RIP, Tatsuya Nakadai. :(

He’s the lead in two of my favorite movies, the villain in a third, and a walk-on with no lines in a fourth. But I really need to see this one.

Once again I say, I just hope the new Nuremberg trials are televised and I live long enough to watch.

Yup. Miserable sub-mediocre excuses for people trying to make everyone else suffer for their own deficiencies.

I only read _The Great Divorce_ years after I no longer considered myself a Christian but I found it quite inspiring and moving. Nothing hits me in the feels like a redemption arc — but in real life they are pretty sadly rare.

(I also like the democratic socialist brown guy, to be clear. That’s expected. For Agent Orange to do so, or at least to go all out acting like he does, however … wow.)

The wreckage of the scuttled Imperial German Navy off Scapa Flow in Scotland is the best source of steel for Geiger counters.

It has the least radioisotope contamination, since it went underwater before any atomic bombs ever went off.
