We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements. Over and over and over. (thread)
(gift article) The headline is a bit off, as I'm not sharing any "anger" -- I'm just raising questions that victims and the public deserve to have answers to. nytimes.com/2025/07/19/opi…

I am so sad to read of the untimely passing of Malcolm Jamal Warner. He was the nicest guy and it was a privilege to have been in same company with him, sharing a directors’ panel along with Howard Gordon and Michael chiklis. My heart goes out to his family and friends. RIP…
Beyond shocked and heartbroken. Malcolm always greeted me with such a beautiful smile and a big bear hug. Can’t begin to wrap my head around this. My deepest condolences to his family. #RIPMalcomJamalWarner
We’re heartbroken to report the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner at the age of 54 from an apparent drowning. A generation grew up with Warner as Theodore “Theo” Huxtable. His portrayal helped redefine Black boyhood on screen, offering humor, vulnerability, and depth across eight…
What does Donald Trump’s ugly bill mean for Massachusetts? 30,000 clean energy jobs gone. $3 billion in lost wages. $6 billion ripped from the local economy. It’s a lose-lose-lose for working-class families.

If you happen to live in the continental United States and heard primal screaming this past Friday evening, I want to apologize. That may have been me. I was reading an article from the Anchorage Daily News in which Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) expressed outrage over Donald…
Today would have been my dad’s 74th birthday. This season carries gravity. Father’s Day, his birthday, and the anniversary of his passing all fall within 60 days. For me, grief has no straight path. It revisits, reshapes, and rises when I least expect it. But alongside it…
I don't care what AI is doing. You will have to pry my em dashes from my cold, dead hands.
It’s not like rental car companies have no idea how many people are showing up at the desk at a particular hour of a particular day. And yet I’m standing in a line of about 75 people at a rental car facility run by a major company. If I have to wait an hour, it should be free.

Actor Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump’s 2nd term: “We’ve lost decency. We’ve lost civility. We’ve lost respect for the rule of law. We’ve normalized verbal abuse. We’ve normalized bullying. Out the window goes character, integrity. We’re supposed to elect the best of us, not the…
NEW. The Trump-Epstein scandal isn’t going away. The crimes are awful, the coverup is real, and more will come out. youtube.com/watch?v=WaVreA…

Oh, how I wish they'd name it the Washington Epsteins just to screw with him.

‘Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”’ per allegations in a report from @hrw .
What I learned covering the abuses at Abu Ghraib in Iraq is that a system that encourages treating people like animals will eventually end up with abuse. A reminder most of those being held have not committed any crimes. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
Pretty sure I’ll never be using the phrasing “quite frankly” ever again after today.
