Robert Frank left still photography for ‘another mistress.’ Here she is.

Gambling with his heart, Robert Frank produced indelible images

I just watched this fine documentary:

Excellent New York Times article on John Roberts and the extremist immunity decision

This is the most interesting part of the NYTimes article on John Roberts today, in my opinion. That’s the first time I’ve seen clear reporting show that the Court works backwards to find a rationale for their desired outcome. It’s obviously true, but never admitted openly pic.twitter.com/4AAXTHPwdf

Republicans continue to spread false claims on Haitians and Springfield

These liars should not be on TV to spread their garbage

JD Vance said Sunday that he stood by the debunked claims he and Donald Trump have spread suggesting Haitian migrants were eating pets, saying that he was willing "to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention." https://t.co/CB7cAljIeL

Immigrants weren't "sent" to Springfield, they chose to go there bc the town had open manufacturing jobs in warehouses. Most of these immigrants are legal so I'm no sure what you're whining about. We're literally a nation of immigrants but when they come you complain. https://t.co/ybYMqdjW6j

Two of our elementary schools were just evacuated due to threats.

Both of our colleges have gone virtual this week due to threats.

The city just canceled our annual CultureFest because of threats.

None of this was happening before Trump and Vance opened their mouths. pic.twitter.com/lKJ42MGnXk

Trump’s campaign is ok that “they’ve been widely condemned for spreading the urban legend of Haitian migrants eating cats and dogs in Springfield…If the national media is talking about immigration, they reason, they’re winning.”@MarcACaputo reportshttps://t.co/T5bXg2rHI6

Trump/Vance lies could lead to violence in Springfield

Vance admitted the story was false

The Proud Boys have been to Springfield

Governor DeWine condemned the lies but in general the Republican Party has been quiet

Schools got threats

I blame the evil lying bigot Trump for all of it.

Springfield OH bombing threats and Klan march should be paired with Charlottesville VA Nazi march as a moment for taking sides.

Trump chose "fine people on both sides" first time, and Trump and Vance are choosing "with all these immigrants, what do you expect?" this time.

And…

Last night windows were smashed and acid thrown on Haitian owned cars. Now these Neo-Nazis are on the streets of Springfield. Trump and company are sponsoring America's own "Kristallnacht." It's disturbing and-frightening. https://t.co/RghRPWVnsG

More tweets on poor New York Times coverage of Trump

Is the New York Times unaware that the Trump Administration repealed the overtime rule passed by the Obama Administration or did they just refuse to include it as a major flip flop? pic.twitter.com/ImruXD5cfd

"Filtered through the lens of Trump" is a great observation. The Times treats him as the main character of American politics. It's a deliberate choice, and a lot of what's baffling or infuriating about their political coverage is downstream from it. https://t.co/HTKAAPMdFv

OMFG, the word Cheney doesn't appear on the home or front page of the Times today. A grand coalition in American democracy is forming. The #BrokenTimes is ignoring this momentous story–as well as good news for Harris. This is not news judgment. My view:https://t.co/sug1O7btvx

Still no sign at the NYT that a candidate for President admitted that his core election plank would be "bloody."

Seems like it should merit blaring headlines? pic.twitter.com/6W5IQOSMFa

Godzilla Minus One is excellent

The Japanese film Godzilla Minus One is on Netflix and discs. It is far superior to the recent American Godzilla films. It’s got lots of action just like them. It also has a much stronger storyline about the Japanese people coping with the tough times after World War II. That topic is also covered well in Seijun Suzuki’s Gate of Flesh (1964).

The Japanese film Shin Godzilla (2016) is also superior to the American films.

GODZILLA MINUS ONE is a revelation in black and white. Rather than simply throw a monochrome filter over the existing film, Takashi Yamazaki and his crew painstakingly remastered every shot. The results are terrifying in a completely unique way.

Absolutely see it if you haven’t. pic.twitter.com/Gt9GjE3b6k

Trump supporters use antisemitism

I can’t imagine why any Jew would vote for Trump.

Terrible lie, spread by Trump, about Haitians

This is racist nonsense. Pets are not being stolen and eaten in Ohio.
