Gene Hackman's performance in Hoosiers was one of the first times in my life that I understood what great acting could be. He's flawed, obstinate, & vulnerable. He cast a spell that made 8-year-old me forget it was all make-believe. Truly one of the all-time great film actors.

Trachtenberg did a lot with the role of Dawn despite being added to the show well into its run and having to work within what we now know was a toxic environment. RIP. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

The “run it like a start up” grift is a more extreme version of the “run it like a business” trend for infrastructure. We had decades of people trying to run things like businesses they never should have—public goods, like schools, universities, and hospitals. That, plus technophilia, got us here.

The Trump-led realignment with Russia, invoking a shared orientation towards authoritarian politics, crony capitalism, and imperial expansion, feels as epochal as the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Bad for Ukraine like M-R was for Poland. Trump demands Ukrainian resources like Stalin demanded Polish

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...
