T-BabyMan isn't going to take out all the fascists that need removing, but I appreciate the efforts he's making. At home and abroad.

Maybe he'll get some credit for it.

Really though, I'm not so concerned about the post-midterms chaos -- not our election outcomes and not even the conservatives screeching about their world ending -- but the actual existential crises. The many looming that no political party is capable of addressing.
In a TV appearance in April 2024, Israeli-American journalist and pundit Emily Schrader said, “I don’t know of anyone who is in the current Israeli government that would support any form of genocide.”
Parsing the disingenuousness of "it's not a genocide" denials is huffing from the gaslight.
“This Is How the World Sees Israel Now.” In this episode of Palestine Deep Dive, Pulitzer Prize-winning American writer Benjamin Moser, author of Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, and Irish journalist and commentator Barry Malone join Ahmed Alnaouq for a wide-ranging discussion on Zionism, anti-Zionism, media complicity and the language shaping public debate around Israel and Palestine. Drawing on the history of Jewish opposition to Zionism, the conversation explores Britain’s role in the Zionist movement, the politics of antisemitism and the silencing of dissent. They also examine the Green Party’s recent adoption of its “Zionism is Racism” motion and the debate it has sparked. With Israeli elections bringing renewed attention to Benjamin Netanyahu, the discussion also addresses whether a change of prime minister would address the deeper questions of Palestinian self-determination and equal rights. @benjaminfmoser | @malonebarry | @AlnaouqA

I do not expect those elections to result in any improvement in the lives of Palestinians.

As the veil between this reality and the next thinned this week, several of our beloved cultural icons passed through it and carried on ahead of the rest of us.
We knew it was coming, but it doesn't hurt any less. The Treksperts send their sincerest condolences to the family of our favorite curmudgeon; the lovely, funny, sweet, thoughtful New Yorker who will forever be immortalized in pop culture history as a Russian. #WalterKoenig https://t.co/nq9V08Fw00

Dolores Huerta, who with Cesar Chavez founded what became the United Farm Workers and led strikes and boycotts in the 1960s and ’70s that unionized many California table-grape growers, changing laws and the lives of thousands of migrant laborers, died on Wednesday at her home in Bakersfield, Calif. She was 96. https://t.co/5cq86QJb4t

We lost another legend today 😔 Susan Saint James, the Emmy-winning actress beloved for Kate & Allie and McMillan & Wife, has died at 80. There was something refreshingly natural about Saint James on screen. Whether she was playing a free-spirited single mother, the clever wife of a police commissioner or stepping into a dramatic guest role, she brought an easy warmth and independence that made her characters feel like people you actually knew. Her career connected generations of television viewers, from the prestige dramas of the late 1960s and the mystery shows of the ’70s to one of the defining sitcoms of the ’80s. Some of her most popular roles: • Kate McArdle — Kate & Allie • Sally McMillan — McMillan & Wife • Peggy Maxwell — The Name of the Game • Cindy Sondheim — Love at First Bite • Aggie O'Shea — MAS*H • Vivian Whitney — Carbon Copy • Jane — How to Beat the High Cost of Living • Tina Waters — Outlaw Blues • Joy McAfferty — Suits • Monica Bradshaw — Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Saint James eventually stepped away from Hollywood’s constant spotlight, but the characters remained. For generations who grew up watching her, she wasn't simply another familiar television face. She was part of what home felt like when the television came on. Rest in peace, Susan Saint James.

To celebrate the birthday of William Shakespeare, I’m sharing a few lines from my most favorite sonnet, Sonnet 116. I’ve converted a few of my friends to its cause, and I’m hoping you’re next. Cheers! You can hear the entire collection in “Patrick Stewart Performs the Complete Sonnets of William Shakespeare” available now: https://t.co/q5wEcT7vj2 @SimonAudio #NationalShakespeareDay
