Reheated Laughter: The Sitcom’s Long Retreat from Risk
Norman Lear did something in 1971 that no network executive would permit today: he put a bigot in a living room chair and dared America to recognize itself. "All in the Family" premiered to confusion, outrage, and then unprecedented ratings, because Lear understood that comedy's sharpest instrument is discomfort. Archie Bunker worked because he was allowed to be wrong in specific, recognizable, unredacted ways.

The Borrowed Saint: The Book That Watched Me Back
I have been thinking about mirrors for forty-eight years. The thinking started in a dressing room at a community playhouse in Lincoln, Nebraska, where a row of mirrors lined the wall above a counter cluttered with spirit gum and cold cream and the residue of faces that had been built and removed hundreds of times. I was thirteen years old and I was watching an actor apply a prosthetic nose, and the thing that struck me…

Morgen erscheint ein lustiges und sehr relevantes Lied, das ich zusammen mit der Musik-Comedy-Truppe Frau Rotkohl aufgenommen habe. Es ist ein WM-Song. Er ist lustig. Er ist, sagte ich schon, sehr relevant. Es wäre total nett (und wichtig), wenn du mithelfen könntest, die blöden Streamingportal-Algorithmen zu beeinflussen und dir den Song noch heute „presaven“ würdest. Danke!

Out of 500,000 Russian soldiers in Ukraine, about 1,000 are killed or severely wounded every day, that's 0.2%.
This gives soldiers entering Ukraine a half-life of roughly 1 year: half of them are taken out within a year.

a couple of weeks a go we did a beautiful walk around a village nearby. No mountain, no summit, just a walk that we did a year ago as well.
But what is "usual" for me might not be for others. That's what I'm trying to keep in the back of my mind whenever I'm out and about and think, that a scene probably isn't worth a photo because it's too ... normal to me.
I wrote a bit about our walk:
moviegalaxies: Moviegalaxies, movies 410-466 (2018)
Social graphs for over 700 movies from the moviegalaxies.com website. Each node represents a character in a movie and each edge is a same-scene appearance between two characters in that movie. The weight gives the number of same-scene appearances. Networks are extracted from movie scripts automatically.
This network has 38 nodes and 96 edges.

Here's a reminder that you can block hashtags on Mastodon. I'm pretty consistent about tagging politics, typically with USpol or ScottPolitics or both, but also topical tags such as IranWar2026 and POTUS47. If you don't want to see those types of toots, then I encourage you to block them.

with the additional openings reserved for Afrikaners.
This comes as the administration continues to block the entry of refugees from other countries.
