That's the hope, yes.

Dietrich on the conundrum: "Women are better, but you can't *live* with a woman."
For #BisexualVisibilityMonth, an intermittent (that's how we roll) series on Bi icons. First and maybe greatest: Marlene Dietrich, proud anti-fascist and all-round badass who in MOROCCO (1930) took a girl's flower, kissed her on the lips, and tossed the flower to Gary Cooper.
[Sitting sideways in my chair, waving tiny flag]: Hey, sorry I'm late as usual, love ya Bicons... #BiVisibilityMonth
That got you a follow!
Nooooooo.
I liked him so much better when he was dead.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. youtu.be/qM4TXMBGLdY?...
We dumped a president for being too old only to elect one who immediately died. You can't say that's not funny
thank you for coming to my big announcement that was planned for weeks and not thrown together at the last second to get ahead of speculation that my health is in decline. alabama (taking a huge huff of a mysterious gas like dennis hopper in blue velvet) is in charge of space
Can't be extremely enough for me.

Yikes.
The new Elizabeth Gilbert memoir sounds absolutely berserk www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
"We're going to need a story about this accident. Say he was helping a woman. That should work. Also, is he wearing pants? Make sure he's wearing pants."
My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires. When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.
But but but drag queens reading stories in libraries!
Yup.
What do you think of the remake?
Widely considered the best of Rathbone's Universal Holmes series. I don't agree but it's certainly an arresting and memorable entry.
This terrified me as a lad. And still does actually.
Ahahahahaha.....
I like how we've all decided This is It, this is when it's happening. Just everyone channeling their inner hater to warp reality so this goes down
This is like in Peter Pan where the audience tries to revive Tinkerbell with applause. Except, you know, the opposite.

Accurate.
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
It's magic, right?
Strap yourself into the WayBack Machine, because a brainy dog & his human pal are going into the past. @charlielargent.bsky.social of CineSavant appraises the new Blu-ray Mr. Peabody & Sherman: The Complete Collection. It's like Rocky & Bullwinkle, but educational! trailersfromhell.com/mr-peabody/

I Wonder Why/You're Just in Love and Anything You Can Do, both by Irving Berlin, are pretty stellar.
Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor

There was something I missed that I now understand with grave reality — people lived their lives under repressive systems. They still worked and cooked and ate and wrote and talked to neighbors. They still took walks and watched movies and read books. A nightmare. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Another timeline cleanse.

This article is a goldmine of inadvertent hilarity.

I was a little boy in Los Angeles when I first saw Breakfast at Tiffany's. Gobsmacked by the opening scene. 30 years later I was riding in a cab on a deserted 5th Avenue in the hour before dawn, and I knew how I'd gotten there.
"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."
Off screen it was a different story though...
Sure, just like not only a gun is the most effective method of gun control. You first, MAGAts.
She'd be where her boss is.
Brilliant.

F*ck the Republican Party.
Tremendous crossover move right here:
Agreed, she got better and better as the series went on. Oddly enough, by the time she was closest to his level (in Carefree and The Castles), the magic between them faded away. Maybe the disparity in their dancing abilties was part of their sexual tension and chemistry.
Tom Morello made a Fuck ICE playlist and it's pretty good
Beautiful, Matt.
This is a pretty good bit
I endorse this candidate.
You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’ You don’t ‘run the gambit.’ gamut = entire range or series gauntlet = severe trial Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy
Same energy.

Brett and Sean Connery are the best. The others creep along at a petty pace.

This.
I keep thinking I can't hate this mofo any more than I already do, and he keeps proving me wrong.
Can't believe I post something this brilliant and 🦗🦗🦗
Why did he pave the Rose Garden over? Wiki: "Architectural style was used by the Nazis to enforce ideology. Elements like uniformity and lack of décor created an impression of monumentality, solidity and eternity, which is how the Nazi Party wanted to appear." Trump knows exactly what he's doing.
Dayum.
We saw it tonight on the big screen in Orlando! Happy to see the theater was full of people of all ages.

I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.” I beg to differ. This is curated failure open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
MY MOM JAYNE is excellent and surprisingly moving. A nuanced, compassionate look at family dynamics and the impact of trauma on generations. Plus a little sex.
Second consecutive post about Lawlessness.

Thank you for stating the simple truth.
You had me at "soon"
Let me add another vote for JUNIOR BONNER, which is a great little movie.
John Conklin was one of the giants of American theater and opera. Visionary; and a huge influence in the field—inspiring generations of designers and directors. I’m one of them. This is a gorgeous tribute from director, Mark Lamos.
Wow, what a beautiful tribute.

Remembering William Powell on his birthday 🎂 ✏️ Al Hirschfeld's Thin Man caricature, with Myrna Loy & Asta, 1998 "He got the most out of each blink & each twitch of his lips, and he had amazing dimples, which he could invoke without even smiling." - Pauline Kael
Nicely done.
JFC. Maybe the most horrifying thing: we have all become bit players in this sick domination fantasy of his.
The actual conspiracy theory is that multiple women independently lied, with apparently nothing to gain, and much to lose, about Trump’s entanglement with Epstein. katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

No?
