On April 19th, Congress will take a vote to overturn the will of DC residents -- and we need your help to stop it.

This resolution is another in a long line of attacks on democracy in Washington, D.C. -- which is made up of predominantly Black and brown people.

The left didn't "take over corporations".

This is a fairy tale the GOP tells itself because the truth, that the consumer mainstream simply has cultural values different from their own that corporations have to satisfy for their own bottom line, is much scarier to them.

I see a lot of people saying what DeSantis is doing to Disney World "isn't conservative." Perhaps not. But a great many conservatives were busy taking over government successfully and ignored the left taking over corporations.

Also, I think the discourse is way underrating how DeSantis will be able to position from the center (for a Republican) on things like public services, the environment, etc.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

yes, being criticized sucks. It's not fun.

what matters is how you respond to said criticism.

if you end up more closed off as a result, you end up with a serious negative feedback loop. and you end up out of touch. the world moves on without you.

do you know *why* i harped so much on "don't compare to other languages directly, especially in ways that just say "they're bad"?

for many reasons, but one of them is, once you get into this "x sucks" mindset, you lose the ability to gain insight from x

And finally, bonus trivia: SPINAL TAP was directed by Rob Reiner, cofounder of Castle Rock Productions; Castle Rock produced SEINFELD; Rob's familiarity with Fran probably helped her get hired as the stand-in when Estelle Harris (George's mother) couldn't make it to taping:

Next, the NANNY connection: The camp on Rita's show is called "Fleckman's," a name that would pop up again a few years later as @frandrescher's character in THIS IS SPINAL TAP ... and a few years after that, @TheRitaMoreno guested on THE NANNY as a tough gym teacher.

@MattBaume ("Matt Baume") replied to a tweet by @MattBaume:

The bathhouse connection: Prior to this, Rita was in THE RITZ, a film set in a NYC bath house & co-starring Paul B. Price...who she must've liked working with, because she got him a role on the sitcom a few years later. (Another THE RITZ co-star: John Ratzenberger, pre-Cheers!)

@MattBaume ("Matt Baume") replied to a tweet by @MattBaume:

First the BATMAN connection: The chef on the show is played by the wonderful Victor Buono, a gay actor who played King Tut on the original BATMAN series. Not sure I buy him as Egyptian but he looks like a million bucks in that sarcophagus!

So, you want more amazing (-ly weird) sitcom theme songs? Here's the opening to THE RITA MORENO SHOW, a 1978 pilot that didn't go to series (despite being quite funny) & had an absolute banger of a theme. It also has weird connections to BATMAN, THE NANNY, and a gay bath house...

@MattBaume ("Matt Baume") wrote:

I absolutely LOVE when a TV show has a premise so bonkers that the theme song has to explain what the hell you're about to see. Here's my favorite, because the song's a banger and if you don't know the premise ahead of time the reveal lands as an absolute SHOCK https://twitter.com/mattsutaaki/status/1647078412069249024

It's detailed and deftly bleak.
