I saw Mr Braugher in a play in a small off-Broadway theater many years ago, and his talent was ferocious. What a tremendous and terrible loss.

He was absolutely stellar actor and should have been around so much longer than this.

Memory, history, wayfinding, poetry—a transcendently lovely piece. It touches on the particular nostalgia we feel for lost places. I've feel that acutely now, as favorite landmarks are razed and my city of 35 years feels less familiar to me.

Years ago I was a bartender; many of the waitstaff were working thru grad school. Few had even a droplet of common sense. Favorite question ever was "How do you garnish wine/a beer?" SO tempted to let them put whipped cream & cherries on the pints of Bud for Table 3.
We once hired a woman who had a master's degree in performance violin. She didn't know how to use a rake.
Let me put it a different way. Assume you run a business. Do you want to hire someone who cannot read and write at a college level?

Yes! I love it and so many 70s films—I (mostly) prefer them to 80s/90s when things got aspirational(?). Wardrobe was ordinary; people got noticeably sweaty; clothes/hair got messy; chases/fights were scarier because they felt riskier pre-CGI (e.g. French Connection vs Bourne series).
There’s so much to love about 1974’s “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three”. One of them is how wonderfully ordinary everyone looks. It’s such a relief. There’s a tyranny of beauty in so many modern movies. Beautiful people, beautiful bodies. It’s as exhausting as it’s alienating.

If you would like to do a small thing to help undo the mark that Henry Kissinger left on the world, I recommend a donation to the HALO Trust, which was working to de-mine Cambodia when I visited in 2002. The work continues today, and will for years to come. www.halousa.org/where-we-wor...

Been seeing reports of kids coming home with Ornette Coleman records so please make sure you check your children’s candy to protect them from free jazz.

The danger is real, kids. 🎃
Parents... please check your children's candy tonight. I just went through Salomé Athena's haul and I found a copy of the Jorge Luis Borges short story collection "The Garden of Forking Paths". This metatextual exploration may be too advanced for young readers.
