Mullin is a guy for whom the expression "shooting himself in the dick" feels not just like a figure of speech intended to suggest incompetence, but an actual possibility.
Getting six emails a day for the rest of your life about great new deals on shoelaces and exciting shoelace opportunities from a company you bought shoelaces from once--and then getting on ten new mailing lists because you hit "Unsubscribe."
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.
I find it impossible to think of him even as a version of Lenny.
The beautiful new Criterion edition means I get finally get rid of this bananas DVD.

Thank you so much, Jessica!

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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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...
