#Edwards1000SixtiesMovies 406/1000: MY FAIR LADY This is essentially the movie adaptation of the stage musical based on the classic play Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw. Audrey's singing talents were put to good use during the musical numbers. And all the costumes were among the best, in my opinion.

The World Documentary Repository: A is for Agnès Varda. French New Wave director whose documentaries dissolved the boundary between the observer and the observed by positioning herself as an active participant in her film, as illustrated by The Gleaners and I (2000).

Pablo Ferro's title sequence for Bullitt (1968) uses overlays of bold white text that slide vertically or horizontally to leave behind type holes that reveal shifting footage. In so doing, the overlays function as a substitute for editing by avoiding conventional cuts.

RIP Ann Blyth, 1927-2026

Glad to see this. I've been told by a couple activists that something like this was in the works and I'm thrilled to see it starting to come through. And big high five to everyone who's reached out to the Mayor's office to tell him to get on this. Pressure matters.

Real classy guy.

Dear Dubliners , you happen to be on the 16 today and see this little fella please pick him up. My friend did try contacting @dublinbusnews.bsky.social but its a Saturday and its early.

the ukraine test works literally every time as a heuristic for "is this person human garbage"

This photo is worth the whole gift article, which is also worth reading. Soldiers patrolling the national capital, 10/10, no notes

Perhaps liberals should consider taking their own side in an argument occasionally

I have roughly a thousand follow up questions and also believe everyone involved in this baseless investigation should themselves be investigated

This is how I remembered it’s Friday afternoon

Hostilities appear to continue

Multiple ICE kidnappings this morning, entire abandoned vehicles, a car left with a family terrified after their father was disappeared by masked men.

“Fighting age males” is a euphemism for the killing of children.

“There is to be no reflecting at the reflecting pool” blaring over a PA system feels very Paul Verhoeven

Happy Father's Day from Hogan's Alley! Here's our tribute to the fathers and father figures in the comics:

In "Thimble Theatre" on June 26, 1931, Popeye revealed that his strength derives from eating spinach:

“I must practice my hurtling.” Rea Irvin’s “Superwoman” comic strip made its first—and last—appearance on June 27, 1943. In the wake of Superman’s popularity, National had already trademarked the name, and they were crushing anything they saw as infringement. I curse DC for quashing it!

I don't know what this cat might be judging, but when I've had that expression, my thoughts weren't pure. 😶 -E #Caturday

This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

The new racist double standard set up by Alito in the TPS ruling: if there’s any other motive in addition to the racism, the racism doesn’t count, but if the state wants to *prevent* discrimination against black people, that is racist and unconstitutional www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

You didn’t write shakespeare’s plays. You didn’t paint the sistine chapel. Those are not “your” accomplishments because you share a skin color with the person who actually did them.

What’s remarkable about all this stuff is the stolen valor. You didn’t build shit, you won a birth lottery. You are a podcaster not Emperor Vespasian. bsky.app/profile/just...
