There is an alternate universe in which Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise traded places after Top Gun, with Kilmer becoming the biggest movie star in the world while Cruise pursued weird projects and interesting supporting roles.
I'd rather have lived in that world, but I'm thankful for what we got. RIP.

I get it. But, a bumper sticker? Make a real statement. Get rid of it. Stop driving around a billboard for an immature billionaire tearing our country apart. There are plenty of other electric cars on the market now.

Thanks to a good friend for turning me on to this 2014 @motherjones.com article about Dr. Lee's attempts to help Americans understand we're dealing with a public health crisis in addition to a crisis of democracy. Yesterday, she posted about Trump-Vance-Zelensky.
