Rogan dropped an interview with Spencer Pratt - LA guy told me to watch, probably knowing it would raise my blood pressure. Pratt is running for mayor, and the episode goes into detail about all the NGO fraud. Here they are talking about how of all the tens of millions in charity raised to help people whose houses burned down in the 2025 fire, basically none of it went to victims. NGOs got the $$ and wasted it. So it’s no shocker that so few homes in places like Pacific Palisades have been rebuilt. If you’re in LA you should take a look - and if you’re not, but want further insight into how the various NGOs rip off taxpayers for things like homelessness without ever solving the problem, it will interest you too.

Sam Harris is the gift that keeps on giving. Here he is talking about the murder of Charlie Kirk - and he says there is no party on the left that supports this. Then he blames Trump and Elon for dousing the ground with gasoline to create circumstances where this could happen:

Bret Weinstein explains succinctly today on Rogan how our voting system is designed to be gamed. His point about exit polling is a particularly good one. If in person voting isn’t the exclusive method, exit polling cannot be used to detect fraud - and that’s not an accident.

Nabokov ‘detested’ Freud because he viewed him as ‘crude’ and ‘medieval.’

Donald Trump is the first POTUS since Eisenhower to praise Robert E. Lee openly. He is talking about the Lincoln bedroom, and Lincoln’s loss of his son Tad, then he shifts to the Civil War. The idea that Trump is ignorant is so stupid. Kamala would not know who Tad was.

A friend reminded me that Tom Cruise largely made the pickup artist character Frank TJ Mackey himself. Paul Thomas Anderson wanted him for the role, but it wasn’t much developed. Cruise had him over to his house, did his own performance for him - and wrote a lot of the character:

John C. Reilly came across much smarter playing pornstar Chest Rockwell in the film Boogie Nights:

One reason the Sopranos was popular was humor that worked for the left & right. Here Phil Leotardo consoles his cousin about her husband being gay. A leftist laughs AT Phil, thinks he’s a Neanderthal. Many conservatives are laughing WITH him - he’s saying what they can’t say.

One aspect of film history that interests me is the decision-making of actors. They can have a lot of talent, but lack judgment and have bad advisors, and inhibit their careers. Take Burt Reynolds. He was talented and handsome, and he did a lot of good work. But he never won an Oscar, and that bothered him, and he will not be remembered as an all-time great. Why? Well, he turned down offers to be McMurphy in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, which became one of Jack Nicholson’s best roles. He pulled himself out of the running to be James Bond. He didn’t want the role of Hans Solo in Star Wars, which did a lot for Harrison Ford. Now consider this role he took as a porn director/producer in Boogie Nights. He was fantastic - totally believable and hilarious. But he was upset about the movie after it came out, and embarrassed about being seen as a sleazy pornographer. Yet it’s one of the best things he ever did. He didn’t like some of his best work. It’s just an interesting conundrum - that a man can have skills as an actor but lack judgment and intelligence. This is probably very common among a group of people who get paid to perform lines someone else wrote. Pretending to be other people is on a lower level than writing and conceiving a story.

So Robert Duvall died. Terrible news - he was an outstanding actor, great range - made every film/show he did better. I always liked this scene from Apocalypse Now where he forces his soldiers to go surfing in the middle of a combat zone because the waves were just too good.

I’ve listened to Scott Adams for 10 years. When he announced his cancer diagnosis and imminent death in May, I was impressed with his stoicism, which he kept up to the end. This will be my last post on this, b/c it starts to feel exploitative. But his words here are gold:

Zulu Dawn (1979) is one of the most unintentionally RW movies ever produced. It was supposed to show the dark side of British imperialism - but they made it look so fun. And the British defeat comes off like a Shakespearean tragedy to respect, not something to be ashamed of.

I usually avoid all this stuff but I am making an exception because I cannot believe how stupid and out of touch Piers Morgan and Dr. Phil are. Phil is congratulating Piers on getting Fuentes to ‘acknowledge the Holocaust.’ That isn’t what happened. Nick trolled Piers successfully, at one point saying it might have been ‘100 times more’ than 6 million. He was making fun of Piers, who didn’t even realize it. These older media people are going to need to hire some younger people to give them a crash course in online discourse if they are going to wade into these waters - because both of these old guys made asses of themselves here.

Beethoven did something unique in this piano sonata. He created a theme for his sonata movement - and then used it for a fugue, which replaced the development section of the standard classical era form. It sounds a lot like Bach, it’s brilliant and beautiful - I want you to hear.

People on the right (and in the center) need to understand that the left really views enforcement of immigration law as Nazism, and they plan to retaliate. Kara Swisher here compares Stephen Miller to Heinrich Himmler - and by implication Trump to Hitler. She’s not kidding.
