GLOVELY GAL--Mary Collins, at Gloversville, N.Y., models a bathing suit made of a washable leather being used in women's gloves. She also shows off some gloves. As you might suspect, Mary has been named "U.S. Glove Queen" of 1954.

The Bm is a bear for sure, as all the barre-ish chords are, but it's the B7 that's really challenging me on this one, especially having to switch to it from the F#7. But the challenge is also kinda the point of it all.

Okay, that settles it: my songs at the open mic on Thursday will be the Ronettes' "Be My Baby" and Sinead O'Connor's "The Last Day of Our Acquaintance." I always like to tell a story when I can, and they're both by women I admire.

OMG OMG OMG "Be My Baby" is entirely chords I am capable of playing when it's Capo 2 THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

They're pushing Newsom super hard hoping you forget there is still plenty of time to find a good candidate that doesn't throw trans rights into the garbage, because fuck voting for that piece of shit. THERE'S EASILY TIME. We can do better. You don't get to throw people's human rights & dignity away.

That said, the performance of "Be My Baby" which follows the horrible sketch comedy is fantastic, and Ronnie's vocals appear to have been recorded live. Nothing makes me happier these days than to find 20th century television performances which are *not* lip-synced.

In a December 1978 episode of the SHA NA NA tv series featuring Ronnie Spector, Sha Na Na's big burly saxophonist makes a joke about hitting her. I'm unsure how much public knowledge there was about the domestic abuse Ronnie had suffered at the hands of her ex-husband as of 1978 but either way jfc

In 2004 I took a multi-week women's self-defense class. I was the only trans woman, but there was a trans man in the class, and a couple weeks in we had to stop and have a group discussion because all the hypothetical scenarios were about being attacked by a man, which he said was unfair to men.

Oh yeah, theaters are definitely letting people in without tickets for seats, that absolutely is happening, yes.
Kayleigh: My mom went to see Melania. She said the theater was packed, it was standing room only. People were cheering through it, they were excited. It was interactive—people interplaying with the film. She said it was just electric.

I haven't read that massive Substack thing that Gaiman linked to in his whinge, and nor am I going to. If you need tens of thousands of words of rant and innuendo to embed your "shocking evidence" in, you don't have shocking evidence, you have a conspiracy manifesto.

Never mind its $35M marketing budget--word of mouth from satisfied viewers is why MELANIA is continuing to pack theaters, even on a Monday!

The crew of the Enterprise is puzzled by strange happenings on Star Trek but their puzzlement will be nothing compared to viewers in this strange, confused episode.
There are some nice weird effects—slow motion negative stuff that is fun to watch.
