- Love it!!
- A must-watch.
- Maybe tonight I should attend an orgy, porn shop toys at the ready, while “Romancing the Bone” plays in the background on a super-sized screen. That aside… Anyone wanna take a bet what’s on this holier-than-thou jackalope’s computer? All that said, the fact this bill is no joke is scary.

- 💯
- Ask your average MAGA Republican for the definition of “socialism,“ and chances are they don’t know what it is. Ask them for a definition of “Marxism,” and you may end up with this… (Apologies to Groucho, Chico and Harpo, the greatest comedy team of all-time—w/Zeppo—IMHO)…
- A much needed win…
- Good Morning. Certainly goes without saying…
- Imagine our PINO (President in Name Only) doing the same…
- I’m just the messenger. babylonbee.com/news/trump-a...
- Better.
- The head spins…
- Know the truth…
- Sundae Gurl for the win…
- "For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...
- Good Morning.
- When a jackass makes sense it gives me a crimp in my neck.
- #Truth, courtesy of Rex Bain…
- For those of you who not-so-secretly post or whisper about Trump‘s eventual end… I’m going to share an interesting point made to me the other day: If his days conclude by anything other than natural causes, he immediately becomes a martyr. Pick your poison.
- Good Morning. Human rights abuses. Arts abuses. Constitutional abuses. Etc. Stocks are way up today. I’m in the market. But my financial status means nothing when a despot is in control and the bodies and minds of millions are chronically endangered.

- Same.

- Stocks are up due to the China tariffs talk and lowering to 30% for 90 days. To your point, however, nothing is out of the realm of possibility.
- So we’re clear: Making movies outside the U.S. is a “national security threat,“ while accepting a plane from Qatar is just a normal course of business. Got it. Glad we have our priorities straight.
- Good Morning.
- Evergreen.
- I know it’s not particularly appropriate… but now when I think of this scene from "The Exorcist”—incidentally still the most perfect horror film ever made IMHO— why do I think of holier-than-thou faux evangelical Trump cabinet members?
- A recent reverie: It hasn’t yet been 10 years, but a new domestic terror threat has arisen. It goes by the initials MAGA. Pres Hillary Clinton orders the immediate deportation of MAGA members into a max security prison beneath the frozen waters of Antarctica. I was almost aroused. Then I woke up.
- And those that are being purchased is still far too much.
- Spot-on.
- Good Morning.
- But how many stalwart Republicans will have the guts to leave their party? How many on the fence will vote blue? How many independent voters will get smart? As ever, soundbites are great but we still have work to do.
- It’s awfully cute when they turn on their own…
- “In the hopper” means “in the toilet” in Boston.
- Of course he did. Prick needs to stay in the news… www.rawstory.com/roger-stone-...
- And so we awaken to the same old horseshit, different day… No surprise.
- Speaks for itself.
- To those who consider #Bluesky a comfortable “echo chamber”… My unapologetic views do not always match those of everyone else. Nor should it. Free speech is everything to me. When I have in common with everyone here, or most everyone here, is a distinct loathing of global far-right abuses.
- The first American-born Pope. Surely, Trump will take credit in five, four, three, two…
- I’m a Jew, outraged over a growing Palestinian body count, convinced Netanyahu’s agenda is to consolidate his power in the Middle East. It’s as if the hostages no longer matter; nor does the global rise of Hamas sympathizers. Still, such masked intimidation serves no one. nypost.com/2025/05/07/u...
- I’ve always been the type of person where if I disagree w/someone, or as in this case I vociferously loathe someone, I’d nonetheless be able to give credit where it’s due. This is not one of those cases. The UK “deal” is a springboard, not nearly as big or important in itself as is being presented.

- I took your word for it and just did.
- Sense prevails.
- Nothing political for a change, just a fun Google Photos memory. During a wonky elevator ride in Las Vegas several years ago where it took nearly 30 min to get to our destination floor, The Rock’s (Dwayne Johnson’s) mom, Ata, and I were having way too much fun. And so we took some selfies…
- I’m working on my first film as an executive producer since my wife passed away. Moving forward, if I’m fortunate to continue on in my career as expected, despite being 61—it’s never too late despite all-too common words to the contrary—you have my word I will push hard for DEI hires.

- I’m sorry to hear what you’re going through. If it’s any consolation, years ago— twice—I almost lost everything. Financially, I was hanging on by a thread. Things changed because of my thick headedness. I refused to give up. For what it’s worth. To your last two sentences, I completely agree.

- Thank you so much. Appreciated.
- I began a Facebook post joking about turning to the MAGA side. Everyone knew I was joking; since the bastard’s reign as 45, I’ve been outspoken to the point friends & family worried about me. I couldn’t complete the post as intended. There is simply little to joke about as it re this current era.
- FYI. Barbara and I will be participating in Los Angeles.

- How horrifying is that?
- Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we all woke up one morning, Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens) was still alive and he admitted to us all that the Trump clown show was nothing but a special interactive episode of Pee-wee’s Playhouse?”
