This is all cover for House republicans so that they can use not wanting to “interfere with an ongoing DOJ investigation” as an excuse for voting to not release the Epstein Files next week.

Some students drew me as Superman because of a T-shirt I wore the other day. I’m choosing to take this as a compliment.

With the "Poker Face" cancellation, I can't help but wonder if the real reason is a falling out between Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne over the latter's advocacy for AI in film. Thinking replacing the lead may have been a bridge too far for Peacock.

look, I’ll grant them this: it is a Situation.
My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)
According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

As another birthday approaches I increasingly think that, when asked for my age, I should just say how many years older than Jack Benny I am.
Tomorrow it will be 2 years.

I came to the story through Sarah Vowell’s “Assassination Vacation” (strong rec, btw) and I’ve been lecturing on the lifetime of failure that was Charles Guiteau for years.
It was really good to see a story that gives James Garfield his due. He was a remarkable man.

When watching old 4:3 aspect radio TV shows, I sometimes find myself wishing there was a way to add an overlay to the screen, maybe of a TV box of the era, so that you aren’t just faced with those massive black voids on either side of the picture. Oddly, I never had an issue with letterboxing.

If the Democrats proposed universal healthcare, but decided to call it “TrumpCare”, do you think he’d go for it?
I kinda think he would.

I'm just going to steal plots from "Thundarr the Barbarian" and Mike Grell's "Warlord" series for my fantasy TTRPGs and hope no one notices. That's fine, right?

NY area trans actors, this is your shot!
tomorrow we begin the process of casting the movie which is scheduled to be shot between January and April of next year. (it’s kind of a big production)
wanna cover all the bases and make sure we cast the widest net so if you’re in the NY tri-state area, an actor, and trans - I’m looking for ya!
