I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Almost a heartwarming little story, right up to the part where a grown-ass man says “I didn’t start it” like he’s trying to avoid detention.

It’s 6:30am, looks like Letterboxd is down, and I’m muttering to myself “It’s because they hate our freedom” like it’s 2001.

Maybe the better advice is to just avoid the All-Seeing Eye of Isaac Chotiner entirely.
How do some people still not understand that when the caller ID says “ISAAC CHOTINER,” you just throw your phone right in the nearest toilet and walk away as quickly as you can.

Several years back, I had the honor of explaining Les Miserables (in particular, the Tom Hooper-directed movie) to @hellafitzgerald.bsky.social by singing through most if not all the parts in about fifteen minutes.

Honestly, there are three liberal arts colleges in Rome and it wouldn’t take much to push Dalton into the same blue-ish hue as Georgia’s other economic engine cities (Macon, Savannah, etc).
That said, Democrats should be scouring Rome and Dalton for a decent candidate. Build on the momentum of the statewide wins this past cycle and make the Republicans sweat.

Maybe the best thing about To Have and To Have Not (1944) is just how much Bogart’s Steve Morgan is a guy who can hang. He’s actually cool, can read the room, is welcome at the party. He gets along with everyone.
