Tonight feels like a good time to tell you all that, for me, the absolute lowest moment in the post election battle we endured to protect Michigan’s accurate and legitimate election results in 2020 was not when armed protestors stormed my home. It was the night of the Wayne…
"They're paralysed about making a decision." Why Los Angeles hasn't stripped @realDonaldTrump of his Hollywood @WalkofFameStar, even though city officials say they want to. theguardian.com/us-news/2023/s… @CD13LosAngeles @HollywoodArea @andrew_rudick
The @AcademyMuseum show on John Waters is a beautifully thought out, crisply curated labor of love with zip-up heels and pervy toilet paper. Run! (Or flee.) @GuardianUS theguardian.com/film/2023/sep/…
"One day you’re eating chicken, the next day you’re eating feathers." How the @sagaftra and @WGAWest strikes are eating into working-class LA, a city barely over the hit from Covid, now bracing for months of economic turmoil. @GuardianUS @BurbankCA theguardian.com/culture/2023/j…

"What we call “amnesia”, is really nothing of the sort. Nations do not forget centuries of slavery as a person might forget an umbrella. It is not a medical condition, but a political one They set about the task with great prejudice." bit.ly/3zdYxgq
"You’re one on one with these composers, working until two or three in the morning. There are no boundaries. You feel you have to do whatever they want." The scandal that Hollywood overlooked, exposed in @GuardianUS. #MeToo #Oscars2023 theguardian.com/film/2023/feb/…

Very sad to hear about the death of #JonathanRaban, a writer blessed with a tremendous ear, a mordant wit, and a compellingly unconventional imagination. He was also generous and kind and taught me a great deal, even without meaning to. theguardian.com/books/2023/jan…
"He’s a happy-go-lucky, friendly guy. It’s too bad some people mistake that for brainless." Bakersfield offers two cheers for its local boy made good. @kevinomccarthy #118thCongress #Bakersfield @GuardianUS theguardian.com/us-news/2023/j…
