I’ve often walked from my house to the University of Memphis campus, a journey of about 10 blocks. Never realized what a charmed life I’ve been living

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're on the bridge of the Enterprise. Kirk is standing in gold uniform and seems perturbed about something perturbing going on. Closed caption reads, "NOTHING MAKES SENSE."

2000 properly belongs to the 20th century, but The NY Times let me count β€œBest In Show” and β€œWerckmeister Harmonies (both from that year). And I couldn’t leave them out since they’re two of my favorite films (and, I think, they nicely represent the range of my cinematic tastes).

Israel has attacked over 25 hospitals in Gaza since Oct 7, 2023.

Facilities like Al-Ahli, Indonesian, Al-Amal, Al-Awda, Kamal Adwan, Al-Quds, Al-Aqsa, Nasser & more have been bombed, raided, or destroyed.

The destruction of Gaza’s health system is systemic and strategic.

Trump told this same story (about William Levitt and the loss of momentum) at the Boy Scout Jamboree in 2017.

It landed better with the scouts than it did with the West Point cadets (I think because, in the Boy Scout speech, he leaned more on the β€œsex party boat” angle)
