Captain, you’ve got some ‘splaining to do.

I immediately picked up on this Twilight Zone reference in a recent episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and loved it. @thenightgallery.bsky.social @thetwilightzonepodcast.com @rodserlingmemfndtn.bsky.social

Booth at Lincoln’s Second Inauguration On March 4, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated for a second time following his reelection in November of 1864. With hopes that an end to the Civil War was in sight, Lincoln gave a hist…

An old blog post of mine was recently linked to in an article from The Guardian. The increase in visitors motivated me to revise the piece with better text and images. Here’s the newly improved “[John Wilkes] Booth at Lincoln’s Second Inauguration.” lincolnconspirators.com/2012/05/31/b... 🗃

Four panel comic from the strip Peanuts. Lucy is leaning on Schroeder’s piano talking at him. The monologue across the four panels states: “You should have been with me at the art museum today…I saw this great big picture of Beethoven and his whole orchestra crossing the Delaware! They were in a rowboat, and Beethoven was standing up in the front…the picture was probably taken when they were on their way to Nashville.”

Looks like Lucy has been learning her history from ChatGPT. 🤣

A guy who used to work at the Surratt House got a tattoo of Booth’s derringer on his bicep. The quality was pretty good but I thought it was a poor choice but he was young & dumb. He was fired after like a year because he wasn’t a good worker. I wonder if he has any “regerts” about the tat today.

I am writing a biography on Joseph B. Stewart, a prominent lawyer and lobbyist in D.C. He truly was the Forrest Gump of 19th Century America. As just one example, he chased John Wilkes Booth out of Ford's Theatre! Visit my page for more: joebarryauthor.com

Huge if true.

This is the paper I gave to historians about “AI” last week. I was at Queen Mary University in London last week at a charming conference that turned out to be mainly about modern British history. I…

With the dumb take on AI from a historian doing the rounds, bumping @davehitchcock.bsky.social's more interesting take presented @qmcbs.bsky.social: hitchcockian.medium.com/this-is-the-...

Each episode of Fractured Flickers also had a guest interview with host Hans Conried. Rod Serling appeared as the guest on Oct. 17, 1963, playfully answering the scripted questions about The Twilight Zone and writing. @thetwilightzonepodcast.com

Fractured Flickers was a Jay Ward comedy show from 1963 dubbing over silent film clips. Here they lampoon how TV studios work with a clip of an aristocrat as a producer. Into the scene comes writer “Rob Sterling” clearly a parody of Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling. @rodserlingmemfndtn.bsky.social

Is this the Last Podcast on the Left? Admittedly I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts but I couldn’t get through the first ten minutes of that. The constant interruptions and frat boys style of shooting the shit was annoying to me.

An advertisement for Bugs Bunny in PERSON TO BUNNY

For all the attention SEE IT NOW gets today, in the 1950s Edward R. Murrow was far better known for his celebrity interview show PERSON TO PERSON (which we're seeing recreated now).

The show was so popular it even got a Looney Tunes parody. #GNGL
