Glorious.

This is a clip of the extraordinary Nicholas Brothers from 1943’s “Stormy Weather”, acclaimed by Fred Astair. Choreographer Gregory Hines said that if their biography were ever filmed, their dance numbers would have to be computer generated because no one now could emulate them.
More Nicholas Brothers magic (from 'Orchestra Wives', 1942). Watch til the end. EXTRAORDINARY.

▶️Why couldn't they be more creative in counter protest? Always calling people who disagree with the Sino-centrsm as 'traitors'. 😩👇😖

💡'hàn jiān' (漢奸) original meaning in Chinese, someone who betrays 'Han' dynasty.

❓Han Dynasty had long gone.

Now, every country knows there're 'thuggish students' from this 'great country,' calling people ' hàn jiān'(Han traitors'

They could've been more creative.

Tucker Exposing the Open Borders Kochs

"'Open Borders? That's a Koch Brothers proposal' Bernie Sanders said & he was right...It is in effect what we have now in this country, open borders, & that's thanks in part to the Kochs." 1/
Tucker: "Majority of Republicans want a secure border & less immigration. That's why they voted for Trump. 2 & 1/2 years later the border is more porous than ever...@GOP in Congress have done almost nothing to help with the situation. Why? Well u can thank the Kochs for that." 2/

To celebrate #DonaldDuck's 85th birthday, I am gonna watch every DD theatrical cartoon in chronological order (minus the ones I just covered in my #Mickey90 megathread)

Mute the thread NOW if you would like to avoid seeing all of this!
Day 1: "The Wise Little Hen" (June 9, 1934)

Donald's 1st appearance, as a scene-stealing supporting actor in this Silly Symphony cartoon. He is paired w/Peter Pig, who will never have a role this good again. DD becomes an instant star, while Peter is demoted to background player
I think they know they have something here; they save Donald's intro for last, and give him a great entrance.

Also, WLH's singing voice is perfect, and Peter Pig's speaking voice is a true nightmare. You can feel his cartoon career ending the moment he opens his mouth.

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.
#RandomThoughts
Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

FAKE NEWS

This is so brilliant I just had to show it to you.

People making audition tapes for fake news.
I hope this becomes a trend. I would love to see more videos like this for the next two months. Please around your family and friends together and make one of these. The more ridiculous to the better!

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

Music Video directed by @jessebdylan


(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)
