The more I report on the #Louvre heist, the more I realize life imitates art imitates life: the museum was robbed in the same way in 1976—same window, same kind of loot. Hollywood’s reboot era has hit the Paris underworld. Soon on Apple TV: Tom Holland in The Thomas Crown Affair.

Had no idea Trump was a spelunker. No one is better at caving.

Maverick -> Star Wars -> Christian Schools -> Trump. I can see it. It's wild, but I can see it.
Paul Anleitner@PaulAnleitner

The Popular Success of Top Gun: Maverick After the killing of George Floyd and the subsequent protests and rioting in 2020, it seemed to many in the intelligentsia that “culturally relevant” films needed to directly address DEI or systemic race issues to find wide appeal. Top Gun: Maverick instead leaned heavily on classic modernist heroism themes, embodied by a white, male protagonist (Tom Cruise as Maverick) who is a traditional, rule-breaking figure dedicated to honor, duty, and meritocracy. Maverick represented more traditional American values of meritocracy over aristocracy amid what was supposed to be a cultural revolution intended to set up a new inverted aristocracy.

@AJDelgado13 @Liz_Cheney There are the states. They can get involved in issues of constitution - read up on that. Also, anything that you have been doing on "X" pretty much is classified as "observing".

Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect.  All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.

“…Perhaps we needed a shock jock like him to lampoon, distort, and mock insistent liberal pieties with rhetoric so outrageous, so obscene, it would wrench the country back to the center.” open.substack.com/pub/tinabrown/…

This is Tina Brown, nailing it: “But more than any of this, Trump’s victory is a big fat raspberry to democratic orthodoxies, woke dogma, and identity politics. He is right to divine that America is sick to death of all of it…

(More than) slightly painful facts coming Gioia this evening. 62% of adults didn’t read a single work of fiction last year. Is this the end of the novel’s influence or did I miss the death rattle? open.substack.com/pub/tedgioia/p…

I’ve somehow managed to get to this late stage in life without ever watching Jaws. I did a film degree at university and still haven’t watched Jaws. I have downloaded it for my flight today. Will feed back.

@elonmusk @vkhosla The quote in the headline of the Guardian piece was from me, and I'd be pleased to debate you (or your little fingernail) at any point about why we don't in fact have a century to spare in solving this crisis.
