I want to see Miss Jennie Morton in her celebrated clog jig! This was modern entertainment.

Manchester's central thesis is that MacArthur was an analogue of Julius Caesar, a proposition he supports by comparing their purported great intellect, brilliant strategic generalship, political ambition, magnanimity as conquerors, and shared tragic flaw of hubris. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America...

Oct 11, 1950 #WWII LOOK MacArthur: The Pacific Caesar. President Truman may find General MacArthur's logic difficult to overcome. MacArthur first demonstrated his courage to the Japanese when he landed at Atsugi airfield in an unarmed plane long before the main body of the occupation troops.

Oct 11, 1950 Announcing that he would meet General MacArthur in the Pacific this weekend, President Truman said yesterday that he would discuss with the General "other matters" as well as Korea. It will be the first meeting between Mr Truman and General MacArthur, who have never even seen each other

Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball, uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon.

Shackleton's doctor was Mom's neighbor when she was a child.

Among the aliens permitted to land was Arturo Toscanini.

He was the music director of La Scala in Milan and the New York Philharmonic. He was appointed the first music director of the NBC Symphony Orchestra. A studio was built for the orchestra at NBC's Rockefeller Center, New York, Studio 8-H.

Oct 11, 1950 US immigration officials refused to admit about 100 of 348 aliens who arrived in New York in the liner Vulcania.

Looks like Trump's nightmare.

The couple in costumes said they wanted to bring joy to the protests and show that demonstrators are "fun loving people."

I been thinking Elon must hate the Portland Frog.

As I happened to post this I was watching What on Earth? on the Science Channel and they're talking about the mega-tsunami that hit in 1700 and that another is due.

There's been a lot rocking in California and Nevada since the 7.4 in the Philippines and 7.6 in Argentina the last 48 hours. earthquaketrack.com/quakes/2025-...

So I’m in Portland, and we knew this was coming. But what’s breathtaking is the disparity between what’s actually happening on the ground vs the … “lies” isn’t a big enough word. Saw this on the actual WH web page and it just floored me. I guess all we can do is continue to not take the bait.

At a massive military parade attended by foreign leaders, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un rolled out his nuclear-armed military’s most powerful weapons, including a new intercontinental ballistic missile he may be preparing to test in coming weeks.
