What’s amazing about this story is that they *reversed* it. It’s not just a treatment that can stave it off or delay it. It *cures* Alzheimer’s. I know lots of research initially seems hopeful in mice and then doesn’t go anywhere, but this could be momentous.
I cried.

Wanna see real-life miracles? Fund scientific research.
A team of US scientists just cured Alzheimer’s in mice — and there is now hope that the disease can be reversed in humans.

Favorite comment on BB from Bruce LaBruce.
If only she had died young in a car crash like her character in "Contempt." Why did it have to be Françoise Dorléac who died in a car crash! It's not fair!

Norman Rockwell got woke in the 1960s, and the trajectory of his work is...not a great fit for the Trump's administration's nativist propaganda.

Reading the Marty Supreme critiques, I think my favorite observation is from Alison Wilmore, "In terms of wallowing in discomfort, Frownland makes Marty Supreme look like Forrest Gump." I would say in the Safdie/Bronstein universe Marty Supreme pretty much is Forrest Gump, if Gump was a nogoodnik.

The Daniel Lopatin score for Marty Supreme kept making me think of an '80s version of the film with Tom Cruise as a far smoother, more physically appealing version of Marty... hm, maybe I'm just thinking of Risky Business.

Laura Belin: I was alarmed (though not surprised) when CBS News boss Bari Weiss intervened to stop “60 Minutes” from airing a segment.
