Here’s the thing about the Vance pick: it’s probably unhelpful in electoral terms. But, in terms of governance, it’s further evidence that they’re Going For It. Trump 1 was hobbled in his authoritarian attempt by the admin and GOP. Trump 2 will be aided by both. They’re gonna go for it.

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

Shattered at the loss of Donald Sutherland, who from the neo-noir sensuality of KLUTE to the Gothic dread of DON'T LOOK NOW and the chilling loneliness of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS influenced every corner of the world of modern film. A singular talent, and what a legacy for all of us.

Getting old is truly watching the titans of your youth falling in rapid succession. Bill Walton, Jerry West, now Willie Mays. These guys were legends before my time and the model for the sports icons of my childhood. RIP to some absolute real ones.

Mayor Adams is proposing $58.3 million in budget cuts for NYPL libraries. Further cuts would mean even more service reductions, leading most branches to be open a mere five days a week. (Right now every branch in NYC is open six days a week). www.nypl.org/speakout?utm...

Hey pals, one of the last living local comic shops here in Seattle just got smashed and grabbed, quite literally. Anything you can do to spread the word and support them would be MASSIVELY appreciated. Please show some love to Dreamstrands Comics.

RIP Akira Toriyama. You were my gateway to manga and anime and were part of my favorite jrpg of all time. Legend.
