Can a nation organized and governed such as ours endure? A whole world looks to see what we will do. We cannot fail their trust. We cannot fail to try.
I saw PETER ASHER: EVERYWHERE MAN w/ a mostly Boomer audience and was swept up in infectious nostalgia. Asher is a charmer, and a parade of icons make working w/ him sound like a gift. It's a fresh look at the British Invasion and '70s aftermath in the person of one of its unsung heroes. #FilmSky

Stuart Stevens is one of about three former Republicans who, from I can tell, have truly repudiated who they were and admitted their role in helping Republicans get to the DT era. [Kristol and Kinzinger are the other two. The other ones are just play acting. They’re still conservative Republicans.]

David Roberts@volts.wtf · 3d agoChina's net greenhouse gas emissions *fell* this past quarter. Why? Because rapidly expanding electric vehicle use is putting a serious dent in oil demand. We could do that too. But we're not. We have the slowest EV update in the developed world, thanks to Trump.

But if you’re familiar with McDonagh's filmography you’ll know better."

Again, Francis blew the doors off so Leo could set up shop - After Francis created the term ‘ecolological sin,’ Leo codifies it - to attack the environment is to attack your neighbours, especially the poor - this is singled out - & that’s a sin against God… www.americamagazine.org/news/2026/09...
