And smoking his cigar in the supermarket! Around that time my mother preferred to shop in Safeway because they allowed smoking...

My Mayflower great grandmother Emma - one of the US's first women librarians #Mattapan, grandmother Mary - eminent pianist -- and mother Elizabeth. We are descended from John Alden and Priscilla Mullins - though I have no evidence that they knew of it. #elegyforecho tells their remarkable stories.

Bill Gustafson was a singer with the Metropolitan Opera. Elegy for Echo, my family memoir, starts with the silence and trauma that followed his 1931 suicide. My mother was Echo; this book aims to return her voice to her and will be published in Fall/Autumn. www.vickycosstick.co.uk/elegy-for-ec...

“Famous Last Words,” which doesn’t publish its interviews until the subject has died, is a mix between “Inside the Actors Studio” and a video will. www.newyorker.com/culture/on-t...

The Netflix Show That Airs from the Great Beyond

The promise of “Famous Last Words”—which just released its Gloria Steinem episode—is that the show’s subjects can finally speak freely, knowing that the interview won’t come out until they’ve died.

Hilarious: "Take the scene when the fake American donor journeys to some sort of Clacton beer garden, where he and Farage and co seem to have settled themselves in one of a row of cursed teak gazebos. Nigel chortles about “Guinness with a champagne top”... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The only thing more dodgy than Reform’s financial dealings is the egregious lunchtime combination of oysters, Guinness and champagne, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

The question is why is BBC so pro reform? I blame @thechrismasontv.bsky.social . Which Chris Mason? THE Chris Mason, the one that's on TV 😉

I should add that the uncritical coverage of all this by the press including many in the mainstream media that celebrated Trump's illegal attack on Venezuela as a "success" deserves scrutiny & criticism of its own. As does the complicity of many in Trump's cabinet and the compliance of the Congress.
