I have a f*ing doctorate in epidemiology and I’m still so confused about how to pick a health insurance plan. Open enrollment should not be this hard!

A fun night was had by all when we went to see this opening weekend. Such a blast.
On this day in Horror History, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET was released in 1984.

I’ve been heading up a drive this week for donations of diapers, pull ups, wipes, and formula for our YWCA’s Baby Basics Closet.
This morning I bought our donations and it hit like a hammer to the head what it must be like to decide between food, rent, and baby essentials.
Help fill local needs.

Time after time, Homeland Security’s accounts of its violent incidents in Chicago turn out to be lies. Local journalists and a federal judge have done a good job of calling them out. I wish the national political media had the same level of skepticism toward “official” accounts by proven liars.
Judge blasts Trump’s Chicago border ‘Blitz,’ extends curbs on use of force that ‘shocks the conscience’
Judge Sara Ellis said Trump's Justice Department lacks credibility, partly because of a lie told by U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino.

Hellzapoppin’ from 1939 is hilariously, wonderfully insane and the precursor to many movies and tropes that are so familiar. Airplane and MST3K just for starters.
A must see that’ll make you smile.

This is from a video on X, showing inside the Broadview ICE facility when Noem was in town on Fri.
For context, she's in the central room with 15 workstations setup to process detained individuals, whether they were arrested by immigration enforcement or at protests.
See the orange triangles?

Love James Cagney. First watch for Howard Hawks’ The Crowd Roars from ‘32.
At its best during the race scenes with the human drama stuff falling flat.

Watched Blood Quantum from 2019 on @shudder.com today. A zombie movie in which indigenous people aren’t affected, but those around them are.
Linked is a good article reflecting on the history behind the film’s thematics.
Available to rent as well. Recommended.
