Saw Akira Kurosawa's masterful film noir take on Hamlet, The Bad Sleep Well (1960). It stars Toshiro Mifune as Don Draper and Chevy Chase as Count Dracula.
Picture of the villain who is not actually played by Chevy Chase despite the uncanny resemblance. His salt and pepper hair is slicked back.

65 yrs ago tonight, CBS broadcast the second nuclear-war-themed episode of “The Twilight Zone” to air in a month. Written by Rod Serling, “The Shelter” dramatically and effectively distilled the profound moral/ethical dilemmas presented by the family fallout shelter during a serious nuclear crisis.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place

This is particularly stupid because going after wage theft and getting employers to pay up also tends to increase the amount of FICA payroll taxes that get collected, part of what goes to fund -- *checks notes* -- Medicare's trust fund.
