Bringing the drinks to #TCMParty. Cocktail recipes/history. Also jazz, dogs and whatever else distracts from these trying times. And yes, politics bc the moment calls for it (1. Not affiliated with TCM, just a fan. 2. We sip to savor, drink sparingly.)

This reminds me that I usually donate to the Wolf Conservation Center around this time of year. They do good work.
We visited the Wolf Conservation Center in August and learned about their work to breed wolves and introduce them into the wild

Finally watched del Toro's Frankenstein. Totally worth it - sets, costumes and Jacob Elordi's performance are unreal. And I'm not even really a del Toro person...

Seems to me this is the way to handle this... More please!
FWIW, I have noticed on a few occasions a story noting something like, "Contacted for a comment, a spokesman ignored several questions and instead insulted the reporter."

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

For the 50th anniversary of the tragedy... (my favorite fact: Lightfoot was so committed to historical accuracy, when findings in 2010 emerged that shifted blame from crew error to a rogue wave, he changed the lyrics to reflect this.) This is the orig version. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuzT...

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

This is the story I needed this morning.
Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

Good thread to better understand the SNAP stay…
KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

The problem with scammers and loneliness these days is that everything is digital, so the scammer never gets the chance to fall in love with a plucky local librarian and change his wicked ways. And forget about the implications of not even having to buy a bunch of marching band instruments.
