First watch: Who Killed Teddy Bear (1965, dir. Joseph Cates). Wild, noirish psychological thriller about a nightclub hostess and DJ who is the target of obscene phone calls. Yet can she trust those who come to her aid, even the cops and female friends? 1/4

Have any of you ever heard this? ( #nowplaying) Doesn't just fly out your speakers, it hurls your speakers across the room, then leaps on them where they landed. Whuff!!! Why the hell doesn't this make every Best Live Albums list?!

#NowPlaying One of the oddest (and most eerily beautiful) singles ever to appear on Top Of The Pops. youtu.be/bPFEi2bIoy0?...

Oliver Hardy (centre) and friends, about to release the best five-track US hardcore EP of 1982.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Which book sold 27,000 copies in 30 mins? Which was "a pure pig to write"? Who started planning how to spend the money - then didn't win? Who deemed his own books "pompously moralistic"? What judge called the prize "crooked nonsense"? My look back at @thebookerprizes.bsky.social in the 1990s:

#nowplaying 'Renascence' - Cymande. Whatever you think an album with that cover would sound like - yes.

Remains of winter.

I’d like to think I’m the first person to get into a flame war with VPOTUS from the swimming pool of Woburn Center Parcs at half-term.

Watched this scene last night. The contemporary relevance was so on the nose, it nearly gave me a black eye. #WolfHall

Correct me if I’m wrong, but historically, haven’t power-grabbing kings been more likely to meet a gruesome end than law-abiding presidents? Like, where is their sense of self-preservation? Lotta poisonings and executions among the dudes these guys seem to admire the most.

It's hacking blood because they and their pals ever succeeded.

Just over a year ago the Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, died in prison in Russia. We wrote and demoed this song in the last few days and dedicate it to his memory and his cause. Neil and Chris x #PetText #navalny #freerussia #slavaukraini

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

The U.K. support Zelenskyy

Zelenskyy challenging a US official to join him in a visit to an active frontline is iconic. Unlike other countries whose leadership wages war from thousands of miles away, he has visited the trench line on multiple occasions. Armed himself to fight Russian special forces sent to kill him in Kyiv.

I imagine the President’s approval rating is skyrocketing. And by the President, there’s no one else I could mean but Zelenskyy. ✊🏻🇺🇦

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Is the USA officially a rogue state yet?

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes
