I'm so bummed.
Also, ESPN is a serious issue if you are trying to watch this Australian Open. Shitshow.
Duane Kearns Puryear, holding his panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It reads, in block letters: "My name is Duane Kearns Puryear. I was born on December 20, 1964. I was diagnosed with AIDS on September 7, 1987 at 4:45 PM. I was 22 old. Sometimes, it makes me very sad. I made this panel myself. If you are reading it, I am dead..." There are several great resources to learn about Duane, his advocacy, his family, his panel, and the politics of memory and re-creation, especially this one by The Dallas Way: http://www.thedallasway.org/stories/written/2021/9/19/duane-puryears-and-the-quilt-panel Duane Puryear died in 1991.
It's your birthday, Duane.
This is college in the United States. Video from inside a Brown University building shows the moment that police found a group of students who were sheltering after the shooting on campus. This isn't freedom.
What a prick
The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.
"We would rather be ruined than changed;
We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die."

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty
I loathe Miles.
Loins have asses?!!!!
Amazing performance. I also love her in "Shoot the Moon." Brutal film, brutal performance.
Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
CRESTRICTED] ORIENTATION FACT SHEET 64 WAR DEPARTMENT-WASHINGTON 25, D. C. β’ 24 March 1945 FASCISM! Note For This Week's Discussion: Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis; (2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work.
In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.
But who is filming after he eats the cameraman? π
I dunno- having to endure a bullshit court-side interview as your player is broken would be pretty tough.

Ten bed, long term shelter on the Upper West Side. It's a great organization.
But the Tracey Ullman Show was so good.

Not useful.
Itβs time to say it plainly. Americaβs leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.
Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

I loved the halftime show,
but if I'd never left my home town,
ignored history,
got all my news from right wing sources,
only knew ppl who looked like me,
and never read books,
and voted for an amoral lying racist,
I'd probably hate it as much as the FOX News audience did.
