my post from today-
oh man, this is a great memory.
dr dean was in town for a fundraiser, as were almost all the active dems in the state. he wanted to press the flesh w some locals b4 the thing. the a list was busy, the b list was busy, the c list was busy. so Sean Tenner called me.
i actually got to meet the good doctor several more times. im putting a pair of buttons i made back then in his pocket, and hes signing 1. 1 of them is him, w the words- brought to you by. theres pics of nickels and dimes and mice. the other is of bush. same words, only his is oil co logos, defense co logos. u get the idea.
the next time i saw him i asked him to sign the same button again. saw him at a couple parties at joe moores house.
he still speaks for me.

When I tell people Im a comics journalist, Im often met with a few misconceptions: that I write about comic books; that I pen satire; that my work must be for kids. These are flattering, but another misconception gets under my skin: the idea that drawing the news in this form must trivialize serious topics and stories.
My reply is simple. Read our comics, and see for yourself.
Since the Lily launched five years ago, weve published hundreds of intimate, funny, personal and important stories in the form of comics. And this year was no different. We published comics about the years biggest stories: Ketanji Brown Jacksons confirmation hearings, the 50th anniversary of Title IX, American gun violence and of course, the end of Roe v. Wade. We featured thought-provoking conversations, hilarious satire and cultural deep dives.

"Corridors Of Power" Doc: How Do US Leaders Decide Whether To Get Involved Abroad?
Oscar-nominated Dror Morehs bold new film Corridors of Power takes a critical look at Americas response to reports of genocide and crimes against humanity around the world. Decades after the world proclaimed, Never again in the aftermath of the Holocaust, Moreh shines a harsh light on that broken commitment with powerful on-the-ground footage combined with raw conversations with top American brass and political heavyweights from the last 40 years.
id like to see this. its an important question.
my fave xmas story-
david sedariss santaland diaries. i heard it the 1st time it aired, and many xmases since.
used to be a regular on this american life, and its precursor the wild room.
arrested development- is it just me?
i tried watching it a while back, for some reason started w the 3rd season. wasnt impressed.
decided to give it another try recently. liked the pilot, liked season 1.
but half way through s 2, i just cant. its the same joke, ad nauseam.
just me? does it get better?
name a thing u must have in your adult life cuz u didnt have it as a kid?
ill start- dogs. we had an almost magic boxer from age 4-6. took in a fox terrier for a minute, but when it snapped at me, he was gone. took in a neglected 6 mo old puppy when i was 13. it was 7 yrs of my begging, whining, and dragging home every loose dog i came across.
my 1st house didnt allow dogs, so i was 25 before i could get a dog. have had at least 2 ever since.
i will always pity my da, animal lover he was, who only had those couple of yrs w biff.
that face.
sorry for the bird link, but i figure theres still good peeps there who need puppy pics.
