Such a handsome devil. A minute ago, his murder mittens were trying to shred my skin.

I spose I’d need to feel out my sister about it. I’m mourning more so because of their mutual loss and less about losing him as a brother-in-law.

My sister just told me she and her husband are going to split when my nephew graduates. Ngl, kinda devastated by this. He’s the kind of guy who took pepper spray in the face yesterday in VT attempting to prevent the gestapo from abducting a mother and child with deep ties to the community. 💔 💔 💔

It’s. It an easy watch , you’re right. But I’d still watch it all day long. It tracks, sadly, with our current timeline.

Rewatching ‘Fringe’ from the beginning. If you’ve never seen it, you’re missing out. Period.

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Hegseth is the biggest asshole since the person who invented the 'Split Screen' so we can watch a war and a commercial for gold coins at the same time.

Blind refugee dies in New York after released by immigration Immigration authorities say the Myanmar refugee was dropped at a "warm, safe" location, but New York officials say he was left outside a closed coffee shop.

This was just one week ago.

None of this has to happen.

And there's absolutely no one reason to fund it.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
