Adding psychological realism to The Hobbit (plus logical world-building) so that it fits with Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings was always a mistake, but in An Unexpected Journey it at least manages to hold onto some of the original book’s silliness, songs, and wit. Thank goodness for that at least.

NEW: My staff got a new breakdown of who wins under the latest version of the Republican tax plan. See for yourself. Unlike Republicans, the numbers don't lie.
A bar graph titled tax cuts under the Republican budget. The X axis is titled household income level, one bar shows the tax cuts for a household making $30,000 a year or less, which is $151. The other bar shows tax cuts for a household earning $2 million a year or more, which is $308,763. The Y axis is labeled Republican tax cut and dollars.

After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

Tickets are available now for our performances at Arts on Site. This program features mostly ballet in various presentation and I think it’s quite interesting. There is live music with cellist Molly Aronson and a new work by composer Dr Nick Virzi.

I want to remind all queer people we have been through much worse and we overcame it! It seems hopeless right now but we must have hope. We must have each other. It’s going to be ok.

Today’s agenda is perfect- Gyro session in the am, ballet class and rehearsal.

We are at Arts on Site in April. This show is going to be wonderful and classical and whimsical. I’m so proud.
