If you were checking out perennial cable home for vintage films Turner Classic Movies last Sunday at midnight in search of holiday movie comfort food, you might have left a little confused. Or enchanted, intrigued and delightfully weirded out. That’s all depending on your reaction to the network’s airing of a collection of turn-of-the-century (the 20th century) silent holiday shorts from the years 1901-25.

Health and safety update for university community members
Welcome to this weekâs Friday Futurecast.
Message from President Joan Ferrini-Mundy:
Dear members of the UMaine and UMM communities,
As we conclude classes for the semester today and enter the final exam period I wish faculty, staff, and students all the best as the semester ends. I thank all members of our community, once again, for helping us reach this point, having cared for ourselves, one another, and our community. This collective effort to support one another through so many personal and professional challenges, while at the same time supporting the state, using science, and continuing learning has been an extraordinary demonstration of innovation and dedication, perseverance and compassion, and flexibility and collaboration on the part of all.

National trends often start on the coasts and move inland. Craft brewing first got big in Oregon, Maine and Vermont. Now it’s everywhere, and Maine is a major craft-beer state.
Another trend may have started in Vermont but hasn’t spread much, though it well might. And maybe it should. In the past two years, four colleges in Vermont have closed and two of the four state colleges have been merged into a single university.
