Warner Bros. also played a significant role in the birth of sound films: Don Juan 1926 first film with sound, a musical score; The Jazz Singer 1927 first film with a snatch of dialogue; Lights of New York 1928 first complete talking picture. All of these used the Vitaphone audio system.🎞

A given party is not "democratic." It is hierarchical and sometimes if not always outright authoritarian.

It isn't just the military and economic prowess of America that should be of concern. Its cultural dominance should also be problematized. #Culture #movies #tv #radio #magazines

Alas, what we're witnessing today is what all too frequently happens when you become a politician.

Thatt #MarkCarney agreed to cancel the planned regulatory cap on emissions from the oil and gas sector is unconscionable decision. That sector produces the biggest share of #GreenhouseGas pollution in Canada.

Where's the PM for which we hoped? All we see so far is Carney the ruthless economist with the closet persona of an authoritarian, as 4 recent bills reveal. Deeply disappointed. #MarkCarney
