My housemate is watching the Ken Burns American Revolution documentary, and the musical 1776 is in my head.

Any good? I've seen that series available locally.

If you have access to #PBS and like #Shakespeare then I highly recommend watching Twelfth Night that was filmed in NYC this past summer. #TheatreIsLife

The actual thing that will "dismantle" patriarchy is more or this, more intensely and committed:

MORE MEN SPEAKING ON IT.

Speaking against predators, and predatorial behavior.

More men clocking it, calling it out and stomping it out.

It will ALWAYS be on men to correct other men's behavior.
My teenagers can’t get a ticket to the Running Man remake on their own, but sure, they’re consenting adults when it comes to sex.

There’s not enough pepper spray in the world for these creeps

A more serious challenge would be to show me one that DOESN'T have that stuff. But why would I watch such a heavily edited version? #Shakespeare #TheatreIsLife #Bawdy

This is the most awesome game I have ever heard of!
There's a card game based on this! It's called Brother, Why? And you play monks in the manuscriptorium who have to justify all the weird marginalia you added to the Bible while drunk. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/44...

I went back to The Patriot (2000) for the recently-late Tcheky Karyo, and I realised something: There's no cunning to this man's hat, nor does it sit well. #FilmSky #Firefly

My classmates thought I was an absolute weirdo for (among other things) reading whole books including ones "above my grade level." More recently I've known kids who were turned off of reading because school forced titles on them that they truly disliked. #BookSky

I met a sweet high-energy 6-month rescue pup today. His dad thinks he might be at least part Blackmouth Cur, a friend I shared photo with who likes bigger breeds had the same thought. #DogSky

Their books were meant as warnings and criticism, NOT how-to guides. #BookSky #Resist

The loud orange turd has been bragging about acing an "IQ test" where he successfully named one or two animals, and saying Jasime Crockett and AOC couldn't do the same. It's been a while since I took that actual test, but there's more to it and the ladies are far more capable of passing. #Resist

I remember when this came out. Yes, it took me 25 years to watch it, but I don't think I'd have been able to appreciate it as much back then. For instance, I know they definitely filmed a couple scenes in and around the actual Harvard Law Library, though I can't confirm the special archive. #FilmSky

Question for the movie buffs. Decades back I saw a movie about an Air Force research lab using chimps to test potential effects of radiation on human pilots. A new staffer noticed one chimp using sign language and tracked down his human trainer. Anybody remember the title? #FilmSky

They're holding me in a library and offering me something called mead. So boring.
I'm not all that into Star Wars.
