Mychal Threets shared this on Facebook. The family of the 5 year old killed in Oregon is asking for pictures of dinosaurs, sharks, and “misunderstood creatures” for his celebration of life. Artists, do your stuff!

I'm excited to share the fruits of my music history students' midterm labor, The 20th Century Pop Playlist Project. Not everybody's finished piece is published yet but most of them are and I just couldn't wait. sites.google.com/view/20thcen...

This might be the greatest film poster I've ever seen.

Are Lucille Ball and George Sanders a match made in heaven or hell? Find out at the live watch party of LURED (1947) airing on TCM at 2PM ET, co-hosted by @tcmparty.bsky.social and myself. If you don't have TCM, watch here: archive.org/details/lure... #TCMParty #TheNoirCollective.

You know what to do.

Have a peaceful day, BlueSky family.

"The Man Who Laughs" screens in the UWS in Manhattan with a live theatre-organ score for the Halloween season. I'll be bringing my "Vir-litzer" to the church of St. Paul and St. Andrew for this fun event. www.centeratwestpark.org/calendar/202...

Brief, powirful, unforgettable - plese repost & share: "Do we acknowledge the necessity of the Humanities—history, art, literature, and all those things that make us human—or, do we fall prey to their erasure by those who benefit the most from them?" rolandbetancourt.substack.com/p/humanities...

The BFI found precious two-strip fragments in their archive a while back, including a Billie Dove screen test and 3 seconds of Louise Brooks in her first major role, the now-lost American Venus. They had been used as leaders for other films. #KingOfJazz #TCMParty www.youtube.com/watch?v=a46t...

Self-defence — 1933 style

If you can't adopt there are lots of other things you can do to help. Foster, volunteer, fundraise, do a supply drive, sign up for your local shelter's newsletter to find out other ways to help. Remember that volunteering doesn't necessarily mean physical labor - shelters need all kinds of skills!

Been working on this event for awhile! Glad it has come together! Thread for registration details (we’ve opened to non-members). I relish talking research methodologies + when it comes to my own research, have been pointedly asked many times: "why should we care about this person*?” soo here we go!

Today on my podcast Canadian History Ehx: The Canadian Caper! In 1979-80, Canadians, led by Ambassador Ken Taylor, hid six Americans and helped them escape Iran. This is the true story, not the Argo story. Listen on all podcast platforms or read 👇 canadaehx.com/2023/12/05/t...

We celebrate Eva Marie Saint, who died today at 102. A #SagAftraMember since 1947, Saint won an Oscar for her film debut in 'On the Waterfront' and starred in 'North by Northwest.' An advocate for organized labor, she leaves an enduring example for generations of union members.

My favorite Eva Marie Saint films are On The Waterfront, North By Northwest, The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming, and, maybe less well known, Loving. One of the greats. Rest In Peace. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/m...

In Austin, a 9-year-old watched ICE detain and drive away with his mother, leaving community members to scramble to find him care. Senate Republicans just blocked a bill that would bar ICE from making arrests at school bus stops. Their cruelty is endless.

My time to shine! I love a bad joke but a loooooong bad joke, so this will be a thread. A scientist managed to successfully clone himself but soon had a problem. His clone used the most offensive language and, worse, the scientist himself was being blamed for it!

good morning, it’s Buster Keaton’s birthday (everyone say happy birthday, Buster, or else!!)

We have so many good young adult cats who have been waiting for over a year because they just don’t do well at busy adoption centers. Ferrari here was even at a local Petsmart for four weeks and not a single application for her 😭 if you’re nearish Elkton, MD, check out our cats: bit.ly/4cOmi21

My thoughts on the 41st anniversary of Rock Hudson's death ❤️

American Movie Classics debuted #OTD in 1984. A decade before TCM, AMC gave classic films a platform on basic cable w/ hosted intros, celebrity guests, and no commercials. Never forget what they took from us. #FilmSky #TCMParty

Rehearsals onstage today with the great Lyric Opera of Chicago orchestra!

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

“Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.”

Another good poster still on that other place.

In 1885, Montreal was ravaged by smallpox. To stem the spread of the disease, public health officials enforced vaccinations. Those that mistrusted the vaccine rioted in the streets. This is the story of the Montreal Smallpox Riots. 📸 McGill University 🧵 1/10

Tonight is the season premiere of #DatelineNBC @datelinenbc.bsky.social . 35 years! I don't know why the Dateline people don't seem to like me as much as Rex, they don't talk to me 🙁. It makes me a little sad #Spike #TVDog #TVPicks

Finally got a print copy of my LA Times op-ed from last week. Always fun to be *in print* amidst our digital nightmare.
