TCM with a Twist
Bringing the drinks to #TCMParty. Cocktail recipes/history. Also jazz, dogs and whatever else distracts from these trying times. And yes, politics bc the moment calls for it (1. Not affiliated with TCM, just a fan. 2. We sip to savor, drink sparingly.)

- So another thing I like about curling, they yell out their strategies and thoughts to each other. You know what's going on in their heads. It's fascinating. #CurlingisAwesome #Olympics
- @tomandlorenzo.bsky.social - Will you be reviewing the national costumes for the #MilanoCortina2026 Opening Ceremonies???

- Not enough. Accountability requires firings and prosecution.
- Reposted by TCM with a TwistThe biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
