Fred Williamson in Larry Cohen's BLACK CAESAR (1973) Williamson was BOTD in 1938

were we wearing a suit when we asked? did we say please and thank you? it’s important to be grateful.

love a statement in this year of our lord 2026 that could have been made to the Roman Senate

Oh now this administration doesn’t like torture and rape. The goalposts keep moving

generally speaking, leave Britney alone

In cometh the spring!

I’m still in disbelief that Capitol Police and a Republican senator broke the arm of a Marine in full dress uniform because he was voicing opposition to sending troops to Iran. Horrifying.

yeah that tracks

Always enough money for another war in the Middle East but never enough money to help people here at home.

westfront 1918 (pabst 1930)

you know personally i find it's quite funny that this suddenly becomes an acceptable view to hold when the guy doing it is One of Your Own and not a Ukrainian.

In 1787, Robert Burns acquired a diamond-tipped pen which he used to inscribe poems on windows & chimney-pieces across Scotland. “I Murder Hate” is Burns’s version of “make love, not war” #graffiti, & was etched into a window at the Globe Tavern, Dumfries #WyrdWednesday #C18 #poem #poetry

i'm taking a brave stance that may get me canceled: there is no reason for the pervert glasses to exist

"Politcs? Hah! You couldn't get into politics!" My all-time Jean Harlow moment in DINNER AT EIGHT isn't her closing exchange with Marie Dressler; it's the knock-down-drag-out marital scrap where she wipes the floor with Wallace Beery. The great Harlow was #BornThisDay in 1911 in Kansas City, Mo.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Tuesday mood

We need to return to featuring long lingering close shots of cats for half a movie’s runtime youtu.be/sWD7mKd_6Ck

And a very happy Worm Moon to all who celebrate

Orwell at his very best could never come up with some of this. Proactively in a defensive way is basically a line from a coen bros film.

Republicans in 2024: Kamala Harris is a neocon warmonger and if she's elected we will be mired in forever wars of choice across the globe! Republicans, today: Isolationists like Tucker Carlson are just parroting the weak foreign policy of Kamala Harris, who would have never bombed Iran like Trump.

Most lethal and precise bombing of an elementary school in history.

no nazi shit No Nazi Shit NO NAZI SHIT NO FUCKING NAZI SHIT

Whiskey Pete will be involved in a briefing on Tuesday, so he hasn't been fired.

Catherine Beecher is the perfect choice to juxtapose with Charlie Kirk. In the era when American women began advocating for suffrage, Beecher was a prominent anti-suffragist.

Once again I propose that we put all the men in space, until we figure out what is going on.

who is going to liberate us from our dictator

Julie Christie encounters a delightful feline sitting behind a window #Caturday

Everything they do is so lame and juvenile and performative, like a group of 12 year old boys playing war in the garage

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

It’s crazy that it’s basically just a combination of the single worst most disastrous parts of every administration in history

Our kind of park.

Pouring one out for the ghosts of Louise Brooks, Billy Wilder, and every gorgeous chorine in every fab Warner Brothers pre-code musical, you and so many others built studios that don't deserve your legacy.

When will Donald Trump testify

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

Turns out woke was the antidote to Epstein & co all along
