Fun, inspiring movie I just watched: Coherent on Amazon Prime. No super-famous actors. Shot for $50k. Terrific performances, great script. Not going to say what's it about because I didn't know when I started and it made for a great view.

Thanks to Donald Trump, we have corrections like “the baby was exposed to pepper spray, not tear gas.” Fucking monsters.
The @chicagotribune.com has updated its story to clarify that the baby was exposed to pepper spray, not tear gas
Shots fired at immigration agents in Little Village as residents confront Bovino, Border Patrol, authorities say
Community members once again confronted a convoy of Border Patrol agents led by Cmdr. Gregory Bovino as it moved through Chicago’s South Side neighborhoods.

The United States is currently suing the United States to prevent the United States from feeding American citizens.
The Trump administration has filed an emergency request with the First Circuit Court of Appeals to block U.S. District Judge John McConnell’s order requiring it to fully fund the SNAP program using alternative funding sources by today.

NEW: Trump now says he will not pay food stamps in November, even though his admin told a court yesterday it would make partial payments. The benefits are once again in jeopardy, as officials are back at court, seeking to force the release of full aid.

Does anybody recall Obama, last year, saying "vote for the Black woman"?
Winsome Earle-Sears on Obama: "Last year, he told everybody to vote for the Black woman. Well, here I am. Here I am and now he's singing a different tune. Hypocrisy all the way."

Here's the sweet lil' link to buy tickets to my comedy special taping.
Good news! I’ve sold 51 tickets. Which is closer to selling 0 tickets than it is to being sold out. November 18th. My comedy special taping. New York City. 7pm. The Cutting Room. Tickets VERY MUCH available.
Bluesky friends, everybody who comes to this special live taping gets a HUNDRED DOLLARS! (Not true)
I'm trying to use Bluesky to sell tickets to my comedy special taping. Don't make me promote on Twitter. I'd rather have an empty house. But it'd be so much nicer if it were full.
