It's been a while since I watched either of them, but I'm a fan of both movies.

I was trying to remember Richard Burton's name just now, thinking of that movie. I'm terrible at names, but my brain helpfully offered an alternative moniker: that Welsh actor who Elizabeth Taylor married twice

90 years after the fact, the heroes we celebrate and remember are people like Freddie Oversteegen, a Dutch girl who seduced Nazi Gestapo and SS officers into the woods and shot them. In the face of fascism, history doesn't care what's legal or not: share.google/0DRYfByHLHuC...

I don’t think we should be gassing up people who live in Portland like this. You’re going to get so much bad art out of that.

This is a really good article, and as an inveterate shitposter, I keep asking where the adults are.

I don’t *want* to be protesting! I don’t *want* to be arrested for standing up to oppression!! I want a boring government that works and takes care of everyone and I can go be stupid online!!!

RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

Diane Keaton has died. No cause of death has been released. Seems awfully sudden. Surprised she isn't trending.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

It is crazy to be like “Well I’m lying in the good way”

Great, so it’s just garbage all the way down and in every direction.

That seems sustainable.

Ha, there was a similar chair on Dark Shadows, in the house where Barnabas Collins the vampire lived. Different color, but same type of chair. (Please excuse this guy's groogly face, he's been cursed.)

"Evan Hanley" (character from the daytime soap opera Dark Shadows), his face showing the effects of a horrible curse, speaking to "Magda" as he sits in a peculiar old-fashioned light green chair similar to the one in the post. Scene from the 1897 storyline.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
