Someone give the poor boy a skort
Protest waggery in Culver City
His Awfulness just addressed NATO as "Gentlemen...."
That Borgen woman would have this mess sorted before dinner.
Asked to comment on tomorrow's planned execution of a young protester in Iran, Trump said, "Oh, I haven't heard about that one."
He added, catching up. "But we're going to have a very strong response."
HE HADN'T HEARD OF THAT ONE. This is the man who's setting American foreign policy.
Dear Rest of the World,
We don't like our President either. If it's not a lot of trouble, could you please lasso this sequined cowboy and his entire posse of wannabe action stars, cuff and blindfold them and fly them to where they belong. In custody at The Hague.
Come see Ryan Gosling before he was a mega-Goose!
in The Believer, a terrific film about a Jewish teen who became a Nazi. The newly restored 2001 film will play at Laemmle Monica Sat, Dec 6, with me and director Henry Bean in post-screening Q&A. Tix: indiecollect.org
"And are you ready to say you're sorry to the class, Stephen? No? Well then, Teacher is sorry to say we must have a word with Mummy, until which time you must remain in the corner. With luck, forever. Back you go, there's a good chap."

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Who is the piggiest of them all?
RIP, brilliant Prunella Scales. And what a scale, all the way from the ineffably bossyboots Sybil Fawlty to a wry, knowing Queen Liz in Alan Bennett's A Question of Attribution, she was pure genius.
I ask everyone to read this, but especially my leftist friends who spoke up for Palestinians in the war on Gaza but remained silent about October 7 for fear of being seen as supporting Israel. Innocent victims are innocent victims wherever and whoever they are. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...
Kleber Mendonça Filho with Udo Kier at a screening of Filho's terrifically funny, ineffably saddening new film about Brazil's brutal 1970s, "The Secret Agent." From which we have much to learn about the ineptitude and chaotically destructive power of dictatorship.
This man is the Dean of the Harvard School of Public Health

RIP Robert Redford, who made rich and handsome matter.
"Oh sure, I'll sign that, looks right on to me."
The sheer folly of this pledge, when the overwhelming majority of Israeli filmmakers and film institutions are leftwing or liberal and do not support the heinous Israeli government’s war on Gaza.

I wonder if those people attacking and harassing Israeli tourists abroad would like to be attacked and held personally responsible for Trump while they're on vacation:

Imagine the night terrors of the admissions officer who decided that J.D. Vance — who cribbed from Mein Kampf to announce "the professors are the enemy" — would make a fine DEI Yalie. Recalls the Roald Dahl story about the birth of a baby to a young Austrian. "You have a fine baby boy, Mrs. Hitler."
This little fellow has been standing there all afternoon. I wonder if his E-Mom has tried sticking her head out of the window and hollering him home for dinner. It’s worked for centuries.
On the plus side, Colbert is a vocal, practising Catholic. So the pseudo-President just lost a chunk of constituency.
Art says it all:
In Major Cringe today, Bibi handed DT a certificate confirming he'd nominated him for a Nobel peace prize. I've heard tell that AI can rustle up a nice certificate in moments.
At least 27 dead and 20 girl campers missing in Texas floods.
He who defenestrated the National Weather Service warning system is off golfing.
Competition for the meanest-looking mouths?
Massive, boisterous, peaceful crowd in Santa Monica today. Hardly noticed the dope who hired a plane with a banner saying HBD to the King. He must have meant Lear.
Worried friends and consumers of national media, this tiny red circle is where the L.A. protests are. For this he sent in the National Guard.
Criterion Closet came to my neighb and I got to hang out. I swagged Army of Shadows, In the Mood for Love, and the one I wrote the essay for , the Russian 8-hour War and Peace, which I saw when it came out in Glasgow in 1970.

This is how it’s done!
FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets.

Musk " was spending time with... prominent figures in the emerging pronatalist movement, and urging his wealthy friends to have as many children as possible. He believed the world needed more intelligent people, according to people aware of the conversations."
