NPR has received one of the largest charitable gifts in its history. "I support NPR because an informed public is the bedrock of our society" philanthropist Connie Ballmer said. She and her husband Steve, former Microsoft CEO, have given away more than $3 billion. www.npr.org/2026/04/16/n... #NPR

Me too, Joan Crawford, you fabulous woman. Happy birthday! The gif is from The Damned Don't Cry (1950), a film noir loosely based on Bugsy Siegel and Virginia Hill and made excellent by Joan's fiery performance.

This is not new, there are right wing Christian nationalists protestors on the streets surrounding the ceremony every year. This is from Oscar night 2023

Whatever real journalism you like, please pay for it. The stuff you don't pay for is transforming into propaganda with incredible speed.

“Also, he moved Ghislane Maxwell and got a puppy for her.”

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

Desperately wanting to say what I really think about certain Oscar nominations but not wanting to do so on the open internet may compel me to finally join Cameo.

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Place your order by Monday to receive by 12/25!

Spread the word!

Welcome to @rememberthispod.bsky.social!

R.I.P. Udo Kier, star of one of the greatest music videos ever made: youtu.be/sJV29ZQIUhs?...

The idea that we can and should be holding multiple issues up to scrutiny/multiple people accountable is correct, and also maybe too much to ask for in the current intellectual (or lack thereof) climate…?

Get your gift shopping done before Black Friday at the @rememberthispod.bsky.social merch sale! Our logo merch and 10th anniversary shirts are discounted, and we have new stuff like these Old Man is Still Alive playing cards! Find it all here: www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/shop

People have largely tried to act like ICE/CBP failed and retreated from LA and that is completely untrue. If it weren’t for the relentless coverage of places like @lataco.bsky.social these stories would be completely under the radar.

One final bump for my TCM program tonight. I hope you'll be able to check it out. Love y'all.

White House aggressively posting “trump is straight” content amid the blow job e-mail

Still incredible to watch if just to see Rick Monday showing a micron of emotion

Time to listen to season 6 of @karinalongworth.bsky.social’s podcast You Must Remember This about Hollywood’s black list during the Red Scare. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/y...

call the team. call your ticket rep. dont allow them to get away with this even if theyre just in thr road leading up to the ballpark again

Halloween weekend so please a few last posts about @realgdt.bsky.social’s Frankenstein, if you’ve ever liked one of his movies you deserve to see one of his best in a theater. Astonishingly will still be in some even after it launches on Netflix Nov 7th. Find showtimes here www.frankensteingdt.com

Thank you to everyone who participated in baseball social media this year. I plan to use my off season reading books and watching Frank Borzage movie but of course the second there is baseball stuff to discuss, I’ll be back.

“They were careless people …they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness.”

Man of one and a half faces.

The more films I see starring his dad, the more it justifies my take that Lon Chaney Jr. belongs in the Nepo Baby Hall of Shame

HE SHOULD HAVE SUNG “OH, CANADA”!* *he was in a Paul Schrader movie that no one saw called “Oh, Canada”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

It you’d like to donate to a food bank near you, you can find one via the nonprofit Feeding America. You can also donate to its network of food banks on its website: “Every dollar you give can provide at least 10 meals to families facing hunger” Please repost. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

ZERO WALKS. Has that happened in a Dodger game all year?

Hello! I come to you from a place called Facebook, where zealous single-issue anti-Mamdani voters are a real thing. Also from a place called "the Upper West Side," which, same. So to anyone out there who thinks he has this in the bag: No victory laps yet. A good day to vote is TOMORROW.

I’m really excited about the team on the field. Behind the scenes, it’s not so pretty for the tour guides. It’s cartoonishly evil what the organization has done to undermine union efforts. A living wage and adequate security it just a bridge too far for this multibillion dollar team.

like yeah living through the collapse of America sucks but literally no one has ever played baseball better than Shohei Ohtani so worth it in the end

Is Ashby the Tanner Scott of the Brewers? Ie: quite cute, not effective at pitching?

My MLB app alerts for score changes are ahead of my TV feed, so it’s like I’m living in Early Edition for postseason baseball.

This has been maybe the worst shot and edited baseball game I’ve seen in my long baseball watching life.

This is … not the first owner of TIME that has used the magazine to forward a right-wing agenda. This was a huge part of @rememberthispod.bsky.social season Gossip Girls, beginning with episode 3: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/y...

Now playing (10:40 AM PST): "The Passionate Friends" (1949) By David Lean Runtime: 90 min.

Hope this goes better than the first time, when a large portion of the celebrities immediately folded when they faced criticism

I didnt participate in #bracketszn25 this year because for me the hottest Dodger is Tanner Scott and I didn’t want to normalize or romanticize hot men who disappoint and hurt us. But I did donate to @makfmartin.bsky.social’s fundraiser and you should too fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/Dodgers20...

15 minutes of trailers tonight at Regal Union Square! An obvious projector switchover between them and the movie!

Amongst other things, a lawyer in 2025 named Ty Cobb using a baseball metaphor is wild

Can people who are going to see One Battle After Another at public screenings on VistaVision (esp. at Regal Union Square) report back as to whether or not there are trailers/ads before the film and if so for how many minutes?

It should go without saying but if you’re a member of the press or industry, you owe it to your peers, the institution that invited you, the filmmakers and, honestly, yourself to put your phone away for two hours and enjoy the film you’re fortunate enough to see early.

THIS-what's also helped me in times like this is to read/listen about what others went through. Especially for those of us who work in entertainment @karinalongworth.bsky.social incredible series on the Black List is a great place to start www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/episodes/201...
