For decades, I didn’t watch Saturday Night Live. From what I hear, it was pretty lame for a long time. But this is terrific (and oh, so true):

In honor of our month:
🐕 🐕 🐕
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group gives Kossacks a safe place to check in, a daily diary where we can let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It also allows us to find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a Kosmail and ask to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
ICYMI, this is one helluva production number:

Kate McKinnon as Ellen DeGeneres:
I have SUCH a crush on her. The last film I saw in the theater was Carol, based on the novel The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith. It was, I have read, her most autobiographical novel. (Well, nobody ever accused Highsmith of being a murderer, which her most popular character is.) Anyway, I give you Kate McKinnon as Cate Blanchett as Carol in Carol:

One of my top ten favorite movies is Casablanca. Here she is as Ilsa:

And her tribute to Ellen:
And if you only watch one of these clips, make it this tribute. She summarizes what it’s like to be a gay teen better than just about anyone.
