"A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody" is a #popularSong written by #IrvingBerlin in 1919 which became the theme song of the #ZiegfeldFollies. The first verse and refrain are considered part of the #GreatAmericanSongbook and are often covered as a #jazzStandard.

Sunday Morning Reading

Time for some Sunday Morning Reading on this Mother’s Day, with a short stack of culture, some tech, some politics, and the Ziegfeld Follies tossed in for good measure.

First up is a good long read from Spencer Kornhaber wondering if we’ve entered a cultural dark age. Provocative in parts, predictable in others, it’s worth your time for the journey it takes. Check out Is This The Worst-Ever Era of American Pop Culture?

Kaitlyn Tiffany says We’re Back to the Actually Internet. It’s about fact checking, the need for fact checking, and actually about how fact checking doesn’t really matter.

We may have beat the term fascism to death long before the real beating actually begins, and it’s the Bible thumpers who seem far too eager for the end times with their wishes for some sort of Armageddon beat down. Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor take a look at The Rise of End Times Fascism.

The Apple enthusiast world is still going through some things and will continue to for the foreseeable future. Denny Henke at Beardy Guy Musings is chronicling his thoughts about his move away from using Apple products. His latest, Are Apple Enthusiasts Miserable? takes a look at some of the angst and tensions he sees.

Indie app Developer Thomas Ricourad, the developer of the app Ice Cubes for Mastodon, among other apps, is searching. He’s not alone. Check out Having A Clear Vision In A Blurred World.

Matthew Gurewitsch takes a quick look The Story of a Rose, an upcoming look at an almost forgotten era in A Ziegfeld Girl Recalls The Forgotten War.

Happy Mother’s Day to all.

It's been a long while since I posted a Ziegfeld Girl. I should remedy that.

Yeah. 😜 I "make myself" go there to do my morning spew, and I crosspost #Audrey, #ZiegfeldFollies, and #RandomShoes, but otherwise, no. I hang out here in #HephalumpWorld, pop over if my notifications buzz, scroll a hot second, and come back home.

I won't do Threads, because Meta. I absolutely LOATHE that my "only" resource for keeping in touch with blood family is Meta; I wear several eCondoms when I visit. (at threads dot net is already preemptively blocked (by me))

I do believe it's time to call up another #Ziegfeld girl.
