Guy Benson @guypbenson - Twisting Animal Farm into anti-capitalism propaganda is…Orwellian.

The new Animal Farm movie: "Rather than serving as a critique of totalitarian Soviet Russia, the film shifts its focus towards the dangers of capitalism and corporate corruption."
Unreal. Reread the book instead. A classic I revisit every few years.

Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke - One of the tragic realities of this absolute hero’s situation is that if he had shot the terrorist, he likely would have been the one facing charges. Instead, he showed restraint and ended up being shot himself.

UPDATE: The hero of Bondi has been named. He is Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner who grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists, he was subsequently shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. Praying that his surgery goes well. He is currently in hospital.

Hemp Industry & Farmers of America @hifa_health - Congress treated hemp like an ugly-sweater contest gone wrong – grabbing a hot glue gun at the last minute, slapping on extra tinsel, and ruining the whole thing.
But imagine if they’d given the industry more time.
We wouldn’t be stuck wearing the mess they made.

Hollywood Golden Age of Cinema @HGACinema - “Gone with the Wind” premiered at Loew's Grand Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia on this day, December 15, 1939.
About 300,000 people came out in Atlanta for the film's premiere at the Loew's Grand Theatre on December 15, 1939. It was the climax of three days of festivities hosted by Mayor William B. Hartsfield, which included a parade of limousines featuring stars from the film, receptions, thousands of Confederate flags, and a costume ball.
Eurith D. Rivers, the governor of Georgia, declared December 15 a state holiday. An estimated 300,000 Atlanta residents and visitors lined the streets for seven miles to view the procession of limousines that brought stars from the airport. Only Leslie Howard and Victor Fleming chose not to attend: Howard had returned to England due to the outbreak of World War II, and Fleming had fallen out with Selznick and declined to attend any of the premieres.
Hattie McDaniel was also absent, as she and the other Black cast members were prevented from attending the premiere due to Georgia's Jim Crow laws, which kept them from sitting with their white colleagues.
Upon learning that McDaniel had been barred from the premiere, Clark Gable threatened to boycott the event, but McDaniel persuaded him to attend. Premieres in New York and Los Angeles followed; the latter attended by some of the actresses who had been considered for the part of Scarlett, among them Paulette Goddard, Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford.
At the 12th Academy Awards, “Gone with the Wind” received ten Academy Awards (eight competitive, two honorary) from thirteen nominations, including wins for Best Picture, Best Director (Fleming), Best Adapted Screenplay (posthumously awarded to Sidney Howard), Best Actress (Leigh), and Best Supporting Actress (Hattie McDaniel, becoming the first Black American to win an Academy Award). It set records for the total number of wins and nominations at the time.
