Oh no, Ricky Gervais won’t like this…
I’m so proud of all the Olympic athletes speaking out about the bullshit that is happening here. That’s what patriotism looks like.

I don’t want to depress you all but the entire media and political class will have moved on from this latest Trump racist outburst by tomorrow, Monday at the very latest. He gets away with it every time - because he is allowed to get away with it, and because he floods the zone.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

This week’s Louise Brooks clip comes from JUST ANOTHER BLONDE (1926), where Brooks plays against type as the bookish Diana O’Sullivan in Alfred Santell’s Coney Island rom-com. Even in fragmentary form, her wit, intelligence, and unmistakable screen presence shine through.

This week's review covers THE COMING OF AMOS (1925), all about an Australian who travels to Cannes and tangles with a Russian princess and her serial killer ex.
Since this is a Hollywood production, the finale hinges on a boomerang.

The Coming of Amos (1925) A Silent Film Review
A strapping Australian lad packs his bags to go stay with his uncle on the French Riviera and falls in love with an exiled Russian princess. Needless to say, nothing goes as planned.
