Urgh! A Music War (1981). A slice of a preserved in amber moment in time, and a remarkably fresh and alive collection of songs and performances. Lets all wear sunglasses indoors and hate Reaganomics and Thatcherism on the dancefloor together.
"My parents lacked access even to sick days and died young, orphaning me, and you should have this experience too" is maybe not quite the argument she thinks it is

We all agree that we're gonna start a 24-hour security detail on John Waters, yes? We'll take it in shifts?
Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals  i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that
Dolly Parton meeting Ann Richards when Ann was running for Texas State Treasurer in 1982. two Southern queens ❤️

Like 7 boomers at this coffee shop patio sitting in a circle and talking pretty loudly about how they can’t wait for it to happen
Not an issue. The piece begins with a gotcha question about where the guy lives. If you can't discredit a man's ideas on the merits, then, quick, malign his credibility in believing those ideas using his address. FDR lived in Hyde Park. He had cash to burn and was born into it. Fuck off with this.
Inquisitive Ursa@inquisitiveursa.bsky.social · last wk.The issue isn't that the leader of DSA is a rich nepo baby (though he is), it's that he's lying about it by claiming to be a member of the actual working class ... a union electrician.
Happy 70th birthday to Joan Allen, who has always understood the assignment.

This is something that people without illustration experience tend not to see: every single thing in an image was put there with intention, nothing can be incidental. A writer says "the car," but an illustrator says exactly what model, inside and out, from every angle, and it's not optional.
Derf Backderf@derfbackderf.bsky.social · 2w agoIn all my books, especially KENT STATE and my new one THE DISSIDENTS, I spent as much time collecting visual research as I did researching people and facts & events. Cleves is not a visual storyteller, so this is no surprise. But to say that Walden did little research of her own is simply wrong.
the MANHUNTER (1986) restoration is incredible. bravo, L’Immagine Ritrovata
“I guess I was in more fear because of what I had just seen happen to the young guy in Maine. I had just seen that in the morning before I left to the movies. So, can you imagine my train of thought when I saw him pull the gun on the kid?”

As an American, I just don’t know who to trust when it comes to my young child’s wellbeing, a pedophile or their pediatrician?

At some schools, about 70% of juniors were similarly demoted into less challenging classes. It wasn't due to poor grades ...

Get a load of this Muslim over here. Scary right? We’re normal for thinking this for the record. Write that down.
America is weird because we have a free press but also an authoritarian government and so we learn in pretty close to real time the shit that is not revealed in other authoritarian settings until decades later.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · last mo.MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: The Secret Service felt pressure from the Trump admin to surveil James Comey. Documents detail worries about the legality of the directive to surveil Comey — including surreptitiously tracking Comey's phone without a warrant — in the wake of his 'seashells' photo.
In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: big plate of meatloaf, six hours of football, then everyone moves a little closer to the old Trinitron to listen to Ross Douthat talk about sex on "60 Minutes." But now the woke mob wants to take all of that away.
