when all the mattel cinematic universe movies flop really hard it's going to make me feral when executives blame audiences and not the people who badly misunderstood the appeal of an indie director-driven, mildly camp spectacle and thought america was instead clamoring for a polly pocket vehicle

Is Maine… nationalizing the power industry?

This November the people of Maine will vote on creating the first state-run public power company. If the measure passes the state will buy out the assets of the two dominant for-profit power companies and replace them with a new public utility.

Sad but true: the only thing my 10 year old finds impressive about me is that I can do an OK (to his ears) English accent. Curious? Check out Left on Red's "Your best British accent" with @stylianosk.bsky.social and BS free Jonathan Havercroft https://www.spreaker.com/user/14957478/lor-ep-38

day 69 of the writers strike. nice. (say it back)

Thanks mom and dad for having the 7 o'clock news on, where they featured the Long Island shark sightings, and thus my younger, braver child announced "We're not going to the beach for a long time" (I hope this means for a week or two) 🦈🦈🙄🙄

Sitting in Astoria, reading Blood Meridian, when a woman in a DSA shirt asks me to sign a petition for the UPS union. I sign it and then we talk about The Sopranos. Love doing leftist praxis.

Went to the Jersey Shore, where I was reminded why I have not yet fulfilled my dream of becoming a professional beach bum
