Already off to a GREAT start: when driving from eastern MA to Bennington, we passed right by a bridge in Brattleboro that is closed to traffic so wasn’t on my list. The Creamery bridge!!

Called my mom to ask if she had any first-personal memories of the Iranian Cultural revolution (bc she is certainly old enough to; but she wasn't a very... socially or politically aware person, in her youth) and she dropped me the GREAT info that Barbara Walters has an interview with the Shah

Here's the book's store page.
As I said in my quoted thread, if you've done a Garfield parody strip/image that went any way viral, there's a fair chance your work may be in this book too.

There is something desperately romantic and enticing about the “manic frenetic lab” montage and I will never not be susceptible to it
It grabbed hold of my brainstem when I was 8 with Frankenstein and never let go and that's how I became a Tony Stark fangirl

Get involved with your state and local Democrats.
Chuck Schumer might be a bitch but Linda the Safeway Cashier is not, and she is ORGANIZED.
I have found state and local Dems (MoCo, MD) to be the exact antidote to... lackluster... national Dems.
YMMV. But give it a try

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

it's funny that Trump is the only guy who can take a cave and make it into a even Greater L
Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"
