Donald Trump’s planning to accept a massive $400 million bribe from the Qatari government in the form of a new luxury jet. Join me and @standupamerica.com in urging Congress to block Trump’s “palace in the sky:”

Tell Congress: Block Trump’s corrupt jet!
Trump says it would be stupid to turn down Qatar’s megajet. What’s stupid is how blatant this corruption is. Urge Congress to block Trump’s “palace in the sky.”

Glad to have seen it, but ultimately disappointing—other than Cher’s song.

Torturous. And not in the good way. One of the worst films I have ever seen. Perhaps I am unenlightened. Or perhaps I have done the right drugs. But I hated it. Interesting but overwhelming soundtrack. Glad, I didn’t pay $19.99, but even at $5.99, I feel cheated.

A piece of Queer Cinema history with Fannie Flagg, Rue McClanahan, Candy Darling, and Gary Sandy of WKRP—in a despicable role. Not uncharming, but entirely believable for 1971. Will probably watch again sometime. A holiday classic??

Saw this in a film class at Watauga College: Maggie McFadden’s From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in Film. What an awesome class. What an awesome movie!

Surprisingly, the third seems the most entertaining of the three. The alternate cuts, behind the scenes, and deleted scenes made it more interesting to watch.

Season 2: Intriguing, dark, provocative… hard to follow. Definitely not linear. Lots of confusing skipping about. Lovely. www.imdb.com/title/tt1984...

Two times in the last couple of months @merriam-webster.com has completely erased my game statistics. Games are supposed to be relaxing, but when they do this shit, it ain’t relaxing. I’ve quit other word games before. MW, you could easily become history… remember Words With Friends??? #fuckyou

Fuck Target. I’ll be shopping at Costco a lot more!
Yes, a vile white supremacist DEI opponent occupies the White House, but guess who won't be occupying a Target ever again? Me.

This.
In fairness, many Christian Nationalists think the sermon was called "The Sermon on the Amount" and think Jesus spoke of lowering capital gains taxes, outlawing food stamps, and continuing to hate all the people you already hate.

Hmm. As usual, Tim liked it more than I did. It was cute enough and had some great characters. But it wasn’t MY BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING.

Trump Needs Public Cooperation to Enact a Fascist Vision. Here’s How We Refuse.
Our resistance to fascistic policies must be grounded in our sense of justice, rather than arguments about what’s legal.

Happy to report that the flags are at half mast today at Sheetz, McDonald’s, Tanger Outlets, and even Hate Chicken, all in Mebane. Of course the gun shop is not.
