Same! When I saw her name on the #SUTS calendar it was a mix of "Yay!!" and "Uh-oh." My poor DVR.

I think of her quote All. The. Time. Whenever I see a scene with people walking up courthouse steps, or walking down the street, or shopping, etc. Y’know, like life. I see plenty of photos of real American cities, including my city of Pittsburgh, during that era, so I see it.

Absolutely breaks my heart that this is what our educators are going through in America.

Bless her!

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

Microsoft will no longer sell movies or TV shows on PCs or Xbox — what happens to the stuff you bought No more direct sales from Microsoft as it retreats from entertainment

"If you don't trust Microsoft to keep the Movies & TV app running, might we suggest building your own home media server or return to buying physical media.

At this point it might even be cheaper than streaming."

@bcdreyer.social I’m in at about 8% with “It’s called a hyphen. Trust me, it helps.”

She excelled in every role, and she's in two of my favorite Christmas movies, CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT (1945) and REMEMBER THE NIGHT (1940), (which I believe is your "official" Christmas movie!).

⭐ The Bob Lardine Interview Tapes are recordings of stars, talking careers, regrets, & what’s next. Henry Winkler @hwinkler4real.bsky.social in 1975 is especially moving: aware of his fame & already preparing for the end of it.

The Children Who Built Pittsburgh The stories of individuals who worked hard, dangerous jobs to build Pittsburgh — many of these individuals were children.

If you only read one column of mine, let it be this one. Children built Pittsburgh too. In our steel mills, coal mines, factories & streets where they worked 12-hour days at dangerous jobs, sometimes losing limb and life. I found some of their voices. www.pittsburghmagazine.com/dahn-memory-...

A "disconnect." How precious. Like when a Space X rocket explodes into smithereens and they call it a "rapid unscheduled disassembly."

I look at these pics, absolutely love them, then think, ”I wonder if Aurora has seen them.“ But of course this wonderful post is yours! Thank you, as always.

Every time I drive by it on Smithfield St. here in my hometown of Pittsburgh, I think of its impact.

Beautiful! Do you ever display it with UV black light? I see people using black light LED strips.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find this streaming anywhere. Tried all the usual suspects I can think of, including Internet Archive, where I only found the trailer. The  libraries here in Pittsburgh didn’t have a DVD. If you have any tips, please let me know!

Watched LA BANDERA (1935). Not sure why this isn't as well-known and regarded as Pépé Le Moko. Made two years earlier, directed by Julien Duvivier and starring Jean Gabin. Gabin murders a man then joins the Foreign Legion in Spain to escape but, he's doomed. Loved Annabella. Loved the movie.

I once worked for an ad agency where the boss, a man in his early 70s, would wear a smoking jacket when he smoked his pipe. So elegant and sophisticated. I loved that man.
