Sebastian Murdock at HuffPost:

Former President Donald Trump reportedly held a meeting with Rupert Murdoch, the former chairman of Fox Corp. and News Corp., to demand the conservative network be even nicer to Trump.

During an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Friday, Trump whined that he would be having a meeting with Murdoch to stop “negative commercials” about him. “I’m going to see Rupert Murdoch,” Trump said at the end of an interview with the “Fox & Friends” hosts. “I’m going to tell him something very simple, because I can’t talk to anybody else. Don’t put on negative commercials for 21 days. Don’t put them and don’t put on — they’re horrible people. They come and lie.” Following the appearance, Trump met with Murdoch, The Washington Post reported Wednesday. Along with Trump’s frustration about negative ads on a network seen as an ally to him, Trump reportedly raised the issue of Democratic guests appearing on the network. A spokesperson for Trump’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment. In recent days, Trump’s ire has been particularly focused on Ian Sams, a 35-year-old aide to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign. Earlier this month, Sams appeared on Fox News to call into question Trump’s lack of interviews.

Donald Trump demanded that Fox “News” be even more deferential to his whims. What a whiny move by a man who demands a safe space to spew out lies without pushback.

The stated reason for the impeachment by the Republicans is that despite a massive amount of time and money spent investigating Joe Biden since his inauguration, they have not been able to find even a shred of proof of wrong doing, which is in itself a high crime and misdemeanor requiring immediate impeachment.

IDK, it makes no sense to me either.

Kamala llama a Trump "débil" porque no tiene concepto de fuerza

Imagínese no tener victorias políticas independientemente de toda una maquinaria política y los medios de comunicación nacionales levantándolo por los tobillos, además de estar casada con un hombre llamado “Doug”, quien supuestamente abofeteó la cara de una mujer en público. Entonces imaginemos que todavía tenemos la confianza para llamar “débil” a Donald Trump, actualmente bajo amenaza de…

"Ian and Claire and Jamie have come home," Roberts notes. "They've brought Jamie's cousin's body back home. And in season 3, when Jamie left Scotland, he made a promise that he would return one day and this is that return. He's bringing Claire with him, and obviously, Ian wants to go home and see his family as well. We packed the house. It's this big homecoming, and there might be some other special guests too." —Matthew B. Roberts for EW

Quite possibly my favourite behind the scenes is the interviews of the actors just saying how Sir Ian McKellen kept reminding them all to be physically affectionate on camera so the queer subtext could shine through because

Peter Jackson may have worked hard

but Ian McKellen worked harder

David Badash at NCRM:

The Harris-Walz campaign is warning if Donald Trump becomes president again, he will have “unchecked power,” thanks in part to plans made by his transition team that include “modern-day enemies lists.” “Trump is literally preparing modern-day enemies lists, at the same time he’s under fire for calling other Americans ‘the enemy within’,” Harris Campaign spokesperson Ian Sams wrote Wednesday. “It’s all making it very clear: Trump will have no one to restrain his worst instincts in another term. Unchecked power. No guardrails.” Sams also pointed to a Politico report that says, “Trump team preps list of banned staffers.” “The lists of undesirable staffers include people linked to the Project 2025 policy blueprint; officials who resigned in protest of Trump’s response to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol; and others perceived as disloyal to the former president, said two former Trump officials familiar with the discussions.”

The claim anyone linked to Project 2025 would be banned is questionable, given many of Trump’s White House top officials are deeply embedded in the operation. CNN reported in July that “at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration had a hand in Project 2025, a CNN review found, including more than half of the people listed as authors, editors and contributors to ‘Mandate for Leadership,’ the project’s extensive manifesto for overhauling the executive branch.” “Overall, CNN found nearly 240 people with ties to both Project 2025 and to Trump, covering nearly every aspect of his time in politics and the White House – from day-to-day foot soldiers in Washington to the highest levels of his government. The number is likely higher because many individuals’ online résumés were not available.” They include Stephen Miller, the chief architect of Trump’s “zero tolerance” anti-immigrant child separation policy that stripped over 5000 children from their parents “with no tracking process or records that would allow them to be reunited,” PBS News reported in 2022.

Miller has been a very active surrogate for Trump during this campaign, including speaking at his rallies. PBS News reported last week Miller “is expected to take a senior role in the White House if Trump wins.”

The Harris campaign is delivering a stark warning than an unchecked Donald Trump could be very dangerous to democracy.

'"What the fuck is this."

Ian pulls out half a dozen cupcakes, all different flavors, and sticks a candle in every single one. He lights them all and sings Happy Birthday to his husband in the lowlight of their kitchen, his arms wrapped around Mickey’s waist and his voice soft. Mickey’s cheeks turn pink, and Ian pretends not to notice. He makes him blow out the candles anyways.

“You have to try them all,” Ian tells him. “Have to?” “Legally required.” “I don’t remember signing a contract.” “It’s written in between the lines of our marriage license.”

Mickey snorts and picks up the first cupcake—basic, safe, plain old vanilla with vanilla frosting—and takes a huge ass bite before handing it to Ian. He gets frosting on his nose.' - i need you (like cake on my birthday) by @sam-loves-seb
