Something jarring about seeing Hillary Clinton and Tucker Carlson on the same speech program.

I rarely go on FB nowadays (& mostly still have an account for the sake of my Mom), but sometimes the Memories feature is worth it.

I never knew that Grouch Marx and Dennis Hopper made a generation gap drama (!!) back in 1962. Marx is a concerned father trying to talk Dennis out of marrying his 17 year old daughter played by Hopper’s wife Brooke Hayward. I’m trying to picture Groucho playing Nicholson’s part in “Easy Rider!”

this is because Dolly Parton is the equal or better of most strung- instrument players you can name, a fact often obscured by the vocabulary of iconography sometimes used to discuss her work. thanks for coming to my presentation this’ll take about half a hour

I would like to say that I was mature enough *not* to mumble "when the walls fell" after each time someone said "Czaka".
Alas, I cannot.

Random, but relevant for our Pizza and Movie Night:
The version of "Hangmen Also Die!" that's free on YT is sharp & clear, like watching it through a cleaned window compared to some of the older transfers floating about.

Insane footage from on the ground in Minneapolis. Trump continues to turn our neighborhoods into war zones. This is not normal.
🚨BREAKING: ICE unleashes ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical ammunition at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. Several protesters struck. Our reporter @zdroberts.bsky.social struck in the head.

Time to bring this out again. A 12-year-old recognized this 6 months ago, and it’s only gotten worse.
To the person who optimistically gave my 12-year-old a copy of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution at the No Kings protest:
Good job, you picked the right kid.
He saw many similarities between the complaints against the British and our current situation and underlined them.
