This kind of smarmy attitude about AI infuriates me. You bet I can fact check better than AI. As a trained historian, that’s kind of my job.

Slick wears the crown in this household (even if it’s a small one…).

Companies are pushing workers to use AI to speed up their work. But sometimes the tools just make work slower (gift link)

Daily Peanuts!

It’s really frightening.

How are we all enjoying Tom Hanks’ WW2 documentary on The History Channel? I’m liking it so far. #WW2

So. Did Kelly's ragtag group head to Switzerland after they successfully stole the gold? Here's hoping so. #KellysHeroes #TCMParty

KELLY’S HEROES cracks me up every time I watch it. #TCMParty

I woke up with the theme song to MUDER, SHE SAID in my head. This was the universe’s sign that I needed to add this film to my DVD collection. Done! #TCMParty

Daily Peanuts!

Al is totally on his way to being an alcoholic. I wonder if their marriage survived or if Milly had enough and left. #TCMParty #TheBestYearsOfOurLives

So much is said right here with no dialogue. Dana Andrews take a bow! #TheBestYearsOfOurLives #TCMParyy

We let the Confederates off the hook after the Civil War and that didn't go well either.

Fred chose violence for the right reasons. #TheBestYearsOfOurLives #TCMParty

That guy totally deserved to get punched. #TCMParty #TheBestYearsOfOurLives

I’m kind of amazed the Hollywood code allowed that line: “I’m going to break that marriage up.” #TCMParty #TheBestYearsOfOurLives

Every time I watch this movie, I am amazed at Harold Russell's acting ability, especially since he'd only been in one film prior to this one. What a performance (an Oscar-winning one, too!). #TCMParty #TheBestYearsOfOurLives

Argh. Marie is such a piece of work. Poor Fred deserves better. #BestYearsOfOurLives #TCMParty

Here for THE STORY OF G.I. JOE on @tcmtv.bsky.social One of the grittiest movies made during the war that really shows the crushing reality of what average American soldiers endured. #WWII #TCMParty

#filmsky #moviesky Judy Holliday & Broderick Crawford played cards for 4 days on a train on the way to location filming, BORN YESTERDAY. Judy won $600. Film nerds: Do you know how many times they shot that 4+ min long, gin rummy scene? Their interaction is priceless. (vid in comments)

Daily Peanuts!

Hit the 50k mark on my novel. More than halfway done! #WritingCommunity

Oh Nebraska . . .😐😳 ruralradio.com/kneb-am/news...

And now for this absolute classic: 12 O’CLOCK HIGH. #TCMParty

First classic WW2 film to start Memorial Day weekend: THE FLYING LEATHERNECKS #TCMParty

Daily Peanuts!

David Niven's character is so delightfully cynical. #TCMParty #GunsOfNavarone

Here for THE GUNS OF NAVARONE, one of my favorite classic #WWII films. #TCMParty

I know the History Channel has produced a bunch of terrible crap (Ancient Aliens, anyone?), but I am excited about this new WWII documentary with Tom Hanks at the helm. Starts Monday night. Anyone else going to watch? #WWII www.history.com/shows/world-...

I watch classic #WW2 movies every Memorial Day weekend. That will not change this weekend, either. #TCMParty

Daily Peanuts!

Received a newsletter from the University of Illinois Press for May for Latino Books Month and look whose book popped up! @eladiobobadilla.com So cool! (P.S. - I told our book review editor to order it for review!)

Daily Peanuts!

I’m glad Blitz puts up with our silliness.

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

I am amazed at people who can afford to fly first class. Those tickets are outrageously expensive.

Fascinating how the Trump Administration always gets its inspiration from the Nazis...

Daily Peanuts!

I just booked a delightful place in Cornwall for a week in July. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Daily Peanuts!

THIS.

Daily Peanuts!

This made me cackle. 😆

I don’t exactly have scientific data to support this, but I firmly believe that the sound of rain on the roof enhances the reading experience by at least 57%.

Since it’s going to be hot out, today’s plan is to block out the sun, watch classic movies all day, and write.

Daily Peanuts!

I’m watching DESPERADO for the first time in a long time and OH MY GOD but Antonio Banderas was soooo hot.
