Wow! A lost short film by George Méliès from 1897 (!!) is discovered by Library of Congress archivists! It was in a box of old films donated by the great-grandson of a traveling showman who staged film screenings to astounded 19th century audiences. You can watch it at the link.

Day 14 of the chest cold from hell that won't go away. I felt significantly better a few days ago and now it's back in full force. Herbal tea, hydration, Criterion channel.

What does it say about the 1990s capitalist elite, that their real-life Zelig was Epstein?

Instead of watching Trump lie and ramble for an hour tonight, you should watch, listen, or read the latest Theory of Change episode in which @jeetheer.bsky.social and I discuss how tech oligarchs like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are literally basing their politics on sci-fi novels.

Haven't we suffered enough as a nation? The Shat putting out albums is like your uncle Bob doing a fart joke that got a few laughs one Thanksgiving & he just repeats it EVERY GODDAMN YEAR for decades. ...and I say this as someone who unflinchingly collects 'bad' music. Please stop.

First day where I feel totally recovered (other than an occasional irritating cough) from the week-long cold from hell that somehow wasn't Covid or the Flu. Also realized my sober anniversary (4 years) was two days ago but I felt too much like crap to notice or celebrate it in any way. Anyway...

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

So on point.

Neuro-divergent Gen-X take: Sam Seder sounds like Mr. Moose from Captain Kangaroo and now I can't unhear it.

Completely unrelated: One of the uploaders of SCTV season six also has the great show Seeing Things, where actor Louis Del Grande plays an everyman with the powers of clairvoyance. Very funny in an understated way. It used to run on my PBS affiliate in the 70s archive.org/details/seei...

Been on another Second City Television watching binge lately, since the passing of Katherine O'Hara, & while recuperating. Complete episodes have disappeared from YouTube in recent years, but clips abound (I realize they're all on Archive dot org, but not conveniently viewable on my smart TV) [1]

Colds suck, especially when they happen on long holiday weekends. But I managed to watch every single Christopher Guest mockumentory, including the most recent two, which I somehow missed until now.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were nineteen.

Yay for 4 day weekends. Boo for the nasty cold/sinus bug that's had me home & couch-ridden for 2 of those days.

This is a really nice piece on what it means to make art in an era where the idea that someone will pay you for it or that tons of people might see it seems to be going away.

the further America devolves into an authoritarian aristocracy, the more I understand Europe's legacy of guillotines, gibbets and heads on pikes.

THIS is how it's done👏

I think any public figure who tells people to 'dust off their bible', read it, etc., should have to take a comprehensive bible quiz, publically, right on the spot.

Trump’s best friend Jeff Epstein was worried about Trump’s dementia way back in 2017. How bad do you think it is now?

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

Happy Panem et Circenses Day!
