I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Trump is very much the CRACKERS’ problem …

See, when all of this Epstein activity was going on...Donald Trump was a Democrat. It's very much his problem.

You might also like Geoff Dyer’s “The Ongoing Moment” … also by a man who doesn’t own a camera.
A non-photographer friend of mine sent me this book, which arrived in today’s mail. It’s a pop culture exploration of the history of photography through the 19th century into the early years of the 20th. I knew a fair amount of what’s inside, but learned a lot as well. Flashes of Brilliance. 👍
