It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Happy New Year everyone! Let's create more art, share more kindness, and not take any shit from evil people this year. Let's take their oxygen away and not let them breathe one more evil thought nor syllable. I'm done with that. Also, eat the pizza.

Recommend this important film 🤎 But explaining why Indigenous women are disproportionately represented in the statistics of missing and murdered people in America is a terrible and galling conversation to have with an Indigenous girl child learning about the world.

Always well done and heartbreaking, TCM Remembers is, oddly, something I look forward to at the end of the year. Man, 2025 … sigh.
As the year comes to a close, TCM remembers the actors, filmmakers and creatives we lost this year.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.
That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most.
Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

Local CBS channel WBZ-TV not preempting the town hall with Erika Kirk to cover the Brown shooting speaks volumes. Also Bari Weiss is awful.
