Sad coincidental news: Lenny's great production designer Albert Wolsky has passed at 95. He won Oscars for All That Jazz and Bugsy; his mindblowingly eclectic credits range from Sophie's Choice, Grease, and Manhattan to Charlie Wilson's War, Jarhead and Birdman. A brilliant gay pioneer. RIP.

For many reasons, my piece about Bob Fosse's 1974 film LENNY is the most challenging Criterion essay I've ever been asked to write. The Blu-ray is out now and looks just stunning. Here's the essay. www.criterion.com/current/post...

I just had a very hard time believing that Lenny Bruce was… a sweetheart, although I though Kirby did everything an actor could do with it.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 26(source)

I find it impossible to think of him even as a version of Lenny.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 26(source)

No!

The beautiful new Criterion edition means I get finally get rid of this bananas DVD.

Lenny: High-Wire Act

Featuring a quasi-documentary format that was innovative for its time, Bob Fosse’s complex portrait of stand-up comedian Lenny Bruce is a gesture of postmortem outreach from one prickly, jagged-edged ...

I may or may not still have a crumbling Signet paperback copy of Pride and Prejudice in which 10th-grade Mark wrote "Five sisters. Significance of marriage!!" This thread is a joy.

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

I've been away for a bit. Why is everyone on Bluesky talking about everyone talking about Bluesky? Did I miss news, or are we all just reaching our final form?

If the NYT had rephrased these issue questions not as "Should Democrats move to the left or to the center on health care?" but as "Should Democrats become more progressive or more conservative on health care?" the results would be different, and the people who wrote this poll damn well know it.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 21(source)

I loathe polls like this one that ask Democrats if the party should move to the left or to the center. You can move in two directions-left or right. This phrasing is like saying, "Do you think Democrats should move left, or be normal, you know, like most people?" www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/u...

Democrats’ Midterm Strength Masks Fierce Divides and Frustration, Poll Shows

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 21(source)

I believe that the Democrats' public position should be that if you use your presidency to steal money from the IRS and make it possible for you and your descendants never to pay taxes again, that you should not count on a world of "norms," including pardons or courts, to save or protect you.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 20(source)

I hear this answer a lot, so I'll just repeat: No. The structure of this country would make the imposition of national martial law all but impossible, and I think large parts of the military might actually turn against Trump. Be as doomerish as you want, but I don't buy this particular scenario.

Political violence --> Insurrection Act --> Martial Law

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 20(source)

And of course, this. Most American voters are going to find both of these things despicable, but the Trump administration is now open about not giving a damn about American voters. Again: How does this end? We've never seen it before. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

The open criminality of what is happening right now in our government is terrifying. Every day, Trump becomes less and less popular more and more nakedly self-interested, all dissent is purged from the party... how does this end? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

If you've never seen Silkwood, stop everything and sit down. One of Mike Nichols's best films--and it remains maddeningly difficult to obtain, for no good reason.

Hey you really should catch this one if you can because the last I checked it’s not really streaming or on physical media and it’s definitely a great picture worth your time. cc the right smart bloke @markharris.bsky.social

I saw Every Brilliant Thing on Broadway today. Daniel Radcliffe might be the good-vibes-iest performer on a New York stage right now. His joy in what he does is so appealing—and he does it really well.

Just went on another site and saw that older gay men are now being referred to as "mantiques" and I think I'm just gonna sit here and stare at the wall for the next 30 or 45 minutes.
