Taylor Swift is creating art in front of our eyes, let's celebrate that. Also, I'm opposed to masked secret police grabbing people off the streets, taking them to unknown locations, and deporting them without trial to foreign prisons.

If only giant networks could hire people who can understand Spanish. Of whom there is no shortage.
Alford: "On Bad Bunny - we're still investigating. There's info out about the lyrics. I don't speak fluent Spanish, but if it's true what was said on natl TV, we have a lot of Qs for entities that broadcast it & we'll be talking w/ the FCC. This could be worse than the Janet wardrobe malfunction"

That’s my photo on the front page of Wikipedia right now! I couldn’t find a decent (c) free colour pic of the pudding after I wrote a page for it, so I bought canned chestnuts ($15!) and made the damn thing. It does taste glorious though…

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

People often disparage the press — and we often get it wrong — but almost everything you know about this administration is not because pundits go on tv or social media and pontificate but because of relentless reporting from real journalists at institutions that give them resources to do so.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.
