Can someone tell the HBO Docs people to stop colorizing photos with an app? I own this poster. It looks hideous on the advertisement.

The audacity of this man to take the established tour guide’s tour to create his own for a brand partnership with AirBNB is the most disgusting thing I’ve seen on social media relating to Old Hollywood in years.

Hello!
If you're a new follower, I cover silent films and the silent era with tangents.
DW Griffith was a racist who invented nothing.
Pre-WWI film deserves more attention.
Silent movies did a lot more than most people realize.
Thank you, have a nice day!

The Christian Nationalist State of North Dakota.
North Dakota Republicans have introduced legislation to declare themselves a Christian nationalist state by “acknowledging the Kingship of Jesus Christ.”
This is a direct challenge to the Constitution.

Happy that someone is unearthing the fascinating history of Thelma Todd and her cafe. Happy it survived the fires. I always enjoy driving past this property on the PCH.
An Eternal Hollywood Mystery, Wrapped in Mink and Fog, Survives the Fires
The site of ’20s and ’30s starlet Thelma Todd’s tragic—and confounding—death is still standing in the devastated Palisades.

so the thing is
just because someone is not posting about every horror, does not mean they aren't paying attention or being active in opposition, and I do hope people can learn to read for other signs of resistance rather than demand people create a 24/7 feed of screaming
it's actually not helpful

NEW: @laurenweberhp.bsky.social + I analyzed over 400 of RFK Jr.'s appearances since 2020 and found that he has disparaged vaccines in at least 114 appearances, falsely linked vax to autism in 36, and argued that White + Black people should have separate vaccination schedules

Having dealt with the old movie crowd for quite a few years, one pattern I see repeatedly is "We've already dealt with XYZ, can't we leave it alone and go back to enjoying movies?"
Reassessment is ongoing and eternal. It never stops.
