@SallyGold Observations from Iowa- We have arrived in the New World of Iowa and have discovered there are natives! Their society is shockingly advanced - for people so far removed from civilization. Not every home has the milk of almonds. How do they survive in such harsh lands?

The cat standoffs in the neighborhood are something else.

@FormerlyFroJoe @jcauditor @ICPL Lol no. Caucuses only happen for Presidential election years. It is a sight to see, though!

I voted early over my lunch break and so should you! Thank you to the @jcauditor Auditor’s Office and the @ICPL for making it so easy and fast in Downtown Iowa City!

Asking the most important questions: which is better?

@notrealMolly It takes skill to get every aspect of this room wrong.

@ZacharyBerg Omg zooming in on the RANDOM BLUE WINDOW FRAMING

What they did to the Brown Derby building is a crime.

Nobody told me the ending to “Tár” was going to be the funniest thing ever.

The @ICAnimalCenter has added a new catio thanks to an anonymous donor! 🙌❤️🐈‍⬛ The center and @FACFIowaCity will be hosting a ribbon cutting & open house this Saturday, which is #nationalcatday!!! 🗓 Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022 🕚 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. 📍3910 Napoleon Ln

If I made a video about the five things that kept me up at night like Taylor Swift did for her new record, it would be much less album-worthy: anxiety, accidentally drinking caffeine, white noise fan not working, watching @CriticalRole , playing Super Mario Galaxy again.

@thepressboxpod @SeanFennessey How is Ace in the Hole not yet mentioned? It’s hilarious, prescient, it’s a Billy Wilder joint, and the basis of the “Radio Bart” Simpsons episode youtu.be/0l5h8k9N9pI

Next month, we're *finally* doing a pod about the BEST MEDIA MOVIES. There are a lot of them, even if we start with All the President's Men. I'll put some nominees in this thread. Please add recommendations and Siskel-and-Ebert thumb votes. -BC

Love all the Angela Lansbury praise. If you haven’t, watch “The Manchurian Candidate.” She gives one of the definitive villain performances in a truly great, weird movie. I can also rant about how the movie predicted all the 70s paranoid cinema a decade early, but maybe later.

They may have gone Hollywood, but these Iowans are doing awesome work to celebrate cinema in the Hawkeye State. I’ll be there Day 1 to see it, @beckandwoods !

Kevin Harlan. 🐐

Which rejected title for American Graffiti are you? I’m 100% Burger City Blues.

Teddy’s in Downtown Iowa City has closed & is being replaced by a liquor store. So sad. It was the only Teddy’s not in Hawaii and we let it slip between our fingers. Goodnight, sweet prince. May your above average burgers, good fries, & great chicken tenders live on in memory.

@wcrtchicago @SageRosenfels18 Yes, getting a contract from an employer is definitely the same as stealing millions of dollars from tax payers.

@SageRosenfels18 How much money did you take from NFL owners and fans for your lackluster play? Just curious. I agree there is some questionable stuff, but glass houses my friend.

Since retirement, I have been lucky to avoid stealing millions of dollars from the poorest people in my state.

***in a business meeting*** MY FACE: [very attentive, appearing to listen intently] MY BRAIN:

@TheHoopCentral Probably the guy who has actually played in the past 16 months.

Which player is better right now?
