Back on here for the first time in weeks for a game of, "What was that flyover?" There was a Rear Admiral being buried at Arlington but I don't see a notice from them.

"Blind Side" and "Crash" were held up by white folks as being proof of America's racial progress and white goodness, at the time. If these allegations are true, they not only expose said myths, but reveal how white people still brutally rob black people. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/3819…

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

❗️IMPORTANT for any content creators and influencers❗️ SAG is asking that you DO NOT cosplay any movie or TV characters from CURRENT or PAST productions that would promote the studios that are currently being struck! Doing so will be considered crossing the picket line!

King of Spain at the final day of Wimbledon. This looks great. Very rare to see this level of tailoring nowadays, even on the wealthy. So let's talk about some of the reasons why it's great. 🧵

I WILL NEVER let people forget Napoleon’s betrayal of the son of an Enslaved Haitian Woman, *GENERAL Thomas-Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailletrie* It inspired that famed Black general’s son to write the best novel of ALL TIME: The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas
He came from nothing. He conquered everything. From acclaimed director Ridley Scott, @NapoleonMovie is exclusively in movie theaters this Thanksgiving. Watch the official trailer now.

Great thread. I get the disappointment when something you love is no longer there. I'm guilty of privately grumbling to friends about certain pieces of art no longer on display in DC museums. The solution is to find new things to love. Also very pro good story-telling.
🧵Let's have a conversation about museums and what they are and how they work. Because recently some people have been having some Big Feelings about them and about their favorite artifact being removed from an exhibit. 🧵 #museum #publichistory #twitterstorians

Thread: Viral misinformation about the French riots This video of several cars falling from a multi-storey car park is from the set of the action film Fast & Furious 8, and unrelated to the current French riots. It was filmed in 2016 on Prospect Avenue East in Cleveland, Ohio.

During WWI Mi5 recruited Boy Scouts to serve as messengers for classified documents. Unfortunately the boys bragged and gossiped. Eventually mI5 used Girl Guides because they were able to keep from gossiping.
