I just watched The Untouchables this weekend (part of a museum show).  Copaganda and pro war on drugs may not cut it any more.

I recently saw Come and See (again) at Lincoln Center.  It was part of a series of movies put together by Jordan Peele.  The short beforehand was Thriller.

I totally agree with this.  If you want to appeal an outcome or sentence from a lower court you won’t be getting  a new trial - the higher court will look at the record and if it is unclear you are out of luck.

Great list.  Dead of Night is a wonderful film, a little something for everyone - gothic, comedy, madness, meta.  Good stuff.

Not sure if it was mentioned, but you can ask a subscriber.  I get the Washington Post and the NYT and both allow me to “gift” a number of articles per month.  I don’t live near DC, but an annual electronic Post subscription is $40.

I’m old so I remember this 23 year old article about robots making sushi.  https://www.nytimes.com/1998/02/26/technology/yo-robot-i-ll-have-some-sushi-and-a-beer.html

I like the MFK Fisher allusion.

Whatever one thinks of Meghan McCain, she will likely be replaced by another conservative host.  See this article from a few years back in the NYT Magazine that notes that the View loses viewers when it doesn’t have a conservative host.  https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/22/magazine/the-view-politics-tv.html  Gotta sell…

I use it in my professional writing.  After all, mistakes were made.

A good book that includes excellent writing on offal is A.J. Liebling’s Between Meals.

I use the Simple bank.  It is an on line bank and allows me to set up recurring expenses for which it takes a regular amount from my paycheck.  It is essentially an online envelope system.  

I recently saw this list of everything that could be in a financial advise column:

If it is a teen with a phone, how about a password manager.  LastPass has a family plan.

I purchased a microwave for my mother. It was her first. It was a number of years ago.

If I don’t go to a car wash how do I wash the undercarriage of my car after they lay down the salt?

My mother says that if you get a single recipe from a cookbook it is a plus - so get them from the library.

I had a rabbi once who put it in guacamole.

Anyone who reads this article should also read Rich’s excellent memoir “Ghost Light”
