- Years ago I had drinks with friends at a game room in lower Manhattan but can't remember the 'hood. Down some stairs ... a big space with pool and chess tables, dart boards, etc. "Oh, that's Paul Dano," I said. He was shooting pool . People I was with didn't know who he was. #Random

- In response to a lack of support for the Menopause Care Equity Act, Halle Berry discussed a presidential run by Gavin Newsom, saying: “With the way he’s overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be the next president.” variety.com/2025/politic...

- Good news for this book on #WNBA history has dark personal down side. Finishing chapter on 2022 season helped me to process and conclude: 1. I reject feeling SHAME for other people’s misdeeds or mistakes; and 2. I won’t stay SILENT about them anymore either. medium.com/@tamrynsprui...
