Please Tell Me I’m Not Becoming a Grouchy Old Man

Okay, so maybe I am grouchier — but I have reason. I was driving my car yesterday, heading home after doing some errands, when someone ran a red light and just about hit me. I swerved to avoid him, then stopped my car, got out, and stood in the middle of the road screaming at […]

Happy May 1st!

May 1st is a date that carries layered meanings across cultures, histories, and political traditions. Known widely as International Workers’ Day, it is both a celebration of labor and a reminder of the struggles that shaped modern working conditions. At the same time, it retains older, more pastoral associations with springtime renewal, showing how a […]

There Will Be No Negotiations, No Resumption of War for Now

Trump canceled the trip of his representatives to Pakistan for talks with the Iranian delegation. Trump’s “universal soldiers”—son-in-law Jared Kushner and friend Steve Witkoff—did not fly to Islamabad. There will be no talks. However, according to Trump, this does not mean an immediate resumption of hostilities. Trump attributes the breakdown of the talks to “internal […]

They’ll March on Foot

The Victory Day They’ll March on Foot on Red Square on May 9, 2026, will be held without heavy equipment. This “shortened” format was chosen to “minimize the danger amid the terrorist threat from the Kyiv regime,” said Dmitry Peskov, Russian presidential press secretary. What specific terrorist threat could have impacted the Moscow parade? Possibly […]

Why Bullies Always Fail — as Trump Is Failing

Trump’s might-makes-right lawlessness will be his downfall. If we’re not careful, it will be America’s as well. Trump’s domestic and foreign policies — ranging from his attempted coup against the United States in January 2021, to his ICE and Border Patrol excesses (including murders in Minnesota), to his incursion into Venezuela and abduction of its […]

The organizers of the No Kings protest write on their website about an “illegal, catastrophic war” that threatens Americans. “This is America, and power belongs to the people, not to king-puppets or their billionaire buddies,” the statement reads.

Memories of Vietnam: Lies, Arrogance, and Stupidity

American officials are scrambling to mount a search and rescue operation. Anyone recall that this was how the […]

Perennial Relevance of Dostoevsky

What makes Dostoevsky forever relevant is his dialectical approach to the most pressing issues of human predicament. Only in the eyes of the extremely naïve thinkers — doesn’t matter if they come from the right, left or center the issues that face modern day materialistic capitalist societies can be quantified, computerized, and resolved.

Ralph Fiennes the Master of the “Silent Explosion” Phenomenon

Ralph Fiennes always follows his own rules. Looking at his performance — whether in the Lord’s robes or in a haute couture suit, the viewer inevitably catches a cognitive dissonance. We expect a monster, but we get an abyss of charisma, the “gold standard” of cinematic noir, which is impossible (and, honestly, one does not […]

“Demons”: Film Adaptation or Interpretation?

Film adaptations and interpretations not only have different goals, but also appeal to different audiences. A film adaptation is offered, in a sense, “in place” of the book, a simplified version for those who may never read it; the director here plays an educational role, addressing the ignorant as one who knows, the superior as […]
