Doing a bit of dialect work for β€œWaitress” at the 5th, halfway through recording Christina Baldwin’s gorgeous novel β€œThe Beekeeper’s Question”, and next week we start rehearsals for β€œFiddler on the Roof” at WICA.

Dig it.

Right? I said to Tim that I wanted to see a montage of all the political figure impressions… and I notice they didn’t include The Manchurian Cantaloupe or the Swasticar Boss in their β€œquestionable hosts”.

Look, I wouldn’t want to work for him either, but also … wondering if all these Kennedy Center board member resignations are just making room for a bunch of Dolores Umbridge-types…?

The Zodiac Twelve | Ep. 275 Tzi Ma (Five Blind Dates, Interior Chinatown) and Jimmy Wong (Mulan, Wish Dragon) co-star in an action-packed legend about the origin of the Chinese zodiac animals.

Happy Lunar New Year! To celebrate, check out this episode from the folks at WBUR… I play the cat!

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Absolutely. And yet, the people I’ve wished I could talk to about all of this more than anyone are the folks of that generation. Even just little things like the booing of the past presidents and their spouses at the inauguration is such a head shaker.

The Bishop Who Pleaded With Trump: β€˜Was Anyone Going to Say Anything?’ Bishop Budde locked eyes with President Trump and made a plea for mercy β€” and the war over spiritual authority in America was ignited anew.

Better to have said it than to have ignored his vitriol:

I don’t disagree… and maybe instead of squeezing it out, we get an awarenessβ€”hell, a celebrationβ€”of all our weird twitchy stuff?

Already received five emails from US Department of Justice notifying me of status change for #January6th defendants who physically assaulted my US Capitol Police client @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social.

Yes, these are ppl who harmed a police officer.

What happened to #BlueLivesMatter in GOP?

I’m headed back to France this spring to honor the members of the Resistance and Underground who sheltered my grandfather during WWII.
I keep wondering who’s going to be on my doorstep someday, needing shelter, while the world implodes around me. Doesn’t feel like an academic exercise anymore…

Oh buddy, I dealt with that all spring and through the summer. It is NO JOKE. Somatic and chiropractic work were what saved me… Hope you get relief soon…
