I bring the drinks to #TCMParty. Lots of cocktail recipes and history - also jazz and maybe dogs. Sometimes politics bc the moment calls for it (1. Not affiliated with TCM - just a fan. 2. We sip to savor - drink sparingly.)

Zuck: The average American has three friends.

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

It's #InternationalJazzDay so I've put in Ellington's Blanton-Webster Band and Black, Brown, & Beige, two 3-CD sets that changed my life 30 years ago. Later onaccounta the "international" I'll likely play Aquerela do Brasil by Elis Regina and Toots Thielemans or maybe Astrud Gilberto's 1st album.

Never forget: Tariffs brought down the Republic and launched the Galactic Empire.

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney observes, in his victory speech, "When we are kind, kindness grows." He describes virtue as a muscle that grows stronger through its exercise. Amen to that.

I had a great aunt who grew up in Detroit - she would tell me everybody used to "meet under the clock at Kern's." I always politely listened without a clue as to what she meant. Now I know!! This I think is the corner of Woodward and Gratiot.

Gifting because this article reminded me of the best of what government can be:

If we're viewing celebs solely on the basis of their movie choices for TCM's Two for One series, Kathy Bates would be my new best friend and I'd be slightly afraid to hang with Paul Giamatti... #TCMParty

First of the year 🌱

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Won't happen because they're *both* (now) Michiganders but I'm genuinely curious - which ticket would you prefer?? Whitmer/Buttigieg or Buttigieg/Whitmer

The Harper trailer has me super bummed I wont be able to catch it primetime on TCM but I have a table at The Musso and Frank's Grill. If any #TCMFF folks are here, look for me and Mr Twist in the New Room. I'll be the the one sipping a Champagne Cocktail in a coupe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=chue...

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue: ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant. The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge. This is ridiculous.

What a great joke.

Question: I'm looking for examples of Medical Schools which may just have received a letter from the Justice Department demanding detailed records of the School's admissions going back 5 years. If you have information: Signal joshtpm.99 or joshtpm at protonmail dot com. All comms confidential.

I want all of them!!! @paulgrows2.bsky.social

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

@paulgrows2.bsky.social a reason to grow kale?? Next to the arugula?

Four Seasons Total Landscaping is once again ready to host the circus!

The cover of this week’s Economist.

I saw a comment that said “ he was called sleepy Joe because we could all sleep at night”

But I thought we were a failing state?

Cable news is letting the president lie and dissemble and obfuscate on live television. Unbelievable

Good morning.

President Trump is reportedly hosting a dinner for the top holders of the $TRUMP memecoin he profits from, including a private reception and White House tour. This is one of the most blatant and appalling instances of selling access to the presidency we've ever seen.

Classical Music for April 23rd What better way to celebrate Prokofiev's birthday than with Boris Karloff narrating Peter and the Wolf! #classicalmusic #musicsky youtu.be/DfTPZ2Q_tMs?...

If you held a "mass deportations now" sign at a Trump rally or the GOP convention... fuck you and your "family values."

Love is... waiting until tomorrow to watch the season premiere of #Andor because tonight your husband is at Star Wars Nite at Disneyland.

I used to say, "I've been watching TCM ever since it was AMC! I do miss Bob Dorian and Nick Clooney... (just to show how nerdy I was, I was a fan of Nick Clooney's way before I ever heard of his son...)

#CabinInTheSky primetime on TCM. Flawed, yes, but stratospheric levels of talent & wondrous music! Can't find a period King Kong recipe but this modern take looks delish! 2 oz gin ¾ oz lemon juice ½ oz Benedictine ½ oz Crème de Noyaux Shake, strain & pour up in coupe, cherry #TCMParty

April 21, 1944 Judy Garland recorded "The Trolley Song". www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwP6...

There have always been murmurs but I noticed an uptick in replies favorable to the Hays Code, so I went digging. When a bunch of people trot out the same arguments at the same time, there's usually a patient zero. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't the Epoch Times.

Swapping out all the sword and sandal movies usually airing on Easter for Life of Brian... Mr. Twist took 7 years of Latin so this scene gets a lot of guffaws... #RomaniIteDomum

My Easter drink. Because it’s pink like a bunny rabbit. it’s actually a French 75 with a little bit of Lillet rosé and peach bitters. Hat Tip - Beau DuBois.

Happy #Easter Weekend! 🤣

@maddow.msnbc.com My dad is 98, WWII USNavy Veteran. Showed up for democracy in San Diego today. "I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again!" 💙🇺🇸💙 THIS is what democracy looks like!!!!
