It may have been one of the longest SOTUs in history, but it was also the least watched (well done). A record 78% of U.S. citizens polled also believe the president lied throughout his vitriolic “speech”, which was undoubtedly the most dishonest to date (please, I implore anyone to fact check it).

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino.
They must all resign and be held accountable.
Best speech at Davos by far 🇨🇦 Please listen and share. This is what true leadership looks and sounds like.
Today marks the 5th anniversary of January 6th. I’ve never been more ashamed of my country. What should have ended Trump’s political career instead emboldened MAGA thanks to a lack of consequences. We must remember this day—to reckon with how fragile democracy is under a self-serving tyrant.

This feels like Trump’s “weapons of mass destruction” moment.
It was never about stopping drugs. If that were the goal, he wouldn’t be pardoning convicted drug traffickers.
You can’t make this stuff up 🤦♂️

Hearing of passing of Rob brought me to tears. His films had a huge influence on my upbringing—particularly Stand by Me and The Princess Bride. He also gave us This Is Spinal Tap, which I recently saw Rob speak at.
It’s hard to imagine a world without Rob, who for decades made us laugh and cry.
Film Review: Die My Love
Postnatal depression and the existential dread of working-class rural America collide in this meticulous psychological thriller. The stunning cinematography and career-defining performances from both Lawrence and Pattinson carry the film - read full review at boxd.it/bG27gP

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.
Why the delay?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
The stakes are high for the November 4, 2025, statewide special election – California voters will vote on Proposition 50, The Election Rigging Response Act, a proposal to approve new congressional district lines for the 2026, 2028, and 2030 elections. Vote YES on Prop 50!

At 27, I never imagined I’d make it this far. That superstition fueled me to live with intensity—artist, lover, nomad, producer, caregiver. At 28 came Decibel; at 40, reinvention under sunnier skies. Now, at 50, I’ve made peace with scars, traumas, and awakenings as one journey.

Hard to believe it’s been 35 years since I first saw Nine Inch Nails at Saint Andrew’s Hall in Detroit. At 14, Pretty Hate Machine cracked open my world and set me on a path of loving visceral, immersive live music.
Tonight’s Kia Forum finale was my 7th NIN show and miraculously, the best one. 🤯
Remembering Robert Redford. For so many Gen X kids, he was the quintessential leading man our parents adored. Beyond the screen, he built Sundance and championed the environment, shaping generations of indie film. Thank you for everything, Mr. Redford. RIP. #RobertRedford #Sundance
Here’s last night’s scorched earth episode of South Park, which is not only the funniest episode of the show I’ve seen in a decade, it’s the most scathing attack on Trump I’ve seen.
Matt Stone and Trey Parker are national treasures doing what the media is too frightened to do. Godspeed gentleman 🙏

Film Review: Superman (2025)
Let me preface this review by admitting that the last Superman film I watched was Superman II (1980), which my parents took me to see in the theater when I was five. Superman (1978) and its sequel were my introduction (READ FULL REVIEW VIA LINK)
The blood is on the Trump administration’s hands relative to the Texas floods. The gutting of the National Weather Service is absolutely to blame here. These deaths were preventable.
Freedom from kings.
Freedom from fascism.
Power to the people forever. ♥️
Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
New York, the world is watching as you choose between an old corrupt white man, backed by MAGA billionaires, and a young, progressive, social Democrat pushing to make the city more affordable and inclusive. Please, show the country and world we haven’t completely given up on a brighter future. 🙏
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
