Destruction of the historic Pioneer Square Pergola – vandalism by out-of-control "sports fans" – is disgraceful, it's shameful, disgustingly irresponsible, stupid behavior. Who will we be able to trust to defend our streets in the months ahead, when and if it's not a *celebration* happening? 🥶

Must return copy of fab ⭐️ Rickman diary/introverted observations: "Microphones summon the same person again and again to the 'red courtesy phone'—no seats on the 9:15 flight—heart sinks—hopeful passengers ask the same questions of ever-impatient attendants and muzak laughs and laughs up its sleeve."

"I'm sorry for nothing I've done" really is the stupidest thing a free man can say to women while he's normalizing crimes with arthouse cinema and profiting from public emotion. I am sorry to say it bc it sounds pro-censorship, but "curious geniuses" have had a long shadow on invisible audiences.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.
