Achievement unlocked: I watched Reds (1981). Been curious about this one for a long time. Excellent.

It's 3 hours 15 minutes.Started it a few nights ago, finished it today.

I didn't realize that Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson had acted together prior to Something's Gotta Give.

Trump’s Reckless Decision to Pursue Regime Change in Iran And the risks Democrats face if they fail to strongly oppose his war.

Good Chotiner interview (not the gotcha-kind) about Iran

I still don’t like Manic Pixie Dream Girl Betazoid, and the hologram girl’s speaking style (making her s’s into sh’s) makes it hard to understand her.

I wish I liked Starfleet Academy more. Last night’s episode was sooooo slow.

Really enjoyed this play about post-Soviet Russia and the struggles of transitioning to capitalism - it was hilarious (really!). Adam Chanler-Berat is always terrific, Steven Boyer is always madcap, David Turner was dryly hysterical, Rebecca Naomi-Jones was great as well.

I just watched a February 1989 episode of Newhart, and not ONLY did it have two references to Donald Trump, but it ALSO featured a 33-year-old Leslie Jordan in one scene.

Oh and it also had Dick meeting Merv Griffin.

Hail Mary!: Ryan Gosling Plays Final Jeopardy!
YouTube video by Jeopardy! Hail Mary!: Ryan Gosling Plays Final Jeopardy!

This is not from a real episode, it's a marketing tie-in for the Hail Mary movie, but it's pretty funny, and I guess it worked because I'm posting it.

When people say β€œthis word should have counted!” in NYT Spelling Bee, yes, they’re usually right, but on the other hand an additional word would increase the number of points needed to get to Genius/Queen Bee, so it wouldn’t necessarily make that any easier.

Notes on Anti-Jewish Hatred The failure of condoning antisemitism with silence.

"It’s not that our Jewish siblings don’t just feel unsafe, as though this is some failure of psychological strength on their part. They are, in fact, not safe. They are clearly not safe. Not here in the United States. Not in Israel. Not anywhere."

That’s only partly why. It was mainly because most Americans thought Clinton was doing a good job as president and that the country was on the right track.

Posting on social media is weird. I post many things that very few people besides myself - perhaps even zero - find interesting. I guess lots of us do this. For most of us, whether or not anyone acknowledges any particular post is a crapshoot. Yet we still do it. Why? Because humans like community.

Just wanted to note that I've finally been reading War and Peace! I started at the beginning of the month and I'm just over a third of the way through. I went with the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation, which has its fans and its critics. I'm not having any problems with it.
