Today, I'm making my favorite pound-cake which will be gone in 3 days flat. Guaranteed. 😋

Was able to catch George Clooney last night in the live Broadway performance of "Good Night and Good Luck." It was very cinematic is its art direction and production design and the cast was superb. 👏

Vance calls the LA protests an “invasion.” 4 min later, Miller calls it an “insurrection.” 29 min later, Hegseth threatens to send in Marines.

It’s like clockwork. They’ve chomped at the bit for months for a pretext to declare martial law under pretext of insurrection/invasion.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Here’s what you need to know about what’s going on in Los Angeles.

The state and city have the means to control the protests. Donald Trump is getting involved to intentionally make the situation more violent. And potentially to create a pretext for some sort of martial law.

Chicago will soon be home to a global monument designed to honor those killed by the virus and pay tribute to frontline workers who risked their lives during the pandemic.

We're expecting a kind of ice storm here in the Midlands. Please be careful driving, walking or just trying to get around.🧊

Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.

In memory of David Lynch, we will continue to explore the otherworldly and the unknown. We will focus not on the loss, but on what we gained from the years we shared this planet with you. We will see you in our dreams.

not Lynch's movie, i know, but god, what a sendoff

[Ben Stiller @BenStiller]

As #Severance season 2 finally streams tonight, I just wanted to say thanks to all the incredible devoted fans who have waited so long and stuck with us.

Our hope is you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it. It’s never finished till you engage with it.

So excited for the dialogue to finally begin.

David Lynch’s “most uncanny talent,” Howard Fishman writes, was his “ability to plug into the socket of our collective unconscious, generating sparks that light up the dark of our waking lives, offering glimpses of the great unknown we carry within.” https://t.co/9CrFRuRhzP

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

I voted for Mattis.
I voted for Esper.

But Hegseth has never led thousands of people, like Mattis had. He never ran the entire Army, like Esper did.

No, the only things Hegseth has ever run, he’s run into the ground.

For these reasons and more, I will vote no.

[Mel Brooks @MelBrooks]

David Lynch - A huge and sad loss. A remarkably unique and very talented filmmaker. It was such a truly great pleasure to work with him. If his name was in the credits, you knew the film was really worth seeing. I will miss him.

“Donald Trump is going to turn the Oval Office into eBay,” Rahm Emanuel, America’s ambassador to Japan, says on The @EzraKlein Show. “He is going to sell it to every special interest, and you’re going to be left paying that tab.”

Happy 206th Birthday, Illinois!

On December 3, 1818, we became the 21st state to join the Union.

It’s an honor to serve as governor and a privilege to lead the best state in the nation forward.

[Stix @2ndStix]

If you can, check out "The Day of the Jackal" which is episodic and streaming on Peacock. Eddie Redmayne is tremendous in the lead roll and the production values are very high. Good viewing.

Nearly cold and windy enough here to remove the lightweight bedding and get out the down comforter. #November

It's almost time for a holiday favorite. "Illumination: Tree Lights" returns to the Morton Arboretum in Lisle starting this weekend. https://t.co/qUMhEo1rlW
