I hate watched blonde and this is my take:
- Using this woman’s trauma in an exploitative manner is disgusting.
- Using this woman’s trauma to push your own political agenda is disgusting.
- Depicting this woman as a ditz when she literally wasn’t is disgusting.
- I’m not a director but aside from all of the discourse, it’s literally a garbage film… millions wasted on this film for what?
Let this woman rest.

Hi! Wasn’t sure if you guys knew about this, but some WGA members have donated items to be auctioned off with the proceeds donated to the Entertainment Community Fund.
Bidding on these items is a fantastic way for fans and fandoms to get involved and raise even more funds for the ECF, and can be done here: https://wgaragesale.ggo.bid/bidding/package-browse.
Could y’all add a link to the WGA Garage Sale to the list of links that fans can donate to? Or make a post that contains the full list of fandoms that have items that could be bid on?
There’s a lot of memorabilia that various fandoms might be interested in (things like a varsity jacket from Veronica Mars; the Seinfeld Finale script signed by all of the series regulars; picket signs made by Conan O Brien, Lisa Hanawalt, Loren Bouchard, and Seth McFarlane; a Teamsters jacket signed by Lindsay Dougherty; Colin Robinson’s energy vampire notebook from What We Do In The Shadows; a Conor Roy for President hat from Succession…) plus other intangible gifts like personalized videos, zoom commentary sessions, meet and greets, or even a speech written by co-head of the WGAw Negotiations Committee Chris Keyser!
A more general overview, with a video introduction behind the items given by the writers themselves, can be found here: https://www.wgaragesale.org/auction-items.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this resource! Linking below to the auction page. Check it out if you're interested in owning some super cool fandom memorabilia or rewards like meet and greets, personalized prizes and... John August helps you write your script?? Wow, maybe I'll have to check that one out.
We've considered putting together a comprehensive list of donation possibilities in the future, but that can easily lead to overwhelm and there are also a lot of pages run by other people that collect that info. Right now the WGA and SAG-AFTRA are really emphasizing the Entertainment Community Fund, hence the auction, since that fund also applies to non-SAG-AFTRA/WGA people who are also affected by the strike.

Sherlock fandom. John wants to buy Mrs. Hudson a present, and Sherlock is quite willing to help.
Expedition at nighttime
“Have you ever been to a mall before, Sherlock?” John asks one evening.
Sherlock who’s been sprawled on the sofa, sits up at this unconventional question.
“A mall, John? Whatever for? And besides, I don’t care for your assault on the English language by using American substitutes,” Sherlock scoffs.
“Oh, excuse me, Your Highness, but mall is quite a bit easier to say than shopping centre. Now, will you answer my question or not?” John proceeds unperturbed. 
Sherlock sighs dramatically and adds an impressive eyeroll for good measure before he answers.
“Mummy used to take us to Harrod’s to see the Christmas decorations, but it’s been decades. Why on earth do you ask? You’re not exactly a fan of shopping. Last time you went to Tesco I believe you had a row with a chip and…”
“Yes, enough of reminding me of that, thank you very much,” John states briskly and flushes adoringly.  
Sherlock just cocks an eyebrow at him encouraging John to answer properly.
“Fine. It’s just…I thought we could buy Mrs. Hudson something nice for her birthday next week,” John sighs and rubs his neck.
“Ah, yes! Tesco won’t suffice, I take it,” Sherlock muses.
“Sherlock!” 
“I was teasing you, John. Calm down. Well, perhaps I can be of assistance. The owner of Selfridges owes me…”
“Let me guess – a favour?” John chuckles.
Sherlock just waves a dismissive hand at him, retrieves his phone from his trouser pocket and sends a text.
***
John gets Sherlock’s text at his lunch break, and almost chokes on his BLT-sandwich.
We’re going to Selfridges tonight at 11.30. SH
They’re closed at that hour, Sherlock.
As expected, John gets no answer to his text.
Sherlock’s out when John gets home from the surgery, but there’s a note underneath the skull.
Be ready at 11 pm. SH
“So, I take it you won’t need dinner then,” John mutters under his breath.
Despite his exasperation with his best friend, he can’t help the tingling sensation in his body when he thinks about their nightly excursion.
True to his word, Sherlock arrives in a cab at 11pm, and John’s standing at the pavement in front of 221 Baker Street and waits eagerly.
When they reach the large building on Oxford Street, an impeccably dressed man greets Sherlock vigorously. John is actually quite proud of Sherlock for not insulting the man with an embarrassing deduction, but instead puts on a smile, everyone close to Sherlock would know is a fake.
“Mr. Holmes, it’s a pleasure to finally get to help you out,” the man says, still shaking Sherlock’s hand.
“Well, yes, Mr. Dougherty. I’m glad you are amenable to my peculiar request,” Sherlock replies, and succeeds to withdraw his hand from the other man’s grip.
“This is, Jo…”
“Come in, Mr. Holmes,” Mr. Dougherty says with admiration seeping out of every pore, totally ignoring John.
Sherlock stiffens immediately and a cold look in his eyes, tells John that Sherlock’s beyond annoyed. Mr. Dougherty’s clearly oblivious to the change in Sherlock’s demeanour and chats about trivialities neither John nor Sherlock comment on.
“I’ll call at your office when we’re finished,” Sherlock says and swirls around, heading to the escalators. “Come on, John.”
Mr. Dougherty gapes like a fish on land, and John can’t help but smirk. Flirting with Sherlock Holmes is one thing, disregarding John when Sherlock’s tried to introduce him, is a thing Mr. Dougherty might live to regret.
***
Being alone in this grand building with the lights dimmed, adds something mysterious to the whole experience. John feels like he’s in a movie, and he finds the shadows a bit eerie, but a glance over at Sherlock makes him grin, and he’s determined to enjoy this ridiculous ride.
Avoiding Christmas and birthdays himself, should’ve made Sherlock uninterested in buying gifts, but what John’s about to experience, is that he’s a rather skilled shopper.
Sherlock’s obviously memorised the map showing the different shops, and heads confident to the food department, scans the items for a few seconds, before he grabs a glass of vanilla honey and a gift set of different teas. He shows them to John for approval.
“What do you think, John? Will she like these?” he asks, his eyes glow in the dim light.
“You know she will,” John says and takes the offered gifts while Sherlock turns to the escalators. 
“Glove department, next,” Sherlock tells John.
John shakes his head in amusement. Sherlock acts like a child being set free at Hamley’s.
***
Sherlock’s delicate fingers stroke over smooth leather, and John must swallow hard at the sight. He’s placed the other items at a nearby counter and leans closer to look at the different gloves Sherlock’s picked out. The proximity and Sherlock’s unique scent, makes John’s head dizzy. Without thinking he moves closer and steadies himself with a hand on the small of Sherlock’s back. Sherlock inhales sharply and closes his eyes briefly.
“John,” he breathes, his deep voice stirring something in John. Something that’s lingered in the bottom of his heart for what feels like decades.
“Come here,” John murmurs and lifts his other hand to Sherlock’s jaw, cupping it gently.
A moan escapes Sherlock and his eyes opens slowly to gaze into John’s. He forgets all about gloves and pulls John to him with a tenderness John didn’t think Sherlock was capable of. He licks his lips and brushes his thumb over the perfect mouth above him. Sherlock’s tongue darts out and licks quickly before retreating.
“Tease,” John whispers, before Sherlock closes the gap between them and kisses him.
I just walked by the building last week, and it seemed only natural to let the boys have an unusual excursion to the posh establishment.

There was a time when the future of the musical theater looked like Les Miserables. Now it‘s starting to look like nostalgia. 
This standard bearer for the humorless quasi-operatic epic is back in San Francisco after a seven-year hiatus, like a visit from an old friend who isn’t quite as fascinating as you once thought. The touring production at the Curran Theatre is a perfectly respectable affair, but emotional connections have given way to cordial appreciations.
Victor Hugo’s sprawling novel is recounted in the broadest of strokes, like a phonebook sized issue of the old Classics Illustrated Comics. But watching how the musical manages to coherently communicate such an expanse of storytelling becomes part of the entertainment. 
Originally created as an outdoor spectacle for a Paris sports arena, Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil’s sung-through adaptation of Hugo was massaged into a more traditional theatrical format by directors John Caird and Trevor Nunn. Even if the ubiquitous turntable and the other devices they employed are beginning to seem a little yellowed at the edges, the economy and grace with which the story is told remains an impressive sight. 
The backbone of the show is Schonberg’s music that manages to lace battle hymns, lullabies, and personal anthems with a contemporary edge that doesn’t sound anachronistic. The music sounds important, but possesses a repetitive simplicity that makes it accessible in the moment and less interesting in the long run. The English lyrics that Herbert Kretzmer based on Boublil’s French originals can fall into simplistic rhymes and unexpected phrases like “What’s up?” but they fill the large emotional outlines set by the music. This is not a stripped-down production at the Curran, but a faithful replica of what’s been playing on Broadway for 14 years. The cast is a spirited, talented group that shows few signs of road fatigue. The sound, though, was often out of balance at a performance well into the Curran run. Ivan Rutherford as the noble Jean Valjean, Graham Rowat (subbing for Stephen Bishop) as the obsessed Inspector Javert, Joan Almedilla as the godforsaken Fantine, Aymee Garcia and JP. Dougherty as the comically sinister Thernadiers, and Diana Kaarina as their pitiful daughter Eponine all impressively inhabit their characters. But as the young hero Marius, Tim Howar can get lost in the crowd, and as his beloved Cosette, Regan Thiel comes up short with a lightweight voice and personality. Like all successes, Les Miserables was in sync with its times. But classics are in sync with all times. Victor Hugo’s novel is a classic. Its musical counterpart seems increasingly unlikely to become one as well. Les Miserables will run at the Curran Theatre through Sept. 16. Tickets are $17-$77. Call 512-7770.

Republican analysts and commentators blamed Donald Trump for the party's disappointing performance in the midterm elections when hopes for sweeping victories fell short.
The former president had endorsed hundreds of candidates in the midterm elections as he sought to cement his control over the party. But as of early Wednesday many were performing poorly.
The most prominent setback came in Pennsylvania, where Mehmet Oz, the Trump-endorsed Senate candidate, was defeated by Democrat John Fetterman, damaging Republican prospects of taking control of the upper chamber.
In a CNN interview, former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin blamed the failures on the poor quality of the candidates Trump championed.
"Are they going to continue to nominate poor-quality candidates to appease Donald Trump?" she said of Republicans.
Tumblr media
"If you want the Republican Party to thrive, we've got to just finally speak out and say, 'This man is a loser, he lost 2020, he's losing a seat that is winnable this time," she continued.
Scott Jennings, a conservative analyst who has been an advisor to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, said the results showed that Trump's hopes of winning back the presidency were a non-starter.
"How could you look at these results tonight and conclude Trump has any chance of winning a national election in 2024?" he said.
Caleb Hull, a pro-Trump communications strategist, said that it was time for the GOP to move on from Trump.
"I LOVED Trump and campaigned for him in 2016 but the guy has lost his mind and attached (sic) everyone in our party far too much to be a serious face going forward. The COVID-19 briefings did him in and now he's sealed it. Time to move on," he tweeted.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Liam Donovan, a former aide to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, also laid the blame at the feet of the former president.
"If this proves to be another Senate flop in a year that was otherwise favorable to Republicans — even if not a wave — it will again be a function of the candidates they put up, which was unmistakably shaped and steered by Donald Trump," he told The New York Times.
Trump has endorsed hundreds of loyalist candidates who have embraced his lies that the 2020 election was stolen. Many of them have checkered pasts and have pushed fringe conspiracy theories.
Oz had attracted criticism with a series of gaffes on the campaign trail and even recorded a campaign video from his New Jersey mansion while seeking to assure voters of his ties to Pennsylvania.
In Pennsylvania, Trump's defeated candidate for the gubernatorial race, Doug Mastriano, had associated himself with the QAnon conspiracy theory movement and attended a rally before the January 6 Capitol riot. Trump-endorsed Georgia senate candidate Herschel Walker's campaign was rocked by revelations he'd paid for a woman to have an abortion while calling for the procedure to be banned on the campaign trail. That race is in the balance and may result in a run-off vote.
Trump had hoped to use the successes of his candidates in the midterms to launch his own campaign to return to office in 2024, but much of the praise from senior Republicans Tuesday went to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose sweeping reelection victory was one of the few bright spots on an otherwise disappointing evening for the GOP Tuesday. He is considered Trump's leading rival for the 2024 GOP nomination, and Trump had attacked him in interviews on the eve of the midterms.
"All the chatter on my conservative and GOP channels is rage at Trump like I've never seen," Michael Brendan Dougherty, a Senior Writer at National Review, wrote on Twitter. "'The one guy he attacked before Election Day was DeSantis — the clear winner, meanwhile, all his guys are shitting the bed.'"

🌟 All Through The Night - FULL Short Film with Tim Daly 🌟

I can understand why Tim said it would be hard for Téa to see it (in reference to her dad going through something similar at the end of his life), because it is hard to see him like this.

Ann Bolton Moore
Artist: Boudon, David
1795
Savannah Georgia United States of America
Description:
SITTER: Though the backboard is inscribed “Mrs. Susanna Moore / Savannah Georgia” through research we determined that this is not the sitter. Two other related miniatures exist in a private collection. One of these is Mrs. Susannah Moore (1748-1810), an elderly widow. The second is of her son John Mauve Moore . By process of elimination, we determined that this third miniature from the group is John’s wife and Susannah’s daughter-in-law, Ann (Bolton) Moore (b. 1773) .
Ann Bolton was the oldest child of John and Eleanor (Dougherty) Bolton, of Kent County, Maryland. Records of Chester Parish in Kent County list the marriage of Ann’s parents and the birth of Ann and her five siblings: John (b. 1774), Robert (b. 1776), Edwin (b. 1779), Mary (1780), and Curtis (1783). In 1791, Ann married a distant cousin, John Mauve Moore of Savannah and moved to that city. She had one child who died young. The couple apparently lived with John’s mother, Susannah Moore, a wealthy widow. John died while traveling north in 1797. Susannah continued to support her daughter-in-law until her own death in 1802. Susannah’s will lists several large bequests of property to Ann. These include the house in Oglethorpe Square, near those of her siblings and several Bolton cousins.
ARTIST: David Boudon was born (1748-1816?) in Geneva Switzerland. At the age of twelve he was apprenticed to the Genevan copperplate engraver Jean-Daniel Dupre. By 1780 he was also working in metalpoint, a technique where a thin rod of metal is drawn across a surface to leave a line. There is some evidence to suggest that Boudon moved from Geneva to Italy sometime after 1786. In 1794 he emigrated to America, working first in Charleston and Savannah. His peripatetic career carried him to New York, Philadelphia, Alexandria, Virginia, Raleigh and Fayetteville, North Carolina, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Frederick Maryland. His last known location is Chillicothe, Ohio,
Boudon is known primarily as a miniaturist. The majority of his surviving works—50 to 60 in total—are silverpoint on vellum, although he did occasionally work in watercolor on ivory. His style, with its thin color wash over a linear image, reflects his early training as an engraver. According to his own advertisements, he considered himself more as a drafstman or “limner” rather than a painter.
REFERENCES: Nancy E. Richards, “A Most Perfect Resemblance at Moderate Prices: The Miniatures of David Boudon”, Winterthur Portfolio vol. 9, (1974) 77-102.
DESCRIPTION: Miniature portrait of a young woman. Half length, facing front, the woman wears a light blue dress, with lace ruffles, and waist sash. From her waist hang a watch and a châtelaine. Three strands of beads are around her neck and large earrings on her ears. In her curled hair are sprigs of pink flowers.

Post 0330
David Coleman, Nebraska inmate 213763, born 1982, incarceration intake (this time) in 2021 at age 39, scheduled for release on 12/15/2062
Child Abuse
A judge in Nebraska sentenced a man to serve a maximum of 52 years in prison after he filmed himself using a scarf to hang his girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter by the neck until she lost consciousness multiple times.
Douglas County District Judge Duane Dougherty on sentenced David John Coleman, 38, to serve between 42 and 52 years behind bars after the convicted sex offender and nine-time felon pleaded guilty to two counts of child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury. Coleman had initially been charged with first-degree attempted murder before agreeing to a plea deal with prosecutors that included dropping the murder charge.
Coleman, who reportedly blamed being high on methamphetamine for his actions, told Dougherty he was “mortified” at what he’d done.
“I’m very sorry,” he added.
Coleman was convicted in 2004 of attempted first-degree sexual assault of a minor and is listed on Nebraska’s sex offender registry. He had been out of prison for approximately 4 months on separate child abuse conviction—he left a child with broken bones and burns—when the abuse videos were filmed.
