Van Gogh painted this while living in an asylum. Prisoners' Round, 1890. Look at the man in the foreground. His face has often been compared to Van Gogh's. Confinement, isolation, the feeling of being trapped... Was he seeing himself in these men?

On this night in 1938, Orson Welles told America that Martians had landed in New Jersey. The next morning, the papers called it a fake that scared the nation. Legend says people in Grover's Mill even shot at their water tower. Would you have believed it?

โ€œIโ€™m boycotting this Democrat running for the House or Senate.โ€ Then youโ€™re an idiot. Iโ€™m sorry, but youโ€™re an idiot. The primaries are over, folks. Weโ€™re in the general. You got two choices: imperfect and annoying Democrat or fascist Republican led by a pedophile. You got a healthy democracy craving on a fascism budget, babe. I donโ€™t care that youโ€™re annoyed. I donโ€™t care that youโ€™re angry. You got two choices. There is no third option. If youโ€™re not voting for the Democrat on the ballot, youโ€™re enabling the fascist pedophiles. Itโ€™s that simple.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admirationย for him and his work. My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

This is disinhibition in a nutshell. He had several of these outbursts today. Eventually he will hit somebody on camera. Mark my words. Disinhibition is the most common symptom of behavioral frontotemporal dementia.

The extremist Jewish violence in the West Bank is out of control, and the Israeli government refuses to act to stop it. It's unacceptable. If Israelis care at all about reversing the collapse of Israel's standing in the United States, they need to elect a new government that will end it. In the meantime, the silence of the Trump administration is aiding and abetting the violence. Trump has the responsibility to use his considerable leverage on Israeli officials to end it. So far, he has not done so. That's also unacceptable.
