Great post for movie theater buffs, which also contains, in the replies, a link to an article about "atmospheric theatre" design, the outdoor style exemplified in the Plaza Theater.
The historic Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs — closed since 2014 — reopens this week after a $34 million renovation.
CAMILLE (1936) w/ Greta Garbo screens Dec 12, on the 89th anniversary of its world premiere at the theatre.

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Tried some cocktail crab claws from Atlantic Red Crab Company purchased at Costco. I thawed a portion and served it with a sauce of butter and garlic and a bit of Old Bay seasoning.
Not bad for a frozen product. 🍽️🍜

Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.
