@jonathancapehart.bsky.social “ And I could be Santa Clause.” HAHAHA!!! That is great. That’s about the level of their explanation.

#TCMParty Okay - I’d HEARD years ago that it ends with her petting a horse. So it did.

#TCMParty The backgrounds in the scenery here are fantastic.

“While driving away, agents hurled pepper spray and flash-bang grenades into the crowd.”

Gratuitous. They could have just left. But they assaulted the crowd just because they like causing suffering & pain.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?
It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

#TCMParty They say actors chew the scenery … but director von Sternberg’s doing a pretty good job of it here.

#TCMParty They were so proud of how they filmed the railroad yard scene of wounded men - supposedly Margaret Mitchell said after seeing it that if the Confederates had that many men in Atlanta they would have won the war …

#TCMParty Interesting - those 1915 evening gowns bear little resemblance to the dresses in Titanic and Downton Abbey. Or what I would have thought.

#TCMParty Holy bejeebers - the cost of those outfits! $600 for an evening gown in 1915!!

#TCMParty - I like the actors, I love that the brothers did this, I loved Michelle Pfeiffer - but it was too depressing in the end. Saw it when it first came out - then wouldn’t watch it again because I thought the ending was too depressing. It will be a while before I watch it a third time.

#TCMParty No, Michelle, he DOESN’T look like sh*t - wait a few years, when he’s the Dude. Tho it works on him.

#TCMParty My Dad took me to see Lili when I was very young (in fairness he assumed puppets = children’s movie) and it scared the bejeebers out of me - but having seen it as an adult, it’s one of my most beloved.

@maddow.msnbc.com I don’t care what you call MDNBC - just tell me whether it will still be on DirecTV or are we going to be playing Bundling Wars?

@davidhogg.bsky.social I live in Reno. We need your help. In 2024 the Democrats didn’t even run a candidate for the House of Representatives because the current one, a Republican, keeps winning. We need to run a young candidate in 2026 at least to get name recognition, so we can talk issues. Help!

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com You don’t need to be sworn in for your words (and lies) to be perjury. Quakers were prominent in politics in PA and the Convention adopted the alternative in the PA constitution - swear or affirm. If he promised at any point that he would answer truthfully, that works.

#TCMParty I used to imagine a satirical play where there were lots of assassins in Dallas, hired by LBJ (my aunts in Texas believed he hit Connelly as a two-fer with JFK); the Soviets; the Cubans; the Mafia; the KKK; one of Marilyn Monroe’s husbands … Oswald was the only one who was innocent.
