If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

🎉 Happy Chester Morris Day!!! 🎊 It's his birthday (b.1901, NYC) and I adore him so, that I can't help but celebrate. 🎂 As I type he's delivering lines wryly in the background as Boston Blackie. Consider watching one of his movies today! The hand-signed portrait below is from my collection.♥️

ICYMI: David Tennant singing 500 Miles at the BAFTAs was a throwback to a cast and crew video made for the wrap party for his last day of filming his original Doctor Who run, ~15 years ago! The full video is here: youtu.be/2c6qENWh2jQ?... but I can’t help but add a clip anyway! I watch this a lot. 😂

I urge everyone who can: Watch or record the extraordinarily powerful 1956 Japanese film “The Burmese Harp” Monday on @tcm! IMO, it’s one of the greatest films ever made. Directed by Kon Ichikawa. 9 am PST/ 12 pm EST #TheBurmeseHarp #TCMParty

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Speaking of the great Conrad Veidt, this is one of my favorites of his films. He chose to do this as deliberate pro-queer activism, and his performance is so moving! Over 100 years later, it still stands as a powerful statement against homophobia. And you can watch it on YouTube! 🏳️‍🌈 #TCMParty

Here’s Conrad Veidt in a very different role from Major Strasser in #Casablanca! In the 1938 French film “Le joueur d’échecs,” he played a baron who builds automatons and uses one of them to help a Polish friend escape Russian oppression! And yes, he speaks French! #TCMParty #ConradVeidt

Is there any way we could get more people to leave X for this space? It seems like lots of people came and then slowly went back when engagement was low here. Could it help if we liked all posts that gave us even a moment of positive engagement instead of treating each other like free content?

This also includes *veterans*, including, I am told, at least some fully qualified wildland firefighters with actual fire experience. Per a source with knowledge: “I want everyone to know that they are firing veterans, fully qualified and trying to serve their country again in civil service.”

Pete & Chasten Buttigieg bought a house in Chasten’s hometown in Michigan 5 years ago in 2020. It’s been Pete’s official residence for 3 years. They moved there mainly to raise their twins near Chasten’s parents. Also, Pete grew up and spent most of his life only 4.9 miles from the Michigan border.

It's been a year since we said goodbye to one of the most precious little angels I've ever had the joy of knowing. Thank you, @holyspacemonkey.bsky.social, for putting together this playlist and post. youtube.com/post/Ugkxe89...

Today marks one year since our little gentleman soulmate Harvey passed away. I miss him so terribly every day. I finally added a photo of him as the thumbnail pic for the playlist I made for him when he was dying. I couldn’t bear to choose before now. 😭💔🐾 youtube.com/playlist?lis...

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Hey, everyone. Let's share Rose's website as far and often as possible. Her name was scrubbed from NASA's website thanks to orders to erase women in STEM. Rose fought through poverty and homelessness, and every time I look at the moon, I think of her. www.rosedf.space/explore

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Has anyone done a #MusicChallenge just for choral music yet? From ancient music to present, any genre, any country, etc.? I’m obviously in no shape to try to host anything again but I’d love to see that. (Sorry I disappeared on #DecemberDuets! I’m SICK sick.) If it’s been done, what was the hashtag?

Conrad Veidt, Ann Ayars — and Conrad Veidt again! I’m a sucker for a good double role, so obviously #NaziAgent is one of my favorite Veidt films! This is one of the 4 films in which he played a Nazi. An anti-fascist, he was committed to ensuring that all Nazi characters were evil villains. #TCMParty
