Real talk: a weird number of trans women who've stayed fully on Twitter have drifted to the center and I don't fully understand why aside from the fact that their brains are being boiled in right-wing propaganda day in and day out. Actually, yeah, that's probably it.

A true actor's-actor career. You can watch Duvall in To Kill a Mockingbird and M*A*S*H and Open Range and Sling Blade and Network and Rambling Rose and True Confessions and The Seven Per Cent Solution, and you'll still have the seven performances for which he got Oscar nominations ahead of you.

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.

But he would have caught himself in the past. He did with Megyn Kelly with "blood coming out of her... whatever."

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”
I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.
And that’s wrong.
