The Supremes (Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard, Diana Ross) in 1965

The Supremes wishing you a lovely holiday season!

Feeling privileged to make it to the Paul Poiret exhibition at MAD Paris. A visual treat, it’s popular with all ages. Great to see students sketching & even a group of little children enjoying! More to follow.

Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.

Christmas scenes in non-holiday classic films:

London Belongs to Me (1948, Gilliat)

It’s really the opposite, if you only get one side of the history (and many of us do) it is completely shocking to realize much of what you “know” isn’t true or isn’t the whole story, and many young jews feel a sense of betrayal over that bsky.app/profile/prem...

His obsession with me is creepy. I hope he gets the help he desperately needs.

“Tomorrow,” said Toad, “I can just take life easy.” Toad went back to bed.

A bunny is in the Criterion Closet, picking from an enormous shelf of DVDs. Other dvds for foreign films lie strewn about the floor already, including "Hausu", "The Battle of Algiers" and Fritz Lang's "M". The bunny cannot reach above the second or third shelf

Daily bunny no.3156 can give you some recommendations

Frog looked at Toad’s calendar. The November page was still on top. Frog tore off the November page. He tore off the December page. And the January page, the February page, and the March page. He came to the April page. Frog tore off the April page too.

Lake Phalen, with beach house in the distance, is largely covered with glassy ice, but with pockets of open water.

Lake's almost frozen. The birds have fled. December first.

But I picked it first!

I'd love to know too, as someone who read Benet in adolescence and loved his work.

An honest question for the poets out there: what is the general contemporary consensus (assuming that there is one) on Stephen Vincent Benet and Conrad Aiken? Just read JOHN BROWN'S BODY and SELECTED POEMS, respectively, and would be quite curious.

Favorite first-time watches of Nov. 2025:
Take My Life (1947)
Blind Spot (1947)
Barefoot in the Park (1967)
About a Boy (2002)
