Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Also worth remembering that if you don’t have the means to donate, just spreading the word is helpful. Share resources so that others can find them!

As always, the fact that José Andrés & World Central Kitchen doesn’t have a Nobel Peace Prize is bamboozling. Donate to them if you can! The work they do, and have always done, is truly phenomenal.

In other news here are some books I’ve read lately and really liked

If violence isn’t the answer then defund the police you absolute cowards
