Bluesky inherited a bad post style from Twitter. Someone posts a challenge in the form ‘Name a film that . . . ‘ and people respond by posting stills or GIFs from a film without naming it. ‘Name’ means provide the name.

I can’t remember seeing secondhand Davidsons (other than KH) anywhere. I need to dig a bit deeper.
Your immune system is under assault and reeling! I hope it gets its balance book soon. Me – fine, thanks. Troubled by stiff, tight hips and lower back soreness, which is an old problem. I know what to do about it but at the moment, all stretch and exercise positions are too painful to start.

My recent crime reading has involved 2 very different, but equally enjoyable, books by @tombradby.bsky.social & @eajackson.bsky.social One is a gripping thriller with spy elements, the other an absorbing police novel. Both recommended. #BritishCrimeFiction murdermayhemandlongdogs.com/uk-crime-202...

Kicking off the long weekend with Bobbie Gentry & reading novels & histories by lamplight the way the crucified Lord up on Calvary hill intended each of us to.
Watching this man do shots of Vodka every time Trump claimed he had done something better than someone, that had never been done before, is the only recap you need to watch of that ridiculous Iran speech from Trump last night.

Correctamundo. According to Wikipedia, it was recorded late in ‘62 and released early in ‘63. The other anachronism is the parked Mustang. Ford started developing the Mustang in September ‘62 and launched it in April ‘64.
