Remembering CABRETTA, the fantastic 1977 album by Mink DeVille (Cadillac Walk, Spanish Stroll). Though the yearning, burning ballads are my favorites, like Mixed Up, Shook up Girl: youtu.be/1J5nR4efMCE?... Produced by Jack Nitzsche for Capitol Records

Let's go down, Down to the river to pray 🎶 #Minneapolis #Minnesota #ICE #protest

I was so glad to learn faith leaders in Minneapolis are singing freedom songs from the Civil Rights era, like "Woke up This Morning." The great Freedom Singers version - you can't help but feel inspired: youtu.be/TsziXdKfOsE?...

There's too much everything right now so here's that cow that scratches itself with a broom

The cutest kitten ever has grown up to be this very handsome fellow Finn, who I recommend you follow if you don't already. Also his human, Dave @weskrantz.bsky.social #Caturday #cats #pets

Adorable totenkopf-like "challenge coin" found in an abandoned ICE vehicle Wednesday in Minneapolis. ICE agents receive one of these souvenirs when they abduct someone. Coin depicts a skull wearing a crown, flanked by vultures. All hail King Death. #ICE #AbolishICE #fascism #SS #gestapo #trump

The committee has a chance to do the funniest thing ever. "On reconsidering, we decided to award you the special Lifetime Achievement Peace Prize with your name on it. Please return this one and we'll arrange the award presentation at once." Then give him nothing 😆 #Nobel #NobelPeacePrize #trump

I saw my first person conditioning for the LA Marathon today. My favorite running group is Students Run LA. I love to see these squads of young athletes trotting determinedly around our neighborhoods 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ At least 3,000 participate every year. It's a great program for kids and teens ❤️

Memento mori 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I love the Stellarium planetarium app. Just looking at objects in the night sky in real time, like the International Space Station, constellations, galaxies and meteors streaking by. It's so peaceful and pretty. stellarium-web.org App available on Google Play and the App Store. #space #stars

Enrique Tarrio's name is here in the leaked list of ICE agents. Notably there haven't been any marches of proud boys, oath keepers etc.in the last year. Because they're employed now, collecting $200k paychecks for what they used to do for free: beat up people. #ICE #abolishICE

If you are being careful about your blood pressure, don't watch this. 👺

Xitter is the most important platform for pushing ultra-right nationalism and trumpism in Europe, priority one for Musk and his allies in the GOP. And they're aligning with child pornographers to protect that tool.

"It's refreshing that he's so honest and says what we're all thinking"

The quality of mercy is not strain'd. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes The thronèd monarch better than his crown.

I am so moved by the courage people are showing. In the face of arrest, in the face of killing. Showing up for people who can't defend themselves. 🙏 ❤️

Asked for comment, the bear said "Somebody had been eating my porridge and they ate it all up." Sources familiar with the matter were unable to confirm the porridge was missing by press time. abc7.com/post/bear-re...

I've read articles that cited Miller's student journalism on this topic but hadnt seen actual video of it. He's outraged that priveleged kids like him are asked to pick up their own trash when there are plenty of janitors grateful to do it for him.

Watched one of my favorite Red Scare movies today, the deeply silly I WAS A COMMUNIST FOR THE F.B.I. (1951). Has anyone made a musical from this yet? Though these days people probably wouldn't find a story about government repression very funny.

How it's going over on X, the free speech platform.

The familiar cliffs of Pacific Palisades when a train ran along what is now Pacific Coast Highway. The link goes to an actual movie taken from (and next to) the train in 1898! #LosAngeles #history www.instagram.com/reel/C2gUoK3...

KING-SIZE CANARY (1947) Remember this? It was one of Tex Avery's nuttiest cartoons: Three animals take turns drinking grow potion and chasing each other until "we just ran out of the stuff." 😆 This and other MGM howlers are listed here: archive.org/details/001-... #animation #cartoons #MGM #funny

Suburbia implementing Trump foreign policy.

Do they still make "novelty songs" anymore? Other than Weird Al I mean. Here's a Dr. Demento playlist I found on Spotify. I thought these were excruciatingly funny when I was 12 years old (but I haven't become more sophisticated since then actually.) open.spotify.com/playlist/0cs...

"By what right?" All your country are belong to us.

THESE are the times that try men's souls.

Kudos to Playbill for keeping the Trump part of the center's name in quotes throughout, calling it the "Trump"-Kennedy Center 😆 playbill.com/article/step...

New Year's resolution: drop some of that holiday weight gain ✔️ #TwilightZone #ToServeMan Maybe try something from that new cookbook we got.

#TwilightZone So good! 😬💀👁📺 #DeathValley #SciFi #1960s #Television

Did everybody else first see The Twilight Zone when they were kids? It was so fun and scary to not see the twist endings coming. :) And the themes and story references were all new to us, too. Great TV all around 👁 📺 #TwilightZone #NewYears 🥂

It's that time again 😃 #TwilightZone #Marathon #HappyNewYear 🥳 🎉 👁

EASTER PARADE (1948) is one of the few pictures where your attention is NOT on Astaire the whole time, and it's because Judy Garland was such a funny gal. Her pixie expressions fully dominate "A Couple of Swells:" youtu.be/J3aUAiLU0TI?...

Master list of nearly 300 animated films to watch free on Internet Archive, including most Disney ones. Looking at some old favorites this afternoon 🤩 archive.org/details/wher... #animation #cartoons #movies

Tonight on #Svengoolie it's CREATION OF THE HUMANOIDS (1962). Post-nuclear war, lifelike androids help keep society functioning - until the first-ever murder of a human by a robot occurs, and it's later discovered that a human has become "intimate" with a robot. Spicy! #scifi #movies #Musk #AI

The 5 freeway is closed from Lankershim to Penrose as CalTrans crews work to clear the water. #LARain #LosAngeles #Rain

Las Posadas has been a beautiful tradition at Olvera Street since 1930. Over nine days the nightly procession reenacts the journey of Mary and Joseph looking for shelter in Bethlehem. A story that especially resonates with our Mexican neighbors: www.olveraevents.com/olvera-stree...

We played the Phil Spector Christmas album at the record store every year, and people just went nuts for it. Everyone immediately got in a great mood. :) (That Wall of Sound played over the PA!) The songs are all here, starting with Darlene Love's "Winter Wonderland" 🎄🌟🎶 youtu.be/ekFQb85OBMM?...

Superheroes without capes: Have you ever seen these rugby warrior chicks in action? They're incredibly strong and fast, and make me believe in the myth of the amazons! youtube.com/shorts/di160...

Proof that the Justice Department actually blocked searches for "Trump" in the Epstein files. But they didn't block "Trump " (with a space added), which brings up hundreds of results. So, along with cut and paste, there are two ways to find Trump in the files. (Lol. Lmao)

This goes back a ways, but I still remember it. youtu.be/8bB7obyuuY8?...

Nice clean version of the 60 Minutes segment that everyone will have seen by tomorrow, exceeding the program's usual ratings. Welcome to "the Weissand Effect." #CBS #60Minutes

As of a few minutes ago this bootleg 60 Minutes clip was still up on YouTube. It's really very brief and factual, so it's funny that CBS's new boss felt the piece needed the "other side" of the racist torture story... from Stephen Miller. 👎 #CBS #60Minutes youtu.be/IIm66Tsao8s?...

Just within the past hour, nearly a dozen YouTube accounts have posted the pulled 60 Minutes CECOT story. CBS and Google can keep trying to take them all down, but it's sort of pointless now.

The bootleg 60 Minutes segment that was uploaded to YouTube is already gone. There are links to it on other platforms if you check around Bluesky. 👎 #CBS #60Minutes

There are many thrilling sights in D.C., among our most treasured artifacts is the original star-spangled banner, which I saw at the Smithsonian. In spite of everything, "our flag is still there." 🇺🇸 🎆
