Kurosawa films on TCM on 4/1

TCM is running a series of films directed by Akira Kurosawa tomorrow starting with Drunken Angel. The star, Toshiro Mifune, would have been 100 years old this year. I recommend all of them but my favorites are:

Yojimbo and its sequel Sanjuro

High and Low

Today is Toshiro Mifune’s 100th birthday and @tcm is celebrating by programming 24 hours of his films. You may know the samurai movies but my fave is “High and Low” where he plays a shoe salesman caught up in a kidnapping gone wrong pic.twitter.com/Gyvg6D2eZ6

Trump lies about coronavirus tests

Trump claims nobody is saying there aren’t enough tests. Just another lie.

Amazing story in @nytimes: the President had a conversation with Governors about the crisis in which he lied to them, and then the White House lied about the call, even though the Times had a recording. Great work by @maggieNYT, @jmartNYT and Mike Bakerhttps://t.co/kgJwfhgHgz

Trump telling governors “I haven’t heard about testing being a problem” tells you everything you need to know about his command of this situation

Maryland’s Republican Governor Larry Hogan said there remains a shortage of tests, personal protective equipment, and ventilators in every state. “No state has enough tests.”

Trump’s lies and self-congrats are dangerous.

Yesterday Trump said he "hasn't heard about testing for a week."

It's just shocking how gleefully disconnected from this crisis he is.

Today there aren't enough tests to beat this virus. But there could be enough if Trump showed leadership and took control of the supply chain.

I was looking for data comparing testing Per State, Per capita to see if Red States are under testing in a strategic attempt to keep Trump & GOP numbers low
I couldn't find the info but the raw data's there so I did it myself
The majority of States w/ low testing ARE Red States👇

He blames it on Obama when the virus didn’t exist during the Obama years. Liar!

Covers: If Sugar Was As Sweet As You

“If Sugar Was As Sweet As You” was written and recorded by Joe Tax. Rockpile (Dave Edmunds lead vocals) covered in on their 1980 album Seconds of Pleasure. They played it fast and like a 1950s song instead of an R&B song.

this should spur some reflection among business/opinion elites who have been voicing the 11% view in something of an echo chamberhttps://t.co/epxMzcgPAs

America has officially gone berserk.
Concern about #COVID19 is now partisan: Democrats fear the #pandemic, Republicans think the #coronavirus is no big deal.
This is not science.
This is "belief" – as in, "I believe it's ok right now to party hearty at a beach kegger." pic.twitter.com/7bYt8tfFqH

Majority of Americans don’t trust what Trump says about the virus

I don’t trust him. He’s a liar.

New NPR/PBS/Marist poll re: virus: "Just 37% of Americans now say they had a good amount or a great deal of trust in what they're hearing from the president, while 60% say they had not very much or no trust at all in what he's saying." https://t.co/rlWaN6wTF5

Trump's magical lies are failing.

New NPR poll finds only 37% trust what Trump says about coronavirus — while 50% trust what the media says about it.

The megalomaniacal prioritizing of protecting Trump above all else isn't working.

Trump did not push for coronavirus testing earlier

A previous tweet of this quote did not make it adequately clear that it is Trump who did not push for adequate testing, not Secretary of Health and Human Services Azar. Here is the whole quote for context. @ddiamond pic.twitter.com/ZZ2aPF53m6
