From the video’s description: “These conservatives believe that the Supreme Court should reject the former president’s claim of ‘absolute immunity,’ which the Court is currently considering and would effectively place any president above the law for crimes committed while in office.”

The all-male, domestic terrorist group known as The Proud Boys is “rebuilding” after being degraded by January 6th prosecutions for crimes they committed. Come on guys, tick tock: you’ve only five months until your next coup attempt. Chop chop.

Found a solid through line for #character in a script an #acting #coaching client is performing soon. It's not the only basis the character could behave from, but it's fun and can be a solid jumping off point moment to moment. Gratifying to see their character developing into a whole "person."

Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft headed to space yesterday and the crew expressed gratitude to the hardworking engineers and ground crews for their hard work and gave thanks to Boeing’s Executives for not having them killed as whistleblowers.

In Britain, former Conservative Member of Parliament Julian Knight, who was suspended from the party over allegations of sexual assault, has announced he will run in the election as an independent. Seems to me he could start and run for the Sexual Assault Party.

davidaugust, 6 days ago to Russia

putin said to many news outlets that "Russia did not attack Ukraine, but defended itself" (TASS) I guess by invading Ukraine which somehow is not an attack. It's not even a good lie.

He also said "Former US President Donald Trump is being persecuted for political reasons, and this fact destroys Washington’s imaginary leadership in the sphere of democracy" (TASS). Mr. putin, is the imaginary leadership in the room with us?

The fascist milkshake brings all the proud boys to the yard,
and they’re like, “it’s better than yours,
our race, it’s better than yours”
they commit crimes, that we’ll have to charge.

Not good. "The Proud Boys are back. Four years after the failed effort to overturn Trump’s 2020 electoral defeat, the violent all-male extremist group that led the storming of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, is rebuilding and regaining strength as Trump campaigns to return to the White House..."

Turns out you can dial your global thermonuclear war to taste (extra crispy, life extinct-y).

Today I learned the United States' #nuclear #war targeting (Major Attack Option 1) was once designed to avoid attacks on the russian government so as to permit negotiations.

Major Attack Option 2 expands to include Russian #government installations, making talking down the conflict less possible.

Likely still like this, #russia needs to stop pretending nukes are toys.

Found while working on a pivotal scene with an #acting #coaching client cool discoveries about what the #scene has happening inside of it, in its turns and reveals. As my client wisely said, even if the final performance ends up different these are good pieces to find. I'm excited to see their #performance grow and deepen.

Boeing and NASA have indefinitely delayed the launch of Boeing’s crewed Starliner spacecraft. I’d tell you more, but worry I’d have "an accident" as a #Boeing whistleblower.

Pentagon spokesperson Major General Pat Ryder said that “Russia launched a satellite into low Earth orbit that we assess is likely a counterspace weapon, presumably capable of attacking other satellites in low Earth orbit,” and we know Direct TV has raised prices, but that seems like an excessive reaction Mr. Putin.
