There’s hope, folks. My son, who is 11, corrected his twentysomething teacher the other day. The teacher referred to a Justin Bieber song as an β€œoldie.” My boy shot back, β€œThat’s not an oldie. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF WILSON PICKETT???”

I think my work is done.

People forget that Pluto wasn't discovered until 1930, so for the first three years of his life, Mickey was without a dog.

It's rare that the best film produced within a given year ends up winning the best picture Oscar. But it does happen. Casablanca and Moonlight for sure. And probably The Broadway Melody.

I think it will win. But I was so charmed by the three sisters.

I think Sinners is definitely the best picture out of a the nominees. I do hope it wins and that Ryan Coogler is honored.

For Animated Short, Three Sisters. Though I did also admire the beauty of Butterfly as well.

That's my entire forecast.

Oh Jessie Buckley! Amazing 😍

Okay that's it for now

Leif Garrett in The Outsiders Jimmy Fallon

Went to see the Francis Ford Coppola movie "The Outsiders" and every time Leif Garrett was on screen a kid would say loudly to his friends "Hey look, it's Jimmy Fallon."

Bad News for Friggatriskaidekaphobes: 2026 Has Three Fridays the 13th It’s the first time since 2015 that the combination of the day and date associated with bad luck has recurred three times in a calendar year.

Today is Friday the 13th, a day infamously associated with unlucky things. We had one last month and there is one more in November. It's a tough year for people with friggatriskaidekaphobia: a fear of the date.

One thing I've never doubted about this man is his expertise on the subject of rats.

The Library of Congress has the largest flute collection on earth.

Dayton C. Miller, born #OTD 160 years ago, is the person to thank for that. Miller amassed nearly 1,700 wind instruments during his lifetime, donating them to the Library of Congress in the 1940s. ⬇️

I wish that, one by one, each reporter called upon would ask Trump the same exact question: Did you stop at 13 years old as the cut off age or did you rape children even younger.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
