Ryan Coogler’s "X-Files" pilot has cast Himesh Patel alongside previously announced star Danielle Deadwyler. According to an individual with knowledge of the project, the two will play entirely new characters — not new versions of Fox Mulder or Dr. Dana Scully. wp.me/pc8uak-1lH4lU

A humorous article by a friend on how Trump ruined news (and democracy) for her but helped her spend more sexy time with her husband. huffpost.com/entry/donald-tr

Donald Trump Has Been A Disaster For Democracy — But Excellent For My Sex Life

Donald Trump Has Been A Disaster For Democracy — But Excellent For My Sex Life

"I started doing something I hadn’t done in a while: I climbed into bed. With my husband."

I got to preview "Good Fortune" and it surprisingly touches on workplace exploitation and unions. Keanu Reeves plays a naive and sweet-natured angel that reminds me of his character in Bill and Ted. Sandra Oh is a regal archangel.

“Blocked by Hollywood’s low ceiling of expectations, Bruce had returned to
Hong Kong to fight and to be seen
His very presence on screen was a protest.” —@zentronix. Can’t wait to read Jeff Chang’s new biography, “Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America.”
