Alien, a 3 months kitten, sitting on my lap while I play Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg variations aria, BWV 988, in 2017. Alien is now 9 years old.

The number of Americans who apparently have a *specifically designated* bottle of champagne somewhere in their home is absolutely shocking

You can tell Monopoly is an old game because there’s a luxury tax and rich people can go to jail.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. And we certainly wouldn't have public executions. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It's about cruelty.

Executing someone is awful enough but it is beyond horrific that this regime aims to do a public execution. Or many.

Would you be on board with that plan?

This will be his legacy.

CALIFORNIA Vote YES on 40. Vote NO on 41 & 42 which will cancel out 40. I'm vegetarian--I won't eat the rich--but we sure as hell can tax them. yeson40.com

Trump 2.0 really fucked people living with HIV & AIDS.

The Resident Evil reboot was terrible. The last 1h30 of Hope was also very disappointing.

There is clear and present evidence that all agentic systems of a certain complexity may yield erratic and undesirable behavior. Consider, for example, the election of our current president.

Good morning #BlueSky from the nor’easter soaked NYC. 🌧️

It's almost as if the Maine Dems are trying to lose the Senate on purpose.

LOL -- The White House pool is boycotting Trump, but Real America's Voice is trying to fill in the gap. Unfortunately they haven't yet figured out how microphones work so Trump is still yelling into the void.

Don’t you dare @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov, do not cave. 5670 film makers put their necks on the line for you to fight this merger. Another 75,000+ and counting have signed to tell you not to concede in just 3 weeks. Please sign to send a message to the AG’s and Paramount. noparamountconcessions.com

OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

There were many ways in which the US and its allies could have responded to the horror of 9/11. But by building extreme security states, launching pointless forever wars and restricting domestic dissent, successive governments inflicted more harm on their nations than the terrorists could have done.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

"I'm sorry, sir. I just have one more question... This Natalie Harp - what exactly does she do for you?"

Even if there was, I'm afraid the anti-vax wouldn't take it.

I would hate to know what it costs after 6pm. Inflation is out of control.

Begging folks to wake up and realize that the massive increase in food borne illness and infectious diseases is not an accident. This was always the goal. The regime removed protections because they want “the vulnerable” to die. Fascism and eugenics go hand in hand.

Writers can get a bit carried away. Or not. #cinema

The California Democratic Party has officially endorsed a one-time, 5% wealth tax on billionaires that will be on the ballot this November. They're right to support it — and Gavin Newsom is wrong to oppose it. Here's why.

Huffpost mentions a new GLP-1 side effect - hair loss without any data as to its incidence. Is it 1% ? 10 % ? 0.01% ? Why would anyone publish an article without this data ?

Doctor Fauci is a hero. Neither my husband nor myself would likely be alive if he hadn't worked tirelessly on HIV/AIDS research and facilitated drug development. He was also the voice of reason during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those who denigrate him by extension opposes the concept of public helath.

Just watched the Odyssey in an XD theater with only 10 people. Not a single cell phone went off. 11pm weeknight shows are the best. The movie was great also, but took significant departures from the poem, especially the ending (no spoilers).
