Watching High Noon II. Seems like it might be like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer II - Mast of Sanity. A sequel nobody really wanted, but actually not that bad

if you had a tv cartoon with an arch-enemy, the problem comes to be, since your heroes have to win at the end of every day, the arch enemy ends up looking less fearsome and more like Wile E. Coyote. It happened with Shredder in Ninja Turtles, Gargamel in Smurfs, Skeletor, Cobra Commander, etc.

Brazilian documentary photographer Sebastião Salgado passed away today at 81. No one used the medium better, I think, to capture both the difficulties of the human condition and the sheer magic of life. If you're not familiar with him, I urge you to find and explore his work in print form.

My youngest daughter's favorite shows are Mermicornos, Wild Kratts, Bluey and Paw Patrol. I'd rather she liked Jellystone, Let's Go Luna, Puppy Dog Pals and the Patrick Show. But what can you do? It's that generation gap.

Not sure why they choose now to attack Biden. There were things he did in his presidency I thought were mistakes. Some I thought Harris made in her campaign. But I don't know why keep going after them for it now. I don't think anyone wants them to learn lesson for if they run again or anything.

I missed Disaster is my Muse when it as at Film Forum, and was pleased to see it on PBS the other week, but am very annoyed to heard that the filmmakers had to cut some anti-Trump sentiment due to pressure from PBS or buy back the license for the film. www.documentary.org/online-featu...

Once when I was a kid, I checked out a book from the elementary school on how to be a plumber - because of the Super Mario bros game. There must be somebody out there who got into Italian Renaissance art due to the Ninja Turtles, but I've never met anyone who has.

In Mankell's Firewall the bad guys wanted to do a reset to redress the crimes of the colonial eras. In Eggers' the Every, they seemed to believe in their environmental mission... Writing about big tech guys, they probably had the same issue Graham Greene had when writing about Edward R. Lansdale.

The Discover / Capital One merger seems like it snuck up on everybody. We seem to be in the post Lina Khan-era now. Back to more mergers every week. Maybe one day it'll all be just one company
