So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

and, not for nothing, there is a further acute moral injury in becoming so used to it all, and so used to it not mattering, that you begin to think of terrible crimes with real victims along the lines of "maybe this will be what hurts him politically"

along with the heinous literal crimes i think a lot about how there's a kind of moral, national crime in subjecting all of us to this, to this consuming our politics, committed against us by a number of powerful and connected people up to and including the president

It was incredibly moving to walk among the Warner’s Archives. You wouldn’t believe the riches! Thank you @tcmtv.bsky.social and @eddiemuller.bsky.social for this rare treat. I’ll talk Barbara Stanwyck any day.

My 30th class reunion was four days ago and I’m still thinking about the person who told me one of her kids was named Caprese.

An appropriate suspension length for Kendzior would have been 25 minutes.
They really are determined to ruin this site, one piece at a time.
@support.bsky.team I think there's still a search problem. I keep looking for Sarah Kendzior and she doesn't come up.

For some unknown reason.

I was in a show once (twice, really) that was poorly conceived but I didn’t expect the company that made it to deny it ever happened.

HBO Max added 30 classic crime films in Nov — from proto-noirs like THE PUBLIC ENEMY (1931) to essentials like OUT OF THE PAST (1947).

Including their Criterion titles, they now have nearly 100 pre-1960 noirs.

There’s even a dedicated #Noirvember section. (New adds in alt text.) #FilmSky #FilmNoir
