one year ago this week, we identified john milton’s copy of holinshed’s CHRONICLES (1587) at the phoenix public library thanks to an exploratory book history get-together imagined into being by @bkadams.bsky.social & jonathan hope. cc @aarontpratt.bsky.social & @jes1003.bsky.social

Have we watched The Wiz for #HATM?

Ok, I take back the comedy comments about Conan for just that well-aimed and placed jab. Well done. #SlavaUkraini #OSCARS #HATM

Have we watched Amadeus with #HATM...I feel we have...but cannot be absolutely certain. #HATM

It's harder with the passing of years to watch the tributes as it is a reminder that one is getting older as these people who played a big part of your life growing up are no longer there to provide the distraction or the awe that you needed along the way. #HATM

100% agree - cutting Conan's "comedy" would be a great place to start.

Dune again...these are the technical #OSCARS but they make scifi movies powerful! #HATM

YES! I had said - #Dune should win as sound played a huge part of that movie. Way to go! #OSCARS #HATM

Always remember......😄 #Ukraine #Trump #DonaldTrump #Russian #RussiaInvadedUkraine #Oscars #Oscars2025 #art #Oscar #RHOP #HATM #nsfw #Photography #ocatc #TheOscars #SlavaUkraini #runchat #KnicksSky #Oscar2025

A flipping legend - Mick Jagger and could you imagine being the person who gets their #Oscar from Mick??? #HATM

Ok, I want to see Dune get it but against Wicked and Conclave... Yep - I can see that! #HATM

Okay I was about to say What, they couldn't get Uma? But then Daryl Hannah said "Slava Ukraine" so right fucking on, Daryl! #HATM

Daryl Hannah: "Slava Ukraini" WELL DONE. #HATM

#SlavaUkraini Yep, totally agree - thanks for that #DarylHannah #HATM #OSCARS

Definitely a walk down memory lane with these #Bond #007 songs - #HATM

We watched #Conclave after last week's #HATM viewing. It's a good movie. Really well done.

Ok, but for the odd comic attempt, this is a pretty dang cool way to do this for the #OSCAR costuming! Really a cool thing. Well done @academyawards.bsky.social! #HATM

CONGRATS LATVIA & IRAN! Both won #Oscars tonight in the animation segment! #HATM

Wenting looking for the #InTheShadowoftheCypress and found this....wow...just so flipping incredible. Congrats to them and need to watch this. #HATM en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_...

Well way to flipping go #HATM

Best flipping acceptance speech - goes to this couple here! #HATM

Ok, FLOW that is pretty cool too! #HATM

Wallace and Gromit please! #HATM

RDJ - Will be interesting to see him as #DrDOOM #HATM

Incredible voices and #DefiningGravity is an incredible song. Heard the soundtrack from the original opening when I was flying about 2008 and flipped on the Broadway channel on a Delta flight. Fan since then. #HATM

Fab to appear in this month's Wargames Illustrated discussing all things Caesarian legionary and the use of the gladius!!! @petesavin.bsky.social @thehistoryguy.bsky.social @ritterton.bsky.social

He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.

Corrupt? Sure. But also directly dangerous? And how! FAA has done careful, long testing /study of new tower-communication system. Now a rush to switch to system that *just happens* to be owned by Mr. Efficiency himself, Elon. (Has he even been to an ATC facility? Probably like Vance re Ukraine)

Trump is describing a policy in which the US government will take billions of taxpayer dollars and hand them directly to his billionaire allies in exchange for fake digital tokens. Stealing our money and paying it to his friends in exchange for nothing.
