I was just surprised with a phone call from David Hogg. I had made a contribution to his "Leaders We Deserve" and he called to thank me. I told him I might not agree one every issue with the candidates they support, but I do think it's time younger generations had a seat at the table.
“The Odyssey” is one of the classics of Western literature. Nolan might have asked what made it endure, rather than treating it as if this was the cinematic equivalent of a Classics Illustrated comic book
Review – The Odyssey

The MAGAts are in full panic mode on X. Virtually the entire feed seems to be about passing Trump's voter suppression law and attacking Senator Thune for not cancelling the upcoming recess.
I know we're all looking forward to the midterms, but there's another exciting date before then: Friday, October 9. What's so special about that date? It's when Trump learns who will be getting this year's Nobel Peace Prize instead of him.
Today is the 67th anniversary of the release of "Plan 9 from Outer Space." You can celebrate with my book:

Clearly Spain is the better team and just as clearly the outstanding player is the Argentine goalie.
I am so tired of people not knowing the difference between a civii lawsuit and a criminal trial. Trump was NOT "found guilty of rape." He *was* found LIABLE for sexual assault which the judge in the case likened to rape. He *was* found guilty of 34 counts of financial fraud.
Spain goes to the final in the World Cup. Rooting for them. Trump will choke if he has to present them with the trophy.
It's not the movie that comes to mind for me. Wonderful actor and if haven't seen "The Dish" put it on your must see list. #filmsky

Remember that bipartisan housing bill that Trump was going to sign, and didn't because the Senate won't pass his voter suppression act? It's set to become law tomorrow WITHOUT his signature.
Just what the doctor ordered for today. A new Randy Rainbow.

A Terrible Thing Happened to My Family
Even in today's climate, there should be one fundamental principle everyone respects: whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave their kids alone.

Isn't it interesting to see the MAGAts shriek about the Reflecting Pool while they had no problem with pardoning the violent criminals who attacked the Capitol?
At this point -- in theory at least -- Iran *could* go all the way in the World Cup. What makes that an interesting prospect is that Trump is supposed to present the trophy to the winning team at the final match. #worldcup
