Reminder that THE COCOANUTS (1929) is now in the public domain.

Marketing travesties aside, more people will be exposed the film, which is fundamentally a positive. #FilmSky
Welcome the Marx Bros. to the public domain!

Their first film THE COCOANUTS (1929) is now on Tubi in a P.D. transfer.

Distributor Shoreline Entertainment's website says their classic film P.D. titles are “legally sourced from the owner,” which may explain why the transfer looks so good. #FilmSky

In more uplifting news, 1,000 people protested ICE’s abduction of a mother and children at the home of the agency’s acting head Tom Homan.

Notably, the entire population of the town is just 1,450.

Chaplin was as much of a master at sharp as a whip gallows humor and satire as he was at slapstick, and I love him for it!
I followed you on Twitter and am so glad you are on this platform .

#ECCC Saturday: Uinen, Maia of the Seashore. In Silmarillion lore, Uinen is a helper to Ulmo, Lord of the Waters, and was worshipped by the Numenorean sailors for her ability to calm her partner Ossë’s raging storms and grant them safe voyage.

The Return of Godzilla (1984)
Not the US version. That poor thing. They didn't expect Raymond Burr to accept and had to radically alter the script. So it has flaws... Japanese version Kenpachiro Satsuma plays Godzilla for the first time.

Today is the birthday of animator & artist Manuel Gonzales (March 3, 1913-March 31, 1993). A Spanish-American immigrant, he took over the Sunday Mickey Mouse strip from Floyd Gottfredson, which he drew from 1938-1981 (excl. WWII service). He also worked on a variety of other Disney newspaper strips.
I'll be watching this tomorrow for #MarchMonsterMadness, my all time favorite giant monster movie. AND, it's celebrating it's 93rd birthday if I'm not mistaken. #KingKong #classicmovie #FayWray #BruceCabot #RobertArmstrong #MerianCCooper #NobleJhnson #ErnestBSchoedssack #MaxSteiner #WillisHObrien
Continuing with March Monster Madness, this evening I'm watching the 1955 B , possibly C movie, "King Dinosuar''. #MarchMonsterMadness

Smart and beautiful Marie #249200 is terrified in Apple Valley CA, avoiding all contact. Now soon to be "pending euthanasia", we have just hours left to save. This gorgeous girl who arrived on Feb 21 will not gain any sympathy and is deserving of so much more time and compassion.

I'm Still Here just won Best International Feature Film at the Oscars. It has a powerful, unexpected message about life under authoritarianism.

#GGACPattentionmustbepaid Team #GGACP pays tribute to the life and career of the late, great publisher and MADman William Gaines, #BOTD in 1922! What is YOUR favorite Gaines creation?! @franksantopadre.bsky.social
France Nuyen is perfectly cast as Elaan, Dohlman of Elas. She goes from fiery & combative to loving & vulnerable playing this wonderful character. I felt for her at the end as she beams down to Troyius to wed the Troyian King and bring peace to both worlds. Good acting ! #StarTrekTOS #ElaanofTroyius

Having passed up the opportunity years ago to run DOJ’s Civil Division, I’ve never run a large organization, let alone at DOJ.

So I’m no expert.

But I’m gonna spitball that if hundreds of your subordinates want to tell you to “go fuck yourself,” you might, perhaps, have a management problem.
Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general:

"I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"
Trump’s feared DOJ enforcer has a secret: He, too, investigated Jan. 6
The acting DOJ official behind a potential witch hunt against prosecutors and FBI agents who investigated the Capitol riot worked on Jan. 6 cases himself.

The flagged words in the full list include "women" and "female," which makes it seem like this would encompass an *awful* lot of research?
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Jan 6 must be fully & conclusively adjudicated in a court of law if this country is to ever move forward.

They can't just wish it away unless we let them.
Though the Justice Dept has deleted information about its Jan 6 prosecutions from its website, a federal judge has issued an order listing and chronicling all of the cases and prison terms
