My God, look at all those glorious old serials, all airing at once! (At least I assume they were.) And Stella Dallas had a radio serial adaptation? I frickin' adore the movie. Even w/o brilliant Barbara Stanwyck in the role, I'd love to hear how the tale was expanded. Thanks for these recaps!

My AVG Antivirus is warning me when I go to my usual x.com/home link. (I only check there 'cause of some stubborn friends in my field whom I follow.) Claims they're trying to scam money. Which, y'know, they're not wrong. Refreshing my timeline throws the error: "Something's wrong, try again."

#PresidentBiden leaves DC. Music: "An Irish Blessing." May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand. #ThankYouJoe

Dona nobis pacem. And may the #ceasefire last past the inauguration.

Thank you, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Secretary Blinken.

I wouldn't mind a little such danger, myself.

Holy motherfucking shit, what does team ElonTrump have on Uygur's family to turn him into this disgraceful simp?! The horseshoe theory proves itself again. Yeah Cenk, MAGA's welcoming as fuck--until your family gets deported. Or was preventing that part of the deal you made to bend over?
