The bear's teeth are terrorism though #Portland #fascism #ICE

I think everyone is saddened by this. I used to see Diane Keaton often at the Rose Bowl swap meet, looking exactly like you'd expect: wearing one of her hats and her lovely smile, striding along. Usually a much shorter talkative guy hurrying along after her. 😆 We will miss you, sweetheart. ❤️

After The Tingler we get a rerun of HOUSE OF WAX (1963) 🕯🕯🕯 And tonight on #Svengoolie, experience the terrifying giant ant attack of THEM! (1954) 🐜 🐜 🐜 It's an embarrassment of twitches! #horror #sci-fi #movies #Halloween 🎃

It's back for Saturday morning viewing on the Movies! TV Network 😆 THE TINGLER (1959) 💀😱 “Ladies and gentlemen, please do not panic. But scream! Scream for your lives! The tingler is loose in this theater!!” #horror #movies #scifi #halloween

All people are related. All living things are related. Can't you feel it? When I see another person, I see a relative. When I walk outside, I recognize every blade of grass as my cousin. 🧒🧑‍🦳😺🐶🌳🐦‍⬛ #Nature #plants #trees #outdoors

I dreamed I had a date with BELA LUGOSI. It was very detailed, very sexy, and very disgusting. ...Perfect! 🦇😱🦇 #Halloween #Dracula #horror #movies #Universal

This war zone looks super dangerous. 👀 I don't think this is the sort of clip that Fox will want. Quick, run that riot footage from Poland again! #Portland #noem #trump #fascism

Will you escape THE BEAST WITH FIVE FINGERS (1946)! Today on the Movies network 💀 #horror #movies #Halloween Trailer: youtu.be/x73kkuy45KA?...

At my Albertson's they've introduced Utz chips, an eastern US brand I only tried once years ago at Baltimore's famous Lexington Market. Sold by a woman who looked and sounded like Edie the Egg Lady - I laughed out loud hearing her accent - but she just smiled and lowered her eyes shyly. She knew. :)

Who's old enough to remember "the dry look?" In the early '70s dudes finally started to get away from 'greasy kid stuff' like Brylcreem. With longer hairstyles for men, those products were both impractical and looked terrible 😆 #1970s #fashion #grooming #hair Commercial: youtu.be/f147_ifa3Oc?...

It's science fiction day on the Movies network, with Village of the Damned and THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951), the best ❤️ I got to see it at the movies where it was especially terrifying and majestic - plus that fantastic Bernard Herrmann score! #scifi #movies #1950s #klaatu #halloween

We're fully in apple season now 🍎 A happy time both for those who hibernate, and those who don't. #fall #autumn #harvest #apples #Halloween #animals #nomnom

Right around when the film came out the cast did a little gig at the Music Machine in west LA. I remember the hair band fans talking about how awesome they were, thinking it was a real band, not satire. But then again most hair bands were ridiculous and beyond parody 😆 #spinaltap #60minutes #metal

Just "look at the TV," where Tubby gets his information, along with social media garbage his staff feeds him. Like that "burning cities" claptrap, breathlessly depicted in faked AI footage and 10-year-old riot videos from Europe. How many cities have "burned to the ground" by now? 3? 6? Hundreds?

Reminds me: Back in the '80s a certain punk band wanted to play Club 88 but couldn't - because as Wayne, the genial owner of the bar told me, he just couldn't bring himself to put PAY TOILET on his marquee. 😀 (Not to be confused with newer band the Pay Toilets) 1/2 #punk #rock #LosAngeles #1980s

Double feature on #Svengoolie tonight 💀 THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN (1966) and WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE (1962). Welcome, silly spooky season 😀 #horror #movies #1960s #camp #popculture #LosAngeles

When I was little, it seemed like every kid had one of these tiny Mexican chairs in their room. They still sell them at Olvera Street, and they come in all sorts of bright colors. An LA thing I guess (but probably also in AZ, NM, TX). #culture #Latino #Mexican #folkart

Student debate trophy re-named for Charlie Kirk, Florida Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas announced. (In the spirit of civility and free speech, last month he threatened to withhold the salaries of an entire county school board because one member criticized Kirk on social media.)

NFT schadenfreude revisited, with fun descriptions like this: "The technology was actually new and kind of interesting, but it was money that allowed NFTs to breach the blood-brain barrier between crypto and fine art. And what followed was not good." #digital #art #crypto #technology #AI

Circus animals at the ass clown factory? Sounds bad. Also: 1 - He's not even qualified to insult an authority like Barb McQuade. 2 - None of the people he cites were "perp walked." 3 - Cabinet members trolling on social media all day doesn't make us safer.

What if they're toothpick flags? Give everyone at the demonstration a toothpick flag to burn and see if ICE tries to arrest them all. #flagburning #trump #fascism

It's five Vincent Price pictures in a row today on the Movies network 😀😱💀 Good stuff like the thrilling museum fire scene in HOUSE OF WAX (1953). Clip: www.instagram.com/reel/Cxj-jPv...

Top military brass enjoying the lively humor of their commander in chief today. #trump #speech #fascism #hegseth

Stoned out of his gourd. #trump #fascism #speec

Simultaneously infuriating and satisfying. Look, a brown guy - get him! (Brown guy gets away 😆) #fascism #Chicago #ICE

"A glooming peace this morning with it brings; The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head" #shooting #massshootings

This is my favorite shirt. It's not only worn and soft and comfortable, it makes old liberals and cat lovers light up with smiles as soon as they see it. My people 😻🌼

Just got my delivery of delicious Yorkshire Gold tea, and because it's actually rainy, it's a very English day for sitting indoors with tea and biscuits and cats. (Making do with other people's cats on #Caturday) Also #books and #movies of course. #tea #rain #cookies

Wow, sounds bad. #hyperbole #lying #PeeweeGerman #fascism #Comey

Golden Valley Ranch in Placerita Canyon, Santa Clarita. One of our favorite hiking areas, with lots of easy trails and endless acres of grass that turn bright gold in the summer and fall. More pictures: share.google/slcQykfJ08Hu...

I love the vast dark diorama halls at the NHM ❤️ They're part of every Angeleno's shared cultural history since 1913! We're going again next month to see the cats exhibit, Becoming Los Angeles, the dinosaur bones and the Gem and Mineral Hall. #LosAngeles #Museums #animals #nature #thingstodo

Words of wisdom and unity: A reading from the Gospels can offer much-needed comfort at a time of mourning. #kirk #trump #miller

I went over to the bad place and Kirk doesn't appear once in the four main trending topics lists. Neither do Sinclair, Kimmel or Trump, for whatever that's worth. And Elon is dividing his time between hyping AI, the ultra right in Germany, and Andy Ngo screaming about antifa and trans violence.

Straight outta Lucerne Valley, it's TARANTULA (1955) tonight on #Svengoolie! Starring those stalwarts of monsteryear, John Agar and Leo G. Carroll. Eek! 🕷 😱💀 #horror #sci-fi #monsters #1950s #movies #spiders

(We had light rain in SoCal today) 😆 Follow Wendy for more burrowing owls 🦉 #birds #birding #California

We used to play the *hell* out of this record. 1977 had a ton of fun releases, and they flew out the door of our record store, on the other side of the Masque. Pat Smear used to taunt me for being "old" (I was 22.) I later had dinner with him when he was 40 but I was too polite to mention it 😆

"I fear, too early: for my mind misgives / Some consequence yet hanging in the stars / Shall bitterly begin his fearful date / With this night's revels and expire the term / Of a despisèd life closed in my breast / By some vile forfeit of untimely death."

I dreamed I was in my old house at night. There were dangerous, bad people lurking outside, who knocked on the door a couple times. "Who's there?" I finally demanded. "Freedom," came the answer. Then I knew it was a maga person trying to trick me into opening the door to harm me. 👀😱💀👎

Good one on #Svengoolie tonight: THE BAD SEED (1956) One of those twisted, gruesome mid-century melodramas we were fascinated by when they turned up on tv.😱💀 "Oh, I've got the prettiest mother. I've got the nicest mother. That's what I tell everybody." #horror #movies

Love of nature was the earliest, best gift I've received in life. When I was little I was given a packet of carrot seeds of my very own to plant. Watching them sprout, then pulling them up to see the little colored roots - these seeds planted something in me too, that has never died. #vegetables

Starting now, CBS won't edit anything out of Face the Nation, giving the administration a big fat megaphone to blare their propaganda at will.

The immense prairies of Saskatchewan ❤️ Grass, sky, sun all around.

Watched Yellow Submarine again for the first time in many years.✌️ "Yes! Ah, 'yes' is a word with a glorious ring! A true universal, euphonious thing! Engenders embracing and chasing of blues! The very best word for the whole world to use!" - Jeremy Hillary Boob, PhD #beatles #animation #cartoons

Sesame Street for fascists

A hazy September day in L.A. just like today, filming WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE, released on Halloween 1962. (Actually hazier then because of our terrible smog problem, which you can see in the driving scenes.) I'm pretty sure I wore a cat costume that year. #Halloween #horror #movies

Just heard some thunder. We usually don't get rain in our little valley next to the San Gabriels, but it's nice to *hear* weather at least. A few little monsoony wind gusts, which are nice too. #LosAngeles #thunder #lightning #rain #autumn

It's that time again! My favorite snack is in stock at Albertsons Market and elsewhere. Nice and fresh with thick gooey caramel ❤️ 😋 I'll probably have two dozen by the time the season ends. #taffyapple #autumn #fall #caramel #apples #Halloween
