Tried watching @ricksteves.bsky.social Iran episode and only made it 30 seconds before getting choked up at the sight of darling Iranian school girls.
If only everyone could see their humanity. ❤️🩹 A must watch.

An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that." Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.
Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.
oh good i was worried it was white supremacy and capitalism
Money does not equal art.
“Everyone says he is crazy – which maybe he is – but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.”

Fargo is 30.
Beggars belief that people think of the Coens as misanthropic & cold when they end a film as touchingly as this.
(But yes, they do think the world is full of very dumb, venal & greedy people but *gestures everywhere* they have a point)

Hazel Scott masterfully plays two pianos at once in 1943 👏👏💙
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

LOVED this (sadly truncated) series.
damn, if the Childcrusher 5000 GTX pickup truck owners can’t afford gas, how are they going to be able to tote their massive loads of a single loaf of bread and a canned Starbucks latte

The great Maurice Sendak’s poster for 1979’s International Year Of The Child.

You're a GROWN UP, Mike. Chronologically, at least. Come on.
Such an obsequious little fuck.
Absolutely pathetic.

I love that album cover.
Sorry, I meant for when Letterboxd's streaming service gets to Roku. Saw it was on AppleTVs and the like.
Nice. Waiting for the service to arrive on Roku (maybe it has and I missed it?).
Why? Just why? Why do so many people wishcast warping space and time to conform to that slimy mobster's every utterance and demand? It's so well beyond bizarre. They CHOOSE to do this.
Break up hard voodoo.
I keep seeing people say, "we want something new" as if there is anything new about being a relatively well off white guy with good family connections who says a lot of bigoted things online and expects to get away with it
Ok, but besides ALL THAT...

Seriously fucked-up dude. Not that that's news.
All that abjectly humiliating ass-kissing for nothing, who coulda seen it coming?
