Fleishman is in Trouble

The lead character reminds me of my cousin, the way he talks. My cousin has a twin and they're similar in ways, but to me they are very different. I've always been able to tell them apart and some people can't.

Fleishman is in Trouble has Lizzy Caplan who was Nick Miller's girlfriend (as a role) in New Girl. I like her as an actress and the two roles she's played that I know. I thought she was Zooey Deschanel's twin, and I thought she had a twin, but she has a sister who acts on Bones.

I've never cried as much as I do in this show. After I watched the first one, I had the guts to watch Marriage Story (2019) which I'd avoided watching. I guess I need more catharsis because it really hurts to watch these shows.

I love it that he's non-materialistic, even if it's a sort of a pose. I love it that Josh Radnor plays the ball and chain husband after being the star of How I Met Your Mother.

At the heart is the friendship of the 3 people over a life span.

My situation is different but somehow similar enough for catharsis.

I've watched 6 and there will be 8.

Oh my goodness, episode 7!!!!!!! I had to pause it because it was so upsetting--like every episode, I can't get through a whole episode without breaks to prepare myself emotionally.

I listened to a podcast of Lizzy Caplan that was fun, on Fresh Air.

Manet and Degas

Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special. In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them.

The case for Harris

Motley Kamuka Blog endorses Kamala Harris. In general, Trump just wants to lower taxes on the rich, and do nothing, sell whatever influence he can to line his pockets. Apparently the emoluments clause in the constitution has no teeth. Harris has a set of ideas about policy that are fairly middle of the road. In most countries she's would be seen as a centrist. Spin about her radical agendas are exaggerated. I'm not sure how he got past " grab them by the pussy ", but he did and here we are. Women: Obviously the idea of giving women pregnancy tests at the borders of the state, and then if they come back and don't have a baby, they go to jail, isn't really what most women want. Pick Harris. I understand if you think abortion is murder, maybe you've been told that by the Catholic church, which has the same ideal of Buddhism that you don't kill--so follow your religion for yourself. Not everyone is Christian or Buddhist or even has a religion. Women are ...

AOC

Dark Brandon meet Dark Alex. I see her advising the republicans to stick to their guns and never compromise. They don’t want to do anything, only obstruct. So they don’t actually need to be unified. Chaos isn’t organized. This is fine. Read all about it from Heather Cox Richardson , a historian who covers current events. "As their policies threatened to lose voters by concentrating wealth upward and hollowing out the middle class, Republicans increasingly warned that minority voters wanted socialism and were destroying the nation to get it. Trump rode that narrative to power, and now tearing down the current government is the idea that drives the Republican base." While we're at it, here's another funny photo from the Onion: And then: I listened to the Times podcast about George Santos . He basically lied about, I don't know, 80% of his resume, and has a mysterious $700k in his "corporation" which has no clients. So he's a Russian or Chinese plant, o...
