Today in 1988, 35 years ago: the international pacifist movement Women in Black was born.

Call me crazy, but I am wondering if this whole conflict in the House with McCarthy was a tad fabricated to take the attention off of the J6 anniversary. The scene seemed a tad theatrical. I am wondering if anyone else had such a sense.

Oops! I did it again:

I created a Twitter account pretending to be Senator Ed Markey (with his permission) and applied for Blue “verification.”

And once again, Twitter took my $8, asked zero questions and gave the fake account a blue checkmark.

Read @washingtonpost: https://wapo.st/3VHo2Qg

Twitter said it fixed ‘verification.’ So I impersonated a senator (again).

Elon Musk said Twitter would begin authenticating users who pay $8 for Blue. Our tech columnist was still able to get a checkmark for an impostor Sen. Ed Markey.

So sorry to hear that Jamie Raskin has been diagnosed with b-cell lymphoma. I did read that, according to a description written by the American Cancer Society, it is an aggressive cancer but also quite treatable. Hoping for the best. Raskin is a great man and academic.

Old Paria is a ghost town in Kanab Utah that's been reappropriated for the filming of western #movies.

It's a very unique and beautiful area that's a little less traveled than a lot of the other #attractions in Kanab.

It's one of our favorite spots.

Originally shot in Black and White, here is the colorized version of The Nicholas Brothers in one of the GREATEST dance sequences ever performed!

From the 1943 film, “Stormy Weather,” the clip also features Cab Calloway and Orchestra playing “Jumpin’ Jive.”

Childhood prodigies, The Nicholas Brothers don’t get nearly the recognition they deserve. They were truly astonishing to behold!

Elon Musk is Still Silencing the Journalists he Banned from Twitter.

It looks like our accounts have been reinstated, but it's an illusion: We're actually locked out and can't post anything without deleting specific tweets the billionaire doesn't like.

Elon Musk Is Still Silencing the Journalists He Banned From Twitter

To you, it looks like Musk unblocked journalists like me. It’s an illusion: The truth is that we are still locked out of our accounts.
