I’m hosting a very special #FilmNoirClub watch party on Saturday, February 21, with the “Czar of Noir,” @eddiemuller.bsky.social, joining us.
More info – and a link to watch – as the date grows closer. I just wanted to post about it now so folks could put it in their calendars. Spread the word! 😊

With current events so grim, Philip and I have continued binging the frothy amateur-detective series of the ‘30s and ‘40s. If you’re in need of a little distraction (each runs roughly an hour), these nine are currently among our favorites. #FilmSky 🎥

First time viewer, so ignore my ramblings, but The Dude, Walter and Donnie remind me of the leads in Altman’s 3 Women – like, three parts of the male psyche, or something that I cannot put into words. Ignore me. I’ll muse on it and get back to you in a month. 😅 #FilmNoirClub #TheBigLebowski

I feel like this film is full of lines I’ve heard repeated over the years, and had no idea they were all from the same film. #FilmNoirClub #TheBigLebowski

I lived in LA in the early ‘90s. Never had so many anxiety dreams. This scene seems pretty much accurate. #FilmNoirClub #TheBigLebowski

To fully understand the multigenerational appeal of John Goodman, I’d like to note that my father (b. 1925) when asked what his favorite movie was – across a lifetime of film viewing – would firmly insist, “King Ralph.” 😅 #FilmNoirClub #TheBigLebowski

Here for #TheBigLebowski, my first time watching. I have no idea how I have gone nearly 30 years without seeing this film, but happy to rectify it now. 😊 #FilmNoirClub

@joelvideo.producer.blue Thank you for the hashtag question. I wasn’t certain if you were posing it to me or Eddie. If it was to Eddie, I’m sure he will answer, of course. But if it was to me, guide me. Is the Noir Alley hashtag an exclusive TCM copyright? We wouldn’t want to infringe, of course.

Last night the voters of Leander, Texas — one of the fastest growing cities in the country — FLIPPED their mayor’s seat from red to blue! Congrats to Na’Cole Thompson who will also be the first Black mayor in the city’s history.

We took the day off yesterday and drove to Joshua Tree National Park, where we perched among some tall boulders and had a picnic. It felt like there was nothing and no one around for miles, and it was so peaceful – and boy, did we need it. 😊

The story goes like this, in 1967 a little girl called Takara’s customer service number, and asked to speak to Licca-chan.
Not wanting to crush a little kid’s dreams, the operator quickly replied “Hello, this is Licca-chan!”
Very cute, totally harmless. …right?

This is not new to Black Folks in America. None of it. Our neighborhoods have always been over policed & brutalized.

Yeah....there are a collection of minority groups who don't need to hear it. We live it daily. That's part of the mix up here. Black people have been the most vocal. For the longest time in america. We've been instant targets this entire time because of the color of our skin.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.
