Marty Feldman in SILENT MOVIE (he would never make it on Bluesky)

Hepworth's use of family pets rather than trained animals adds charm to his productions. Animal actors can do wondrous things but there's something so sweet about a pet that's just happy to be included.

THINK OF THE CHILDREN

Over the weekend, someone on Bluesky told me they "find it hard to believe" that a white supremacist talking point (claims of BIRTH OF A NATION's art and innovation were manufactured to push it into the mainstream) would be accepted and believed for decades... And I am honestly still not over it.

Max Linder in the comedy TROUBLES OF A GRASS WIDOWER (1908). When a husband quarrels with his wife, she goes home to mother and leaves him to keep house for himself. Humorous struggles ensue. (This is a BREADWINNER subtweet)

When someone suggests that I, an early film person who regularly dives into the context of pre-WWI cinema, don't modern cinematic universes because I can't handle the homework...

AN UNSULLIED SHIELD (1913) is an early (though not the earliest) example of the "ancestors climb down from their portraits" trope. A young wastrel is shamed for his partying ways by a mystic television program showing his forebears dying in combat.

To be clear, these are not introspective films that ruminate on the human condition or the inner lives of their characters. No. They are just slow. 10/10 love them

June's theme is... Vampires! In the silent era, they tended to be metaphorical.

Le bang! Le bang bang! Hurhurhur! And thank goodness stunts got a little safer so they didn't have to keep dropping their leading man onto a rolling train (you can tell from the dropped hat that this was not a slow train sped up via undercranking, they just had the poor man jump!)

Comedian Stephen Colbert signs off Thursday on the final broadcast of “The Late Show,” following his 11-year run on CBS. The show's cancellation comes amid speculation that the billionaire Ellisons — owners of CBS parent company Paramount — are currying favor with the Trump administration.

Exactly. Steyer is eating Becerra’s dust now. And this poll was before Crockett’s gorgeous endorsement today. bsky.app/profile/cade...

🔥 Kyle Kulinski: “Bill Maher is washed. I don’t know who his show is for anymore… He begged his audience to laugh twice in 2 minutes.” Kyle rips maher’s painfully unfunny rant insisting criticizing Israel makes you anti-Semitic. (It doesn’t) Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYhmi3w...

“That involves you leaving behind a lot of 2016 SNP policy” Andy Maciver asks whether the SNP has been too focused on welfare and if now is the time to try to grow Scotland’s economy. Stephen Flynn argues that his party can achieve both. Is this an unrealistic expectation for the SNP government?

DISGUSTING an Israeli tourist was caught urinating in the archaeological zone of Machu Picchu. A guide reported it, but the tourist tried to hide in the ruins. Satan's Chosen Assholes.

While Americans struggle to afford gas, groceries, healthcare, and housing, Donald Trump is worried about the drapes in his taxpayer-funded ballroom. His priorities are way out of whack.

I'm disgusted by how ICE is treating people in our communities. We've given agents sweeping authority without the training we'd demand of nearly any other agency that carries a badge—and the result is cruelty, fear, and families living in indecent conditions. The people of New Jersey deserve better.

The US Constitution is 7,500 words. You could read it in under an hour. He apparently couldn't be bothered. Or more likely can't read. New piece. Trump vs the Constitution. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/austinsi... #Constitution #Trump #Emoluments #WarPowers

Paul Boyne got 18 felonies for blog posts. Peter Stinson walked for “Take the shot.” Same Constitution. Different outcomes. The question isn’t what they said—it’s how the courts treated it. #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech https://loom.ly/vGXAPYw #Lawfare #FreePress
