"Ideally, that's what you've got in an acting career is an equal number of dramas and comedies and an equal number of small films and big films."

Hi, it’s Al Franken.
I don’t usually send messages like this, so I’m hoping you’ll read to the end for a GREAT story.
Before that, though, I want to tell you about Peggy Flanagan.
She is unbelievably great and she’s running to keep Minnesota’s Senate seat blue.
Her end-of-month fundraising deadline is tonight so I’ll get to the point: Please donate now.

Can you do a favor for my friend @…? He was already having a lousy enough week with his car and his city falling apart when state troopers arrested his wife @… for protesting against the murder of Alex Pretti. (Arrested for what? AFAICT, they were just looking to make an example of some protestors. Just good old harassment via the legal system.)
Now the family has lost work and impending legal bills on top of that new transmission. I’m sure they’d appreciate it if you can chip in a few bucks:

I agree with the following but understand why folks would like to be private too!
Fernando Borretti:: "I Wish People Were More Public"
Probably not a popular thing to say today. The zeitgeisty thing to say is that we should all log off and live terrible cottagecore solarpunk lives raising chickens and being mindful. I wish people were more online and more public. I have rarely wished the opposite. Consider this post addressed to you, the reader." --> Read the whol…

I just finished Guild Wars: Prophecies. It took me 19.5 years.
I created my first character way back when the game was new, but I never finished the campaign. The upcoming Reforged update got me interested again. Together with a friend and 3 very friendly strangers we played through the remaining 3 missions.
From boss tactics to tounge-in-cheek comments about the dated cutscenes It was just the perfect MMO game night for me.

Just read two quite intense novels back to back, and was feeling a bit at sea about what to read next. My TBR pile was not enticing me.
So I got out my 30 yr old copy of Neuromancer, because it's always right!

U.S. scales back troops on NATO’s eastern flank
The United States has informed its NATO allies that it will scale back its troop presence along Europe’s eastern border with Ukraine as it focuses on security priorities elsewhere in the world, Romania’s defense ministry said on Wednesday.
The U.S. Army later confirmed the move but denied it was a sign of lessened commitment to NATO.
Depending on operations and exercises, around 80,000-100,000 U.S. troops are usually present…

All worry is laid to waste.
The endorphins rushing wild from the freezing water,
the music pounding through my body,
the caffeine,
the fucking ducks and the God-roiling sky
– no what-ifs,
no yeah-buts,
no what-abouts,
no caveats, at all.
I am made happy,
and that happiness is entire and incontestable.
And all the way home, I go
— to my beautiful waking wife
– on this, the best day ever.
Love, Nick Cave
