One of the darkest and most depressing -- but undeniable -- truths that have come out these past weeks has been that most Republicans would have gladly turned Anne Frank and her family over to the Nazis, and felt like patriotic heroes doing it. 😞

When you go see a movie that you know has an end credit scene and people nearby you get up to leave as soon as the credits start rolling, do you have a moral obligation to let them know they'll miss something? 🤔

Transphobes: "NO! I cannot suddenly use a different name for you! You can't just change your name. 😡"
Also Transphobes: "What's that, Cardinal Robert Prevost is now Pope Leo XIV? Got it, now and forever. 😌"

Thank you, Trump. Your blithering idiocy in targeting Canada just helped us pull together to avoid handing power over to people much more likely to lick your boots. #CdnPoli #CanadaVotes #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦😎

I saw #Sinners the other day, and honestly have been thinking about it ever since. "Incredible" feels like it doesn't do it justice. Everything is working top level, but especially the music and how it's integrated. That One Scene left me with my jaw on the floor. Bravo, Ryan Coogler, et al. 👏

It begins! Back at #StrawBaleGardening after a couple of years off. Today starts the 12 day conditioning process before I plant in them.

Thank you, Maxine and @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and @repyassansari.bsky.social and @robertgarcia.bsky.social for understanding the assignment. This is Democratic leadership. This is holding the line.

Got called for Grand Jury service for the 1st time & went through selection yesterday. I was literally next up to meet w/ the judge, when they announced they had enough jurors/alternates & we were excused. It would have been a lot (9-5, M-F, for a month!). Is it weird I'm kind of disappointed?

With the passing of Val Kilmer it was time to rewatch one of his movies, and I settled on Tombstone. A classic! "I'm your huckleberry" and all that, right?
I only got a few minutes into it when I realized... I've never actually watched it before, only clips and memes, apparently. Oops!

I'm no expert in crowd sizes, but holy cow, the #HandsOff Protest and march today in Portland (Oregon) might be even bigger than the Women's March. I'm hearing ~50K at LEAST, which is only downtown and not counting the thousands gathered around the suburbs at smaller protests.

I'm binging the #Sopranos, my first time watching it. It's obviously a great show, but holy cow every single person is just terrible.
Sure, there's the murders, abuse, and betrayals... but right now I'm particularly bewildered that that insufferable Meadow won't STFU about Finn's stupid suitcase. 🤬

Settle a debate: You have some leftover BBQ pulled pork, slaw, and buns, so you're making sandwiches.
Do you add cheese?

I love New Zealand for so many reasons, but chief among them is that everything is funnier in a New Zealand accent.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

This whole thing where people are discovering that they are suddenly following Trump and/or Vance on IG or Facebook feels like it's a trick to make all the people who logged out to boycott them go log in again to check. 🤔

Am I glad TikTok is back up? Yes, of course.
Will I give the credit to Trump? Never. If anything I'm very uncomfortable with the whole situation and the way TT has been genuflecting, even if I understand if they feel the need to. The whole thing feels icky.

On the bright side, it was the dulcet tones of @stephencolbert.bsky.social that broke the news to me.
