I did not know that “Turn the Volume Up” was a KRS-One rap song from back in the day. The rest of the line says “…the devil’s time is up.” A deeper shade of shade! I love it. My mayor!

Trump says the US is collecting "hundreds of trillions of dollars" in tariff revenue. The size of the entire world's economy is around $110 trillion.

Peter Hujar's Day opens in NYC today and I hope some of you will treat yourselves to this beautiful, thoughtful escape into a vanished world. It's a small-scale, large-brained movie that blooms beautifully on a big screen. One of my favorites this year.

If you are in San Francisco this weekend, please go see "The Eyes of Ghana" on Saturday, Nov. 8 @ 11am at the Vogue Theater! Tickets and more information here: sffilm.org/event/the-ey...

George Santos lived in Huntington, Long Island before becoming a member of Congress. He lived in the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey after that.

For non-Jews/non-NYers: It's crucial to understand that Jews in NYC have always been treated as a uniform political bloc, and Jews who oppose Israel's policy toward Palestinians have always been treated as marginal/dismissable. A public breaking-off of 1/3 of NY Jews from that history is monumental.

ACE IN THE HOLE (1951) #Noirvember #filmsky This film's utter and unrelenting cynicism so repulsed movie audiences that it lost Paramount a fortune. Billy Wilder later admitted that it had a negative impact on his career, while also citing it as one of the best films he ever made.
