Remember the #Oscar    moment when @ladygaga and Bradley Cooper sang "Shallow." Here is the beautiful and sad but inspiring story about the @SteinwayAndSons piano used that night. Great story by @marymacTV in the @latimes

A convicted felon and adjudicated sex offender is returning to the White House.

Inflation took a bite out of our wallets.

Restoring a brazen liar and criminal to the White House has taken an even bigger bite out of our nation’s honor and integrity.

Lovely Maggie Smith appreciation @marymacTV: "In many ways, she helped redefine what it meant to grow old, particularly for women. The face and body may change, but the spirit need not falter, the desire and ability to do what you love need never abate." https://t.co/YT5t6GXFlN

“Five presidents, including George Washington (if stepkids don’t count), did not have children. Neither did Plato, Beethoven, Isaac Newton, Michelangelo, Susan B. Anthony, Julia Child, Leonardo Da Vinci, Queen Elizabeth I or, of course, Jesus of Nazareth,” writes columnist @marymacTV.

“Yet somehow they all managed to have quite an impact on the future.”

Excellent close read of the debate by @latimes' @marymacTV, who goes point by point on how Harris did in 2 hours what many have struggled to do for years: De-normalize Trump. https://t.co/lb0wNv1IoN

Re-upping my @Tim_Walz column. Not sure why 😂 https://t.co/8Me1MvaCov

[Matt Brennan @thefilmgoer]

In a powerful new column for @latimes, @marymacTV writes that the arrests in Matthew Perry's death expose the fact that many people, making many choices to prey on and enable addicts, are to blame for tragedies like these. https://t.co/pE2WIk6TS3

Spoiler: This happens in EVERY state that adopts school vouchers. The wealthiest people in the state benefit from having their private school tuition supplemented while the working poor pay for it. They then raise the prices to keep the poors out of the choice places.

I honestly think this is the reason I’ve been spending more time on here myself: FOMO, not doomscrolling. @latimes’ @marymacTV on the summer that made being online fun again (to a point) https://t.co/kHucqlEtfA

It’s about damn time K-12 teachers got the respect and political prominence they deserve, writes @marymacTV on the day that Nebraska native, and former football coach/teacher Tim Walz was selected as @VP's VEEP running mate. @latimes https://t.co/diORwOtXi3

Eve Best’s Princess Rhaenys, “the only Targaryen with any wit or style, is dead,” @marymacTV writes of #HouseOfTheDragon. “She went out in a blaze of glory, but now there appears to be no one left in Westeros who understands the power of the side-eye.” https://t.co/xidhLdqH0Y

“Is no one in #HouseOfTheDragon capable of saying the Westerosian equivalent of ‘we’re going to need a bigger boat’?”

In her latest column, @marymacTV writes about #HouseOfTheDragon’s “glaring” lack of humor. https://t.co/xidhLdreQw

Once embraced by the NRA, which endorsed him and gave him an “A” rating, Walz denounced it after 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. He began endorsing gun control measures, including an assault weapons ban. https://t.co/iFuLJu3a4p
