This guy’s public speaking skills are so strong, I‘d consider moving to his state just so I could cast a vote for him.

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.'"

So Republicans want to yell at and threaten to imprison the scientist who saved lives, but are fine with the road kill enthusiast in charge of health and his trifecta of exposing Americans to measles, salmonella and explosive diarrhea? May their pal Lindsay save some seats for them in Hell.

The latest X-MEN ‘97 episode is an impressive piece of writing and animation. A great homage to ALIENS with a dash of the opening of PREDATOR thrown in. And the visual homages to classic Wolverine cover art… 10 out of 10.

Ghoul. You HAVE to watch this clip in its entirety after 0:50. The absurd and dangerous argument Russ Vought is making injecting CRT, DEI and political opinions into life-saving research is HORRIFYING.

TINA SMITH: Researchers in MN made a breakthrough in childhood cancer in Black kids with a grant. But it seems that according to your proposed rule, this type of research wouldn't allowed bc it's 'DEI.' VOUGHT: We are against DEI policies. We have intended to rid of them whenever we possibly can.

Don't buy ANY story about Paramount leaving LA. It's all chest-thumping, billionaire cry baby bullshit. Or, as a friend at Pmt put it, "The trades carry this water w/o question b/c it gets clicks. Ellison just moved everyone back to the lot, as he wants to buy a 2nd one. It's BS." bit.ly/4ynRXS3

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

If you’re like me, a writer struggling through a career/dream with no Plan B, this very inspiring, necessary thread from one of the best to ever do it should help. As a writer friend on a Trek show told me, “nothing worthwhile is ever easy. We’re all in the same boat, just in different seats.”

While meeting with a producer of LOOPER about my QUANTUM LEAP meets HEAT pilot that they wanted to make, we got to the 9 yard line on it when the exec asked: “Does it have to be time travel? What if it’s about physics or something?”

If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.

Multiple sources: Two additional spacecraft have been confirmed via satellite along the eastern seaboard. They appear to heading along the Northeast Corridor. On the upside, this is literally the ONLY way the Jets have any shot at making the playoffs this season.

Watching INDEPENDENCE DAY with my wife: ME: The level of royally screwed all us would be if this happened under the current administration… WIFE: Yeah but we’d all see a certain person die. Everyone’s at least got that.

There's a lot of ppl scolding those of us who rmbr the same ppl telling us Roe would never be overturned. Republicans never gave up on that & they won't give up on birthright citizenship. We're not celebrating b/c we know w/o an actual opposition party to stop them this is a Pyrrhic victory at best
