TSA PreCheck costs $80 for five years, hardly a driver of social inequity. Nobel laureate Vernon Smith explains how airline deregulation gave rise to 'different lines' for passengers--and made flying a common mode of travel in reach of regular Americans.

P.J. O'Rourke was a really nice guy on top of being a great reporter, writer, and thinker, Jeff Blehar is *BOX OFFICE POISON*. He's missed every day, especially in this stupidest of times.

Donald Sutherland, RIP. My favorite role of his is Sgt. Oddball in the strange and wonderful Kelly's Heroes: 'I'm drinking wine and eating cheese and catching some rays, you know.' My father, who served in Europe in WW2, approved.

Happy 250th. Watch this incredible, psychedelic film created by Vince Collins for the Bicentennial. This is about the greatest film any government anywhere ever produced. Background: 'This animated film provides a short, impressionistic history of the U.S. through famous American symbols, including the Statue of Liberty; the Woodstock logo; the Liberty Bell; and Mt. Rushmore. The symbols are layered on top of each other, as can be seen from a bald eagle hatching from a red, white, and blue egg and flying past the American Gothic farmers, the U.S. Capitol building, the Golden Gate Bridge, Abraham Lincoln’s cabin, and an American bison. The film was directed by Vince Collins. This item was produced or created in 1975. The creator compiled or maintained the parent series, Moving Images Relating to U.S. Domestic and International Activities, between 1982–1999.'

RIP Robert Duvall, who played everything from Boo Radley to Tom Hagen to Lonesome Dove's Gus McRae and everything in between. I remember bonding with my own father while watching his unforgettable turn as the monstrous dad in The Great Santini, one of his best films.

A brilliant deconstruction of jingoism & othering, All Quiet on the Western Front was one of the first 'real' novels I read that left me weeping uncontrollably. Same with the 1930 movie. Erich Maria Remarque deeply informed my anti-statism before I had entered high school.

This is the single-best documentary I've seen that explains why nuclear power got shut down in America; why that was a understandable mistake based on fear, anxiety, and ideology; and how we can scale up nuclear safely. Via Zach Weissmueller reason

'We need more Republicans who are in power now to say, you know what, the government should not be buying shares of companies.' Jared Polis is right. The Trump admin has muscled into at least 20 companies in a way unimaginable under Dems. Socialism is bad for America.

'I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!' Before the Robert Duvall RIP talk fades, let me share a snippet of him as Lucky Ned Pepper in True Grit. Just awesome, and less than a decade removed from playing Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird.

'Sweet dreams, moon pie.' Maybe it's just me, but we need to have a better national conversation about John Houseman being in Rollerball (1975), the absolutely dumbest movie ever made, Kansas City Bomber Meets 2001: A Space Odyssey. Pop culture is *so* much better now!
