A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.
Anyone wowed by generative AI should be given a teddy ruxpin with an assortment of ted talk cassettes and a quiet place to marvel at its wisdom
NEW: By electing Pope Leo XIV, some see Vatican making very American political play.
Electing Leo, one expert told me, is "a signal here that the church is taking a side in what’s happening around the globe" — namely, against Trump and authoritarianism. religionnews.com/2025/05/08/b...
“The pope will be from Chicago” sounds like an 1880s Republican’s dire prediction for if we don’t stop Irish immigration
God bless Pope Leo XIV. May he serve the whole church with grace and justice and offer the world a moral compass of compassion.
I like him already
Robert Prevost shared an article titled "JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others" in February
An old X post from the new Pope is making the rounds:
The IRS is making plans to rescind the tax-exempt status of Harvard University, CNN reports
We've killed tens of thousands and starved hundreds of thousands or maybe millions by gutting aide but at least we're paying more to do it
A screenshot of an article in The Atlantic called The Tariff Reality Test The preview reads: Trump backed down. His supporters think that was the plan all along. 13min
Stop writing articles about what Trump’s supporters are thinking.
All of these articles are untrue.
Trump’s supporters are not thinking.
And, lest you think I’m being uncharitable, that’s the most charitable read.

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering
16 now. Go Senator Booker go!
I'm not doomscrolling, I'm just sliding into anxiety's DMs
Two observations from watching White Lotus:
1) I want Aimee Lou Wood to be in every tv show I watch.
2) I’d love a Southern buddy cop movie/tv series staring Daniel Craig and Jason Isaacs
If you're only just learning of the joy of Walton Goggins because of White Lotus, I must implore you to watch his short film "The Accountant." It's an incredible story.
Walton Goggins deserves an Emmy for just the way he held his face in the scene on White Lotus when his friend explained why he decided to get sober.
Right?! I saw what my friends with kids were dealing with and if I hadn’t already decided kids weren’t for me, I would have then.
If you shop at a small business use cash so their credit card processor isn't getting your money.
Once again, it needs to be said that the Government Accountability Office is the legitimate part of the federal government whose actual responsibility it is to do audits and find efficiencies in how money is spent. They report to Congress, as is appropriate since they have the power of the purse.
Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.
Donald Trump will get away with everything the Epstein files would have exposed, because the Republican Party for all its family values/protect the children lip service, protects predators.
We are going to need @democrats.org to be less Methodist to deal with all that’s happening in our govt. I know y’all want to form a committee or pass a resolution that does nothing. But y’all have to actually do something.
It’s so beautiful. Have some tissues handy.
Our fridge magnet.

Her story is so incredible. I have a children’s book about her called “Nobody Owns the Sky”. I cannot read it aloud without crying.
