Y’ALL’S. I’m extremely proud of this month’s “Hold Up,” editor/producer Glenn Morgan joins to talk about his 1999 narrative reconstruction of von Stroheim’s “Greed” for Turner Classic Movies, and we wisely brought aboard film historian Ray Morton to interview him!

My wife @alisonstarlocke.bsky.social just made me turn off the lights so she can watch “The Amityville Horror,” and I said, “So you can watch this incredibly scary movie about mortgage fraud?”
She also made me post this.
But James Brolin is dreamy with that beard and mullet set.

At my 2nd Dodgers game today - first Dodgers game was 30 years ago to the day, Aug 10, 1995, when the Dodgers had to forfeit because the fans threw all their free baseballs on the field. That was the trip we scouted and secured my first apartment in LA - we moved in two weeks later!

It’s very funny for tech guys to come over from jobs where someone is called the “Chief Imagination Officer” and discover that the Medicare office just wants to process the payments
“I personally was pretty surprised, actually, at how efficient the government was,” Sahil Lavingia told NPR's Juana Summers.
Former DOGE engineer says federal waste and fraud were 'relatively nonexistent'
NPR's Juana Summers talks with Sahil Lavingia, who worked for the Department of Government Efficiency as a software engineer assigned to the Department of Veterans Affairs, about his experience.
