The best piece of news, after a relentless and brutal attempt to destroy a decent person and make an example of her, to scare others to silence. No thanks to the mainstream, which said and did nothing to defend the principle of press freedom and her right to report fact and express an opinion.

A sense of place
Place in fiction is so much more than setting. Think of the mean city streets of detective noir, the high moors or lonely cabin, the claustrophobic sailing ship or space station, dusty country road…

An actor has pulled out of a play because he did not want to star alongside Maureen Lipman and THIS was her response. She hasn't thought this through...at all. Oh no, he's going to be doomed to working with Oscar winners who are nice? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

And if he doesn't grow up, then he's going to limit himself to working with just Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem for the rest of his career

Today you're going to see a lot of tributes and assessments of Gloria Steinem (I thought this one very good: www.thecut.com/article/glor...). You'll also see some people raising her involvement with the CIA, and others ignore it. (That obit doesn't even mentioned it.) What was that about?
