NYC expat living in the California Bay Area. Yes I miss the bagels. In the meantime I edit Star Wars books and need Real Housewives for sustenance.

Chotiner: Tell me what you found interesting about these vampires.

Documentarian: Well, it's just -- the group dynamics, I guess.

Chotiner: I can see that. I can see finding Nandor, Laszlo and Nadia entertaining.

Documentarian: Exactly.

Chotiner: So. How many people did you watch them murder?

Saw Bruce McCulloch at #SFSketchfest tonight and there was bonus Kevin McDonald, so that was good. Fun times in a room full of nerdy Gen Xers. Also I need to tell @infinata.bsky.social that there was a Winnipeg joke (not complimentary).

When I teach genre, this is a major frustration for me. Prestige/elevated/literary/etc are marketing genres! Every work has genre. But prestige works get marked as "not genre" because genre, like accent or race, is something you only need comment on if it's outside of the enforced norm.
A thing that often makes me see red is execs saying "but we're doing an elevated version of [x]." What if you... just did x? When an exec says "elevated version of" you can be pretty sure they mean "I think this is trash so we're trying to not do the thing you want but make you think we're doing it"

The Alabama House, not the US House.

But this is why I'm not big on "reforms" prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. They'll absolutely just apply the same thing to all of us. In the same bill, I would predict!

I know from experience that a kind nurse means a lot at a very hard time. It certainly sounds like Alex Pretti was one of those special people.
My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti

Absolutely heartbreaking

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

"What can Democrats actually do?"

- Vote against funding for ICE and DHS

- State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law

- Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE

- Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Our initial analysis is up.

The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.

He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...
