And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”

Just a girldad & husband working in public health. Love a good musical, Boston sports, progressive politics, classic film, etymological tidbits, new wave music, & obsolete technology. Also pretty gay.
Thinking about this a lot lately
There have been better singers from a technical perspective to tackle this score, but something about this cast and this moment in time harnessed a desperate sincerity that is as yet unmatched. And it’s never not the right time to be reminded to let the sunshine in.

I love the camaraderie of snowstorms. We have so many neighbors helping each other out. And being good neighbors is everything we need right now.

Sen. Jacky Rosen is calling for the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

"Kristi Noem and her department's latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately."

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

So I already have a copy of Criterion’s first DVD release of Trouble in Paradise. Do I really need another? (Probably yes)

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

We owe an incredible debt to the Minnesotans who are on the streets protesting and documenting what is happening.

A Letter to Three Wives isn’t quite All About Eve (what is?) but Mankiewicz was still cooking with this one. And of course Linda Darnell #TCMParty

Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

I know Diane Warren nominations have become a perennial saga, but let’s talk about songs that should have won her the Oscar.

I’ll go first:

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

One of the greatest pop songs (and greatest produced pop songs) of all time.
"Heart of Glass" was featured on Blondie's 3rd studio album, Parallel Lines (1978), and was released as the album's 3rd single in January 1979. It reached No 1 on the charts in several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. #Blondie #DebbieHarry

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.

Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.
But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

American new wave acts had some of my absolute favorite 5-album runs in the late 70s and early 80s.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

Happy birthday to the dashing Mr. Cary Grant. With an impossibly impressive filmography, he also shared the screen with some of my absolute favorite leading ladies. Here are just a few.
