“We are proud to endorse white male candidate [etc.]” — fixed it for you.

Some suggested 80s UK punk band names (drawn from my contemporary personal experiences)

Burnt Cheese

I imagine there was also a perky puppy who was inconvenienced and didn’t get to take his regular walk … can we get that story next? Love this hard-hitting analysis!

“Or, James, you could … buzz … off and clear the lane for the more qualified Black woman. That would work.”

Danger UXB. Spoilers for a 47 year old TV series but why do some of the bombs explode?! So confusing! 😆

“I’m gonna wash that other persona right out of my hair”

“Some enchanted evening… you may see a drug fiend… across a crowded room”

Now I want to see the MGM musical of James Michener’s A SCANNER DARKLY, as adapted by Rodgers & Hammerstein

My kid just confused James Michener with Philip K. Dick, because “they both had books that were turned into movies”

Thanks for this “journalism” and all the insights. Oh, wait, all you did was pass along some BS from a bunch of racists. 🤔

A graphic in pink, blue, and green that illustrates how recent many Black History events are to the current day -- ranging from 1619 to 2024.

Motörhead band, No Remorse compilation album cover.

I would be happy if they played this kind of 80s music in the grocery stores of America:

Einstürzende Neubauten! Did not expect to see them on this thread anywhere. Nicely done.

The Sword in the Stone, really? 🤷🏻‍♂️

He’s already a tedious evil windbag - perhaps he will become so inflated with gas that he floats away like a demonic balloon. Or even pops. 🤞

Pretty sure this guy works in the White House now

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Last line of the Morii writeup made me smile. Thanks! And thanks for all your great work.

“Meese is a pig” poster, very common in DC during the Reagan years.

We knew in DC in the 80s:

It was Edgar Wright’s top 1000 list that really put it on my radar. A great list: boxd.it/502LY

Finally saw Suspiria for the first time about 2-3 years ago and am now Argento-ized as a result. so good!

Five 70s flicks you love and return to time and time again:

McPaper gonna McPaper.
“What did you do when the Nazis came to power, grandpa?”
“Oh, some awesome both-sidesing, followed by some finger wagging at the opposition for being alarmist”

Thanks for the recommendation! Walked to my neighborhood bookstore and picked it up in paperback a few minutes ago 😊

David Michaelis’s book “Schulz and Peanuts” is a great read.

And thanks for mentioning George Herriman’s work. That’s some good stuff.
