Glad the Apollo 13 movie is getting reruns lately.
This scene is even more moving today: right, Tom Hanks playing Jim Lovell; left, cameo appearance by actual Jim Lovell (1928 Mar 25 - 2025 Aug 7).

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

An open letter to white men = That your skin and my own are white is significant only insofar as it is a dismal coincidence. That you are “proud to be white” is but a pathetic confession of your spiritual poverty, made all the more pitiable by your need for public expression of it.

Congratulations to you. And now will you please step aside while America attends to the urgent business of saving its life? MARTIN M.
