Fire up the DVR! There are lots of terrific movies on TCM this month.

As I write this post Sam and I are riveted by James Comey’s testimony before Congress via live streaming video on RawStory.com. This is GREAT STUFF, people, and if you’re not watching, you should be. This is just as good as the Watergate hearings from the early 1970s and probably even more significant. Be an involved American today and tune in, okay?

I guess I should begin with a big batch of very cool FREE FONTS that includes lots of scripts and display fonts, nearly all of which come with multiple styles for your typesetting pleasure. I think my favorites here are “Vanilatte,” “Strife,” “BangBang” and “Gray Skies.” I’ll throw in download links below the graphic, okay?


Time to fire up the DVR! In case you might be interested in a month packed with top-quality entertainment, it’s the Howdygram’s honor to list Turner Classic Movies’ best films for the rest of June …and in chronological order for your convenience. (Movies with teeny red stars are my personal favorites.)
