The American Chopper Meme, with the Moustache man and baseball cap guy saying;
"The Mary Rose sailed for 34 years"
"No, she sank on her maiden voyage"
"She was built in 1511 and sank in 1545! How is that a maiden voyage?"
"She had a refit in 1536, so it must have been her maiden voyage after that!"
"IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!"

It's time for your monthly reminder that, rather than sinking on her maiden voyage, the Mary Rose had a pretty long career... #34Years

Huzzah for the Mantovians! The rules seem to give a pretty cinematic game ๐Ÿ‘

I think I missed the earlier posts - itโ€™s an imagi-nation Cold War scenario?
Iโ€™ve thought for awhile the 1950s would make an interesting alternative to the usual 1980s Cold War gone-hot scenario ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Most small businesses will not have access to that kind of money - without demands for a quick roi.

All this is to say this isnโ€™t a model that can be easily reproduced. Sadly

Meet the 26-Year-Old Who Reopened an 85-Year-Old Movie Theater The Beach Theatre: A cinema reopened by a 26-year-old despite the industry fearing Gen-Z isnโ€™t interested in theatrical.

Have to be that guy. Itโ€™s cool & all but itโ€™s located in a remote area with far fewer entertainment option than a city.

And her parents financed the purchase of the building, new walls, new electrical, new AC, new roof?!?! 1/2

Self care tips: Go outside. Touch some grass. Swim in a river. Hug a tree. Realize the tree is actually a portal. Go through the portal into a land where you live in a mushroom and drink soup. Never be heard from again.

Peggy asked to be remembered w/ "small donations to local food pantries."

But I also hope youโ€™ll remember that simple actsโ€”even just a nice reply to a tweetโ€”go a long way.

โ€œI appreciate everyoneโ€™s kindness all these years,โ€ she wrote in one of her last messages.

I know we felt the same. #ThinMan

A major theme of the Odyssey is hospitality. How are โ€œforeignersโ€ treated when they arrive on your shores? The Cyclops shows one answer and the Phaeacians show another #Ulysses #Tcmparty

Lottie Dod won Wimbledon today in 1887 at age 15. She still has the record as youngest woman to do so. She won four more. Then won the British ladies golf championship, played hockey for England and won a silver in the Olympics at archery.
She served as a nurse in WW1.
