Late November has arrived, and with it, thoughts of being together with loved ones in the days and weeks ahead. December 15th is the day our son, Connor, would’ve been celebrating his 32nd birthday. In 2020, we lost him to his struggles with mental health issues and substance use. We began The Connor Sheehan Fund to provide support for programs that help teens, their families, and schools to identify mental health issues and substance use disorders among young people, and to promote awareness, communication and education about youth mental health in our communities. Visit our page at connorfund.org to learn about what we have accomplished so far. And if you are able, please help us do even more in 2026 by giving whatever you can. Thank you, Dan

In general I support Mamdani but I don't think he's credible as an arts advocate because as far as I know he hasn't lifted a finger on behalf of making RUSH HOUR 4 happen.

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

Bruce Lee was born on this day in 1940. I looked at his Criterion box set, and his irreplaceable persona, for @crooked-marquee.bsky.social:
Classic Corner: Bruce Lee's Greatest Hits — Crooked Marquee
The five films in Criterion’s new box set form to tell a story of their own – of an artist growing and evolving, before tragedy cut his journey short.

CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG (1968) is on TCM today at 5:15pm ET if you’d like to jumpstart the Dick Van Dyke centenary.

It’s part of a day of classic family films, incl. THE ABSENT-MINDED PROFESSOR (1961) + Dr. Seuss' anti-fascism musical fantasy THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T (1953). #FilmSky #TCMParty

you've tweeted 452k times since december 2013. that's 103 tweets a day. assuming you sleep 8 hours a day, that's a new tweet every ten mins for twelve years. talking about how to attract a high value man. brother, you need to attract a HIGH VALUE JOB
Dee on Twitter writes: "I don't understand what unmarried women are expected to do. Just coast through life, hoping someone will feed and clothe them forever? Or are they allowed to work, but only in a minimum wage job that requires no schooling? Not everyone can just stay with their parents forever." Defiant Baptist retweets her and writes: "A high value man would much rather marry a sweet girl that works at a coffee shop than a boss babe CEO type that sees herself as his equal or superior. That's just a fact. She should stay at home under her father's roof and focus on attracting such a man." This is part of a long convo chain about women who go to college and grad school, build careers, and buy a home. Defiant Baptist notes that this makes women unattractive to "high value men."

It’s hard to believe that ZOOTOPIA came out 9 years ago. The sequel had a lot to live up to, but ZOOTOPIA 2 brings bold ambition, matching the heart and complexity, and diving into an even sharper, more charged mystery. A sequel done right. My review: www.peliplat.com/en/article/1... #FilmSky

BOTD: Scott Bradley (1891-1977) who wrote music for the MGM cartoon shorts of the Golden Age.
Bradley was an accomplished composer who felt that music for cartoons was a true art form.
I consider his work equal to that of Carl Stalling, his better known contemporary at Warner Bros

Just try to imagine you writing this kind of take about Bruce Springsteen or some other white male performer... the thing about misogyny is it's so deeply ingrained people don't even notice it. You'd never write a "shut up and dribble" take because you're aware of racism, but...
