  1. Just watched Frank Capra’s “You Can’t Take It With You” a couple of days ago, which features Ann Miller (who was said to have been untrained at it) giving pointe a go onscreen. There’s a tale that Jimmy Stewart found her backstage weeping at the pain she was experiencing while filming was underway.

  2. First Lady fed up:

    Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

    People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

    A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

    Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

  3. Speaking of focusing one’s body weight over a tiny area;
    wearing stiletto heels can create very high stresses on flooring. These stresses can actually damage certain types of stone and wood flooring.

    For a brief second or so, the entire body weight is confined to one tiny stiletto heel area (about 0.1 square inches). For a body weight of 120 pounds, the imposed stress on the flooring will be on the order of 1200 pounds per square inch.

    Just another useless factoid that popped into my head.

  4. I looked at Melania’s X post, sdferr, and there were already some really hateful replies.
