonse Mucha.
What happens when Trump’s fascism marries the south’s Jim Crow? Thanks to SCOTUS gutting voting rights, we may soon find out. There will be fewer Black and Latino elected officials for sure.
FEMA crippled, the EPA defanged, and climate change called a scam. Meanwhile storms rake middle America, and the parched south burns. But take no notice. Move along. Nothing to see here.
Orban’s block on EU’s big loan to Ukraine is removed with his election loss. Russia’s economy is cracking. It’s time for U.S. to renew our support of Ukraine.
The Epstein Class is in a sulk. Their war is an embarrassment, their stocks are plummeting, their president is decomposing, their economy is smelling like recession and their college grad kids can’t find a job.

The Portrait of Dorian Gray makes us ask, “What on earth does Steven Miller’s hidden portrait look like?” 😬
For the young Mr. Darcy, his first town-visit of the season caused a volcanic eruption of secret desires and hopes.
On this, Presidents’ Day, we celebrate all the OTHER presidents. 😑
To Justice Clarence Thomas: Are you pleased you gave this racist president near total immunity? Are you glad you undercut Black progress every chance you got? Are you happy now?
Olympics excitement is building. (Armie Hammer, on the ice and the slopes.)
Like a bloated spider, Trump sits at the center of a web of corruption in which favors flow out, and money flows in. (NY Times today)
Rome went bust after 500 Years. America’s going bust after 250. We’re beating Rome!
Welcome to The Epstein Wars, Part One - “Venezuela” Part Two - “Cuba”, is in production.
From Governor Newsom in the west to Mayor Mamdani in the east, Democrats are boldly rising in defiance of the tyrant.
Yuval Noah Harari says we fail at climate goals because our ancient hunter-gatherer brains are wired to disbelieve the climate can change so dramatically. Hence the lack of urgency.
No one does pig-baiting like Governor Gavin Newsom, and he’s going to run that hog to ground in the midterms. (Oh, the squealing. So much squealing.)
HOORAY for the Hoosiers. Indiana’s Senate defies Trump’s bullying! Hoping other states follow their example.
🎼 Oh he needs a little Christmas, right this very minute; sleeping thru the meetings, drooling on the Spinet…🎼. (Optional substitution: “Piggy” for “Oh he”.)
