I mean, it kinda would make sense for #FerrisBueller to be a time loop movie.
40 years ago, Ferris Bueller skipped school, stole a float, and made us all want to sing “Twist and Shout.” For this military brat, it was a moment of liberation. Here’s to a timeless reminder that joy can be rebellious. #FerrisBueller #DayOffTurns40 #80sClassic

Four films to get to know me.
Tonight's movie is actually on quite a few lists of "movies for springtime". It's Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) and it's in my top 30 all-time favorite movies! Definitely a great movie and it's free on PlutoTV!
A brash, cocky high school senior decides to cut school and is determined to experience a day of pure freedom with his girlfriend and best friend in downtown Chicago before graduating.
It stars Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara, Jennifer Grey, & Jeffrey Jones, with Edie McClurg, Charlie Sheen, & Ben Stein.
Written & directed by John Hughes, who also directed Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Sixteen Candles, Uncle Buck, and Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
Music by Ira Newborn, who composed the music for those same movies and many more!
Every time I watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off I am captivated by one of the young ladies on the float while he's "singing" Twist & Shout by the Beatles. She's the one with the shorter hair who at one point does a kick over his head and kinda jumps up and chest-bumps him. She's stunning.
I wonder how many times I've cancelled out of the Sublime Text nag screen over the years. Probably thousands.
If it were #foss and/or not $100, I'm sure I would have bought it years ago. Anyone out there using a better lightweight but capable text editor that I should replace it with on #linux?
If you say #emacs, you lose a testicle.
And finally, the only information you need about tariffs, courtesy of our @CultureDesk.
Oh no, what happened to the next line?
The next line is sooooo awesome!

Suddenly, it's relevant to learn about the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act again:

As President Trump announces his tariff plan in the White House's Rose Garden, here's a quick reminder of the last time the U.S used the tactic, courtesy of 1986's most famous economics teacher. "Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects?"
Anybody who has ever watched #FerrisBueller knows that raising #tariffs do not improve the #economy #trump #politics #movies #business #Authoritarian
