Michele Morgan was a French actress who also made films in the US. I think the first one I saw her in was Passage to Marseille with Humphrey Bogart. I have also seen Port of Shadows and Joan of Paris. She was excellent and I recommend these films. They are all on discs.

Bubbles (Michael Jackson’s chimp) is still alive!
I hadn’t heard about Bubbles for a long time.
35 years after Jeff Koons cast Michael Jackson and his chimp pal Bubbles in porcelain, would you believe that Bubbles lives on? In a Florida animal sanctuary. Koons of course lives on, too, in a state of constant & giddy reinvention. A gem by @danielvrileyhttps://t.co/FzxZKRQGZj

Republican hypocrisy on abortion
Republicans not only want to limit abortion access in states they control, they want to limit it everywhere. They believe in states rights except when they don’t like what states are doing.
The want to make abortion a crime.
The anti-abortion movement has always been clear: They believe abortion is murder. They will punish women accordingly. https://t.co/08DamqiuC0

Tweets on the awful Florida book ban
DeSantis is terrible
I read the memo he sent to teachers.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) February 24, 2023
It sets up a byzantine, multi-step book approval process that makes it virtually impossible for schools to have any books that aren't preapproved by the state. It's a book ban. No doubt.
With felony charges for teachers who don't comply. https://t.co/csJ93Yvy7n

Once again, these books aren't simply banned. It is a FELONY for teachers to let students borrow them, possibly including jail time.
