Loving the new show Barry on HBO, and its many scene-stealers, especially Henry Winkler as over-the-top acting instructor Gene Cousineau.

From the party of Lincoln to a nakedly cruel cult. Congratulations, billionaires–you finally caught a break!

I love old movies, but I’m happy to see all these handsy gorillas getting what fer.

Prompted by a short essay from Children of the Days: A Calendar of Human History. For twenty-two years the FBI tapped his telephone, read his mail and went through his garbage. They spied on Einstein because he was a spy for the Russians. So said his bulky police file. The file also said he had invented a death ray and a robot that could read minds. It said Einstein was a member, collaborator or fellow traveler of thirty-four Communist front organizations between 1937 and 1954, and was honorary chair of three Communist organizations.
