"Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister Nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace, a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men." - from Franklin Roosevelt's D Day Prayer, June 6 1944 #Dday 🇺🇸

It's the eerie CURSE OF THE DEMON (1957) on #Svengoolie tonight, a stylish Jacques Tourneur supernatural thriller. Even with the changes ordered by higher-ups it delivers the scares! #horror #movies #film #monsters #mythology #runes #satanic #England

Check out the colored mohawk on this stunning bird! #birds #birding #nature #punk

Three guesses why US troops might be conducting training exercises in Southern California cities. The answer probably rhymes with "selections." #LosAngeles #military #trump #votersuppression #occupation #election #voting

When Ivanka announced her $1.5 billion Mediterranean resort project, we noticed her supremely annoying vocal fry has grown more coarse than ever. She sounds like an absolute goblin 💀😱 #trump #corruption #Albania www.instagram.com/reel/DZGfq6k...

Evidently the President of the United States thinks he has built the Reflecting Pool. And since 9/11, it is the tallest object in the city. #trump #crazy #dementia

It's "Junaween" week on Toon in With Me, and today they showed this marvelously spooky Terrytoons cartoon. Every day is Halloween for some of us :) 🎃 #Halloween #toons #witch #cartoons #TV #MeTV youtu.be/BCou8KSq0BE?...

This garden is one of the odd hidden features of the Veterans Affairs campus that most Angelenos have never seen. It's pretty run down but quite interesting. I'm glad people are volunteering to fix it up. #hidden #LosAngeles #thingstodo #tours #gardens

These 1960s fantasy / sci fi films with special effects are my favorites ❤️ The Time Machine, Mysterious Island, Jason and the Argonauts, The Lost World, The Thief of Baghdad. All those great monsters in Technicolor 💀😱 plus Paul Frees, Ray Harryhausen, Bernard Herrmann! #SummerMovies #PopcornMovies

Meanwhile, at CBS... #60Minutes

It must eat you to live! It's EARTH VS THE SPIDER (1958) aka "The Spider," crawling your way on #Svengoolie tonight. (Please don't step on my pop's car.) 🕷😱 #scifi #horror #movies #film #1950s #creaturefeature #monster #spiders #arachnid #tarantula

I dreamed I was sitting in a tree talking on the phone, and this woman was nearby ranting at me about something. I kept waving her away with a flat bread roll I had in my hand, and she kept yelling. I finally caught her in the face with the bread and she stopped. It was Marjorie Taylor Greene 😄

Footage of downtown L.A. and San Pedro in 1957. These pictures evoke my earliest memories of Los Angeles, walking around with my mother. She grew up in downtown too, in the 1920s, when her mother worked at the Pig N' Whistle and her father was a Red Car conductor. #history youtu.be/0MCMRv-w3yU?...

For some Fyre Festival-esque laughs, look at the comments under the "Bret Michaels" topic. Or Vanilla Ice. 😄 There's practically nobody left to perform at this fiasco. What an embarrassment. lol #trump #schaudenfreude

Fans of '50-'60s TV will recognize the exterior of Dino's Lodge and 77 Sunset Strip where the show's exteriors were shot (and Kookie famously parked cars and combed his hair.) The menu looks yummy. Check out those prices! ##LosAngeles #Hollywood 🍽 🍣🍠🍸🍷

Denizens of Silver Lake's painfully hip sidewalk cafes compete for walking space with food robots. Schaudenfreude ensues. #LosAngeles #California #restaurants #hipster

Los Angeles National Cemetery is aflutter with 85,000 flags today for #MemorialDay 🇺🇸 Established in 1889, its 114 acres are dedicated to service members dating as far back as the Mexican-American War of 1846-48. #LosAngeles #Memorial

The Beach Bus is back, starting today. It's a good program we've used before, where we can travel across SoCal to the beach for a buck or two, and avoid driving and parking. Quiet, comfy modern buses deposit you next to the Santa Monica Pier. 🌞 🎡🌴🏖 #ThingsToDo #LosAngeles #Summer #fun #Beaches

"One of most amazing, fantastic events... the human race has ever encountered!" Watch as shrunken people battle DR. CYCLOPS (1940) tonight on #Svengoolie! 😱 (He seems nice!) #horror #scifi #movies #film #1940s #scary #monsters Trailer: youtu.be/vz2ChHGknUw?...

New immersive art installation in L.A. 🖼🎨 #Thingstodo #LosAngeles #art #galleries #experiences

Here's the thing. It's not only that Donald is forever irked that entertainers despise and ridicule him. He's angered when people simply enjoy things, like comedy. As a sociopath, he literally doesn't *get* humor. He only laughs when someone falls down or gets kicked in the crotch. #trump #Colbert

He's really trying to make the J6 arrests about voting for Trump, not for crimes. He can't even utter the words "crime," "riot" or "attack." He whitewashes it as a heroic "protest."

He should have been roundly booed for that.

The eerie satanic thriller ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968) is tonight's #Svengoolie selection. A devil-may-care-a-lot cautionary tale, the real hauntings and horrible events related to the Dakota evoke an air of sadness to the proceedings though. #horror #movies #film #1960s #satan #NewYork

Trump phones back in the news 😄

Directors and French people wear berets, right? (When I went to Paris I did see men walking around wearing berets and eating baguettes, and when I heard accordion music playing in the distance I laughed out loud. Which elicited offended looks, of course. 😄)

The president's incredible Extra-Long Shins were on full display in China. Especially noticeable in videos: www.instagram.com/reel/DYUqbce... #shoelifts #trump #China #Xi #extra3inches

Just several minutes of a mountain lion and her yearling cub relaxing in the leafy Angeles National Forest. (Recorded four days ago) #wildlife #nature #animals #outdoors #cats #puma #timeline #cleanse #California youtu.be/ZT6HUYfXSqA?...

How interesting and beautiful this is. Look at all the lovely colors and textures in the background, too. #birds #birding #nature #Spring

Trump actually dislikes all holidays, because normal people enjoying normal things is something he literally cannot comprehend. He's a true sociopath, and people who love holidays - and each other - piss him off. Anything not about him should probably be outlawed.

Tonight on #Svengoolie it's FIRST MEN IN THE MOON (1964), another sci-fi fantasy brought to life with Ray Harryhausen stop-motion and based on the H.G. Wells novel. Watch our explorers encounter the weird and terrifying Selenites, Moon Cows and the Grand Lunar! #scifi #movies #space #monsters #film

The incredibly dumb film THE INCREDIBLE MR. LIMPET (1964) is on TV and I kind of hate it but I watch it every time. See the German navy go all-out to destroy "Das Lim-pet:" youtu.be/qj9aQ0H14mU?...

I recently asked Google something in the form of a question and it curtly answered it's neither this thing nor that. I got more specific, then it complimented me on what an intelligent, clever question I asked. I was like "back off spigot, this chicken is spoken for." #RichardDawkins #AI #waifu

Churchill Downs is filled with pink today for the Kentucky Oaks, sister race to tomorrow's Kentucky Derby. And the fancy pink drink for Derby weekend is the Oaks Lily - made with vodka, orange liqueur, lemonade and cranberry juice, garnished with fresh lemon and blackberries. 💓 #breastcancer #racing

Our friends at Four Seasons Total Landscaping have decided to get into the renovation spirit, and tasked their architect with drawing up plans for... the Four Seasons Total Landscaping Ballroom. So classy! Probably needs more gold though. #Trump #ballroom #2020election #Giuliani

I love this Oct. 30, 1948 Norman Rockwell cover about the Truman vs Dewey presidential election. Only elderly or educated people even know who Thomas E. Dewey was anymore. (That race brought us the famous "Dewey Defeats Truman" Chicago Tribune photograph.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_...

Tonight on #Svengoolie it's HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER (1958), full of grisly monster props from previous AIP drive-in movies. Gratifyingly junky black-and-white horror with its climactic fire scene in color 😱💀🔥 #horror #movies #film #1950s

What an LSD trip looks like according to National Geographic in this 1989 film strip on Internet Archive. Film strips were common in classrooms of the '50s and '60s but were phased out around this period. (They came with an audio record with narration.) #drugs #vintage archive.org/details/unco...

The Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 is coming along nicely, and now you can take a docent tour of the site. They're booked through May but you can sign up here: 101wildlifecrossing.org/docent-tours/ Lots of hiking trails nearby too. 🌳🚶‍♂️ #tour #California #cougars #nature #hiking #outdoors

Good thing our nation's safety doesn't rest in the hands of a disturbed person who abuses Adderall and doesn't care who dies in his pursuit of power and money. #DilatedPupils #trump #Iran #war #fascism
