For those who prefer to reflect on New Year’s. Weirdos like me. Wishing you all a beautiful 2026.

The sublime Sylvia Sidney. I devoured every word. Only wish they let her talk more about Dorothy Arzner. If you haven’t see Sidney and “Freddie” March in Merrily We Go to Hell, get on it!

The future is bright. Merry Christmas to all. 🥂

TCM does it better than anyone. Sadly, every year there are more of my friends. 🖤

I have a strip of grass in front of my house where people let their dogs poop and rarely pick it up. Or if they do, it's smeared all over the grass and kills it. What should I put on a sign to prevent it? The last one was ripped down. Or is it a lost cause because people are...?

What is going to happen to TCM? That’s what I want to know @netflix.com.

Sharon Olds, man.

Thankful.

It was incredibly moving to walk among the Warner’s Archives. You wouldn’t believe the riches! Thank you @tcmtv.bsky.social and @eddiemuller.bsky.social for this rare treat. I’ll talk Barbara Stanwyck any day.

Fantastic new @tcmtv.bsky.social video of @eddiemuller.bsky.social and @danadelany.bsky.social considering the career of Barbara Stanwyck through her costumes, including several designed by Edith Head. Thanks to the archivists preserving this wardrobe artistry! www.youtube.com/watch?v=luKN...

I Hate. Beautiful.

My mail took an exotic side trip with USPS and actually arrived in tact 2 weeks late. Postal wanderlust?

I have a new piece up @thenation.com on Billy Wilder, the Holocaust, survivor's guilt, and confronting the limits of Zionism. www.thenation.com/article/cult...

This is getting ridiculous. This is not me. Don’t people have better things to do with their lives?

Loved working with Paul again on Basics of Philosophy. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

This is my favorite weekly quiz. I always learn something new. Now I want to know more about Robert Smalls!

Thanks for sharing! You got me curious to learn more about your uncle, and I ended up reading this article and was genuinely moved. His courage and compassion really shine through, and the photos bring everything to life. You must be so proud. What an incredible legacy! docslib.org/doc/9638176/...

The 1st war played out on television. My uncle Kevin Delany was an ABC correspondent who helped people evacuate in end days. 20 yrs later we tried to pay homage to these images on China Beach. They are devastating. It was an honor to meet Eddie Adams and thank him for showing us the truth.

With the new season of White Lotus out, check out early Mike White with Pasadena in 2001. It almost feels like an origin story. Thank you Bibbiani & Seibold for the love. open.spotify.com/episode/3D51...
