As in Portland from, roughly, '15-'21, so it is now in LA and, soon enough, elsewhere: Protests are noisy, lippy, sometimes outrageous, but always peaceful and safe; LEO, whatever the flavor, shows up, and things become tense, then hostile, then outright violent. Who are the thugs, exactly?

Andy is a treasured friend and, in decades of professional and personal acquaintance, as true as the day is long -- which is saying something in June (and, for that matter, in publishing). I stand with him and @backlisted.bsky.social and am so sorry that all this has come to pass. Onward, pallie! 👊❤️

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

I learned to my chagrin that the Early Kickoff podcast, which offers about 10-12 minutes of soccer/footy news each weekday, is going silent as of today. Does anybody know of a similar headline-ish soccer/footy pod of similar length? Not an hour of chat, but 10-20 mins of top news items?

A lot of people know about the Germans in the space program, but the more relevant engineer might be Qian Xuesen, the MIT/CalTech aerospace professor who co-founded JPL and was sent to recruit the Germans. We deported him the 1950s. He became the leader of China’s missile program.

I honestly can't think of a TV series that has made me happy/empathy-cry as regularly as "Welcome to Wrexham," and that despite my often knowing what's going to happen, sports-wise. Just a brilliant show and story. 🥲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚽️🐉

A mite late, but love it: “I listened. I did a scene with a girl, and she did most of the talking, so I listened. Come to find out, that’s what you’re supposed to do when you act is listen.” -- Joe Don Baker on how he got admitted to the Actors Studio at the height of its late-'50s fame and glory.

I know how protracted the process of writing and publishing a book can be and how news events catch us all by surprise, but I still can't shake the mental image I have of Jake Tapper going around the wards at a Shriners' hospital and mocking kids for being bad at kickball.

As I said on MSNBC, in 1960 white evangelical christians accused JFK that he would put the Pope over our Constitution. Today we have a new Pope who supports our Constitution more than our current President. And the white christians support this anti-constitutional President and attack the Pope.
