A quick 🧵 on what seems to be Trump's plan to obliterate the Senate's advise and consent responsibility so that he can recess appoint his cabinet, or at least those members who lack the votes to get confirmed by the Senate. 1/

Spielberg: “I need a song for an action movie I’m doing.” JOHN WILLIAMS gave him THIS. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981)


Murphy should be voted out and his law repealed.

#OTD in 1882, William "Bull" Halsey was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He would go on to command the Third Fleet during WWII. Here is Fleet Admiral Halsey making a rare TV appearance as the mystery guest on the game show WHAT'S MY LINE? in 1951.

Police in uniform should never speak at any political rally. Can’t overstate this. Because it’s so important. Again, police in uniform should never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never speak at any political rally.

History is going to one day make us feel ashamed for this era in America, but if history could hurry up a bit that would be great

This rare color film shows USS Enterprise in NY for #NavyDay in 1945. To outsmart the souvenir-seeking New Yorkers who had stripped USS Missouri, the crew put out a bucket of old nails with a sign stating they had been captured from the Japanese. Nails were gone within 5 minutes.

His face when these ladies start to sing the Marines’ Hymn tells you everything you need to know—pride, honor, and a lifetime of memories that come rushing back. Semper Fi, sir 🫡

The legendary JOHN WILLIAMS conducts a wonderful salute in 2002 of fellow Oscar winners scores to some of the most famous Films ever made. Close your eyes - if you dare - and see how many you can match with the Movie. Wonderful stuff.

Literally so frustrating that local Spokesman reporters broke this THREE years ago and there is no credit line in a national story about it. People love to say “read local news” but then never do it in practice. Anyways, read the @SpokesmanReview story. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

As @Jim_Brunner pointed out, @EmmaEpperly and I broke this story in the @SpokesmanReview in January 2021. No mention of our reporting in this Politico/E&E piece, which presents the fact that Trump blocked disaster assistance to fire victims as novel info. spokesman.com/stories/2021/j…

#OTD in 1968, Marine Lt. Col. Robert Guay and Sikorsky pilot Byron Graham performed a series of loops and rolls in a CH-53A to test the enormous Sea Stallion's maneuverability characteristics. The maneuvers were unprecedented for a helicopter of its size.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Early in Star Trek: TNG, I did simulated computer screen animation using conventional (ancient) acetate animation cels, shot onto 35mm film. It was easy enough to buy blank cels in Los Angeles, but how to get them shot onto film?

I rented a $17k lens to photograph the recent starship launch in detail. When I aligned and stitched all the photos I took together, it made a unique video showing the entire event from launch to catch. I hope to ride on Starship one day.
