Still from Legasov's testimony in the final episode of "Chernobyl" in which Legasov uses red and blue cards to demonstrate the balancing factors stabilizing the nuclear reactor. Overlaid on Legasov is the text "Trump v CASA". Overlaid on the final card being pulled away, representing the water and xenon that are the last remaining elements preventing nuclear explosion, is "judicial check on plainly unlawful executive action."

And this:

"I didn't end his Senate career—he did."
“Is there a difference?” she replied. “If someone tries to do something to you unwanted?” From her standpoint, because she was at work—a professional woman deserving respect—his intentions didn’t matter. Franken has maintained that the woman’s story was the allegation “that killed me.” I asked her if his behavior was bad enough to end his Senate career. “I didn’t end his Senate career—he did,” she said. Franken was stricken when I related her comments to him. “Look,” he said. “This has really affected my family. I loved being in the Senate. I loved my staff—we had fun and we got good things done, big and small, and they all meant something to me.” He started to cry. “For her to say that, it’s just so callous. It’s just so wrong.” Rubbing his eyes beneath his glasses, he said, “I ended my career by saying ‘Thanks’ to her—that’s what she’s saying.”

And this:

"she felt certain Franken had been aiming to give her a “wet, open-mouthed kiss.” She told Jezebel, “I felt demeaned. I felt put in my place."
The first incident occurred on April 28, 2006, in Brattleboro, Vermont, where Franken was broadcasting a live show at the Latchis Theatre, in front of seven hundred and fifty people. When a local elected official came onstage to hand him an award, he kissed her. The woman, whose name is being withheld at her request, declined to speak to me on the record. But she told her story, anonymously, to Jezebel, saying that she felt certain Franken had been aiming to give her a “wet, open-mouthed kiss.” She told Jezebel, “I felt demeaned. I felt put in my place.” She said that, although they were in a public place, nobody noticed the encounter. But Christian Avard, a local reporter, witnessed it, and told me, “I think it was supposed to be ‘Thank you very much,’ but it looked like a bad kiss on his part.”

The New Yorker piece has some excellent context about the role of conservative media in breaking the story! This line resonates with me (re: the USO photograph)

“It wasn’t sexual assault, or rape, or anything approaching that. It was degradation and humiliation, and she had proof.”
text: Morning” did a phone interview with Jackie Speier, a Democratic representative in California, who said that, as a young congressional aide, she had been sexually assaulted by a chief of staff; he had held her face and stuck his tongue in her mouth. During the break, Tweeden said to McIntyre that this was what Franken “did to me.” Speier’s allegation, however, involved a boss assaulting a subordinate in an office; Franken and Tweeden were volunteers performing a scripted kiss, and he had no supervisory authority over her. Tweeden had access to the eleven-year-old photograph on her phone, and she showed it to McIntyre. “The picture is what got my attention,” McIntyre told me. Without it, he said, he wouldn’t have done the story, adding, “It wasn’t sexual assault, or rape, or anything approaching that. It was degradation and humiliation, and she had proof.”

Many films have asked the question, what if your dad was a psycho who loved you very much? This is the only one with the courage to have a sext scene.

"This how we do it in Chişnău, baby girl" #babygirl
Still from Babygirl, Harris Dickinson bears a short haircut just a little too short on the sides to be stylish, a dark hooded track suit, a white tank top, and a gold necklace. He looks dopily at Nicole Kidman (out of frame) with the classic blank gaze of a young man born East of the Carpathians.

@bookishnea.bsky.social i remember the accusations against Al Franken more like Wikipedia remembers: many women groped non-consensually at photo ops and events, one woman groped while sleeping.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Fran...

He sucked. Doesn't matter if he had left-aligned politics.
Al Franken smiles and gropes the tactical vest-covered breasts of radio broadcaster and model Leeann Tweeden in 2006 while she is sleeping.
