Everyone is gonna talk about ROCKY HORROR and CLUE, and they should, but if you can find it, seek out PASS THE AMMO in which Curry plays a grifting, horny televangelist who crosses the the wrong guy (Bill Paxton.) Has one of my favorite jokes ever: "The crack of dawn wouldn't be safe from that man!"

Pass the Ammo poster. Tim Curry, as a Reverend, holds a Bible and money, behind bags of cash, with a praying Annie Potts and a woman holding a gun. There's a stained glass window behind them with a dollar sign.Tim Curry and Bill Paxton stand in front of a guy chained to a wall with dramatic lighting (He's playing Sampson in an evangelical Bible play.)Tim Curry and Bill Paxton stand together on a stage with women dresses as angels behind them. Curry has his hands on Paxton's shoulders.Bill Paxton stands in front of a pack of angels.

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

A very simple diagram showing radar, a chaff cloud, a confused missile and an airplane. The confused missile is aiking for the chaff cloud and not the airplane.

A year since I held you last. A year without your green eyes, your swishy tail, your chubby face. A year without your lungs, all twelve of them. A year without your sweet, funny nature. A year without you. My Pumpkin Prince. Georges. (20?? - 2025)

In Bari Weiss' Free Press, Olivia Reingold reported from El-Sayed's watch party that "there were keffiyehs as far as the eye could see ... keffiyehs on heads, keffiyehs as belts, keffiyeh-printed phone cases." Not a single one made it into images from Reuters, a local ABC station, or Detroit News.

El-Sayed on Vance: Is that Peter Thiel's boy with that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy—after he said that Donald Trump had no business being president of anything. And then he decided to suck up to power.

Why do I mask? Yes, it's because I have an immune system issue and need to avoid Covid. But the real reason is 6 years of empirical data. I don't get sick anymore! I used to be sick multiple times a year. Missed several once-in-a-lifetime events I still regret. Mask means not sick? Gimme mask.

I work at the airport. I'm one of a dozen people i see mask regularly, out of hundreds. Those hundreds? They're complaining constantly about being sick. About making their family and friends sick. And they just accept that as a thing that'll happen. Like there's nothing to be done.

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
