@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!

[Zach Berg @ZacharyBerg]

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.

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

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 https://t.co/J7o2V0W1AQ

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.

[Zach Berg @ZacharyBerg]

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 !

[Beck/Woods @beckandwoods]

Movie theaters are essential for bringing cinema and community together - which is why we are excited to announce we are building our own theater THE LAST PICTURE HOUSE in our Iowa hometown to enlighten, entertain, and engage new audiences in 2023! https://t.co/tUIWzgXifs

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

[John Barker | ATRM @JohnBarkerATRM]

The studio weren't keen on the title AMERICAN GRAFFITI (1973), so made the below suggestions to George Lucas.

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.
