Screenplay by Leo Rosten, who went on to fame and fortune with The Joys of Yiddish. (I think.) #CineJanes

Wait, that wasn't the right link! Help! #CineJanes

I love young Lucille Ball and I love Lured so I'm ducking in to watch the beginning but I know I won't make it through. I so damned tired. #CineJanes

Wow, that sure was an escape! Thank you for hosting @culturalgutter.bsky.social and @driveinmob.com. It's been a while and it was grand to see you all! #DriveInMob

This is getting intellectually rapey. #DriveInMob

credit where it’s due, we’re seeing unparalleled innovation in workplace sexual harassment from elon right now

I mean I guess the good news is there's somebody in government who thinks writing poetry is a thing you'd want your kids to do.

This lost-dog story is no mere lost-dog story but a gorgeous piece of writing. @sarahdekay.bsky.social uses the poetry of digression to create real suspense about the fate of the dog. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want her to write more.

This account of the fall of the Roman Republic amounts to an ABC of how everything Trump is doing right now mirrors what Octavian did in order to become Augustus Caesar. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

In this is seems very like the Soviet version of King Lear based on Pasternak's script. #CineJanes
