Daisy is going crazy, scratching at the balcony door. We have locked her in because she caught and brought a cicada into the house. This is the second cat I've had who made a practice of catching cicadas and batting them around our living room. #cicada #catsky

The secretary, of course, is exempt from testing.

I love looking at foreign movie posters, and Poland has some of the best. Below is one of my favorites. Enjoy the link: sabukaru.online/articles/the...

Something to ABSOLUTELY NOT MISS! A magnificent film with an incredible performance by Maggie Cheung! A 4K digital restoration will open in theaters beginning August 7, 2026. #filmsky #CenterStage #StanleyKwan

Romería (Pilgrimage), the latest film from gifted Spanish director Carla Simón, is an intriguing and moving story about an orphan looking for a place in the family that rejected her father. Now playing at the Gene Siskel Film Center in #Chicago #AIDS #Hippies

Serious #Caturday post for 7/11/26: A Polish national was kidnapped by #ICE and deported the same day, leaving behind two cats, male and female, 2 and 3 years old They are in the #Chicago area and need a new home together. Can you help? I can get more details. Leave serious replies on this thread.

His last role and movie were wonderful. - THELMA (2024) #filmsky

Just saw James Cagney's screen debut, SINNERS' HOLIDAY (1930), based on the hit play "Penny Arcade" in which he starred w/Joan Blondell (also in the film). Proof that WC Fields did not coin the phrase "Never give a sucker an even break." Ma (Lucille La Verne) says it as the last line of the movie.

There was an earthquake under Lake Michigan near #Chicago. Too deep to feel or make waves, but whoa.

This is actually an important news story from the unserious CBS News. We have breached the AI/Human barrier. #AI #CBS

Adopted a hysterical 1 y.o. Tried to get behind every hanging picture she could, broke lots of stuff - a real terror. I didn't think I'd survive, but I saw something in her. Got some Comfort Zone, gave her as much love as she'd allow, & she's a slightly feisty sweetheart now. Only took 18 mos. #cats

"Traces 3 centuries of surveillance, discipline, & control as they migrated from the prison yard to the schoolroom, the workplace, the digital platform, & the public square. Documents how a nation built on liberty constructed an invisible infrastructure of observation that touches every citizen."

Like HARLAN COUNTY, USA. Duke Power's gun thug Basil Collins points gun at documentary director Barbara Kopple.

We got VERY lucky being able to see SUCH A PRETTY LITTLE BEACH on Monday. The Cinematheque closed the next day for A/C repairs. #filmsky #heatwave

Saw a play last night that really needs to have more eyes on it. I STRONGLY URGE you to go to The Factory Theater's production, TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS, for an original and very entertaining night out. thefactorytheater.com/portfolio/tw... #Chicago #theater #livetheatre

Happy #Caturday from Daisy and her scratching post.

Have a great day. I'll be going to the Obama Center - in October. #Juneteenth

Finally saw my FOY black-crowned night heron under some branches along a stream at Techny Basin (photo from Britannica), thanks to a nice couple out for their daily walk there. They also showed me a tree trunk half-gnawed away by beavers. #birds #Chicagobirding

Looks like a furry cormorant drying itself in the sun.

Saw LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR yesterday. Still thinking about it. Set in Chicago, it showed some Rush St. markers of my own life in the 1970s. And yes, it WAS that dangerous. Though I wasn't a bar hopper, I'm lucky to have made it out alive. And I saw the play advertised at the Happy Medium (below).

Watched THE BOOK THIEF for the 1st time. Favorite moment was when Liesl took a book off the pyre, put it under her jacket, and walked with her dad with a wisp of smoke surrounding her. The love of reading and power of words to heal (and hurt) was so powerful to me. #booksky

Helen Shapiro.

To everyone who thinks not voting is a rational choice.

Here's my list of LGBTQ-themed or -coded films (chronological order):

My choice of 20 LGBTQ-themed or -coded films that I like: #filmsky #PrideMonth

Not ideal format, I know, but this is the Sun-Times' coverage:

Boycott REI for unfair labor practices.

But the vehicle it is based on (from South Africa when Musk was growing up) probably has.

Apollo's Fire founder Jeannette Sorrell has a fan from TNG.
