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

Canter's Delicatessen, 2 A.M. Los Angeles, California 🌴 1966 📷 Lawrence Schiller
The most famous 1966 photograph of Canter's Deli in Los Angeles is a black-and-white nighttime shot titled "2 A.M., Canter's Delicatessen, Los Angeles, 1966" taken by renowned photographer Lawrence Schiller.
The Atmosphere: The photo embodies the classic 1960s LA nightlife. It highlights the glowing neon signage and large glass windows revealing a bustling interior.The Subculture Hub: By 1966, Canter’s had become a major late-night sanctuary for Hollywood’s counter-culture scene, rock musicians, hippies, and night owls. This demographic surged after the adjacent cocktail lounge, The Kibitz Room, opened in 1961.Historical Availability: The original shot is highly regarded in rock-and-roll and vintage LA photography circles. Authentic prints are preserved and sold through fine art outlets like the Morrison Hotel Gallery.

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts
A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

This is surely refreshing in the hot sun, but if you're watching the U.S. Open from the comfort of your own house, here's a better version: 5 melon balls muddled, 1½ oz gin, ¾ fino, ½ lemon juice, ½ honey syrup, pinch salt. Shake, strain over ice. finish w/ crushed raspberries + melon ball garnish.

This is exactly the wrong takeaway. Graham had tremendous name recognition and the sympathy vote... That these factors PLUS Trump's endorsement gave her *only* a 5% margin is the story. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/u...

Dolly Parton writing “I will always love you“ and “Jolene“ in the same day is mind blowing.

It’s like if da Vinci finished the Mona Lisa then turned around in the same day and wrote “Jolene“
