@benmank77.bsky.social tonight you’re hosting THE WIZARD OF OZ on @tcmtv.bsky.social. If Dorothy had thrown a sandwich instead of a bucket of water the wicked witch might have survived & had her indicted on felony charges.

Rhino has released Genesis' THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY Super Deluxe box with astounding Dolby Atmos Mix & the full show at the Shrine in LA-- & I was there. I cover those items in my new essay as well as how the Musical Box and @stevehacketthq.bsky.social kept the album alive.

I love ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. I enjoy the offerings from HULU.

But I abhor any major organizations that bow to government censorship. Which is the reason I gave when I cancelled my membership this AM. (I don’t subscribe to Disney+.)

John Oliver urges viewers to boycott Disney+, Hulu amid Jimmy Kimmel suspension
"America's third favorite Zazu" noted that viewers could list the reason for their cancellation of the platforms as "refusing to protect freedom of speech."

RIP Robert Redford. While he delivered so many great performances (I choose THE CANDIDATE) let’s also remember him for his directing: QUIZ SHOW is one of my favorite movies.

Which Redford works would you choose, @david-rooney.bsky.social?

@maddow.msnbc.com tell us.

Conservative SCOTUS aren’t gods. They have to follow the law like everyone else. If they flagrantly & illegally are taking away the rights of people of color I WANT TO KNOW WHY FOLKS IMPACTED BY THEIR DECISION CANT SUE THEM!

FAUX BREAKING: It’s been revealed who the people were in that Venezuelian boat bombed by the Trump administration. Instead of the alleged drug dealers the individuals were actually Epstein victims.

When asked about this Trump replied, “Doesn’t matter. Either way a win for me!!!”

@david-rooney.bsky.social I wish I read your review before I tried to watch this. What a waste of a name cast. When Bill Murray shot some innocent guy in the head & the punchline was his brain matter falling off the wall behind him I was done. At least Murray vindicated himself with THE FRIEND.

When the USA gets a non-cult majority & Dems are back in power we should demand arrests & televised hearings that make the judgement at Nuremberg & the Watergate trials pale in comparison. Accountability will blast these assholes to smithereens, & their descendents will bear their shame.

Time for this 💩 to hit the fan & smack #COTUS in the face. Their job isn’t to legislate “morality”. They want to keep America homophobic & Christian, just as in the past they tried to keep it white & male.

If one is gay it’s not because they “chose” to be so. It’s just a facet of human nature.

This is what it looked like in Kirkland, a suburb just outside of Seattle. People are still streaming in from the starting point almost a mile away, over 90 minutes ago. At last count over 4000 protesters are here—& counting.

POGO by Walt Kelly included strips deemed subversive by conservative rags who would refuse to print them. I don’t know if this from 1963 was one of those but how prescient.

For a long time Yes influenced me in a number of ways, until they didn’t. In my essay at SER I explain how Jon’s performance with the Band Geeks in Seattle brought back the kind of energy and joy I hadn’t expected was possible, making it a show I’ll never forget.
Jon Anderson & the Band Geeks, April 14, 2025: Shows I’ll Never Forget
After Jon Anderson’s exit, I thought I'd never again experience the joy that Yes brought to me in the past. I was happy to be proved wrong at this concert.
