The actor, restaurateur and author of “A Bronx Tale” on building his castle in Westchester County.

Culturally I am a puritan taught by minimalists and iconoclasts.  Angels seem a silly idea depending from other silly ideas.

Habitable ruins are a place to start.

Checking Your Browser Version

Most web browsers now update themselves, but if you’re not sure what version number you’re actually running, take a peek under the hood.

I am running unsupported operating systems under FireFox.
The instructions are plain.
FireFox does not update further on these systems.

Trump Proclaims Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and Late Night Thinks It’s a Joke

“I mean, he might as well declare it National Bankrupt Casino Awareness Month,” Jimmy Kimmel said.

It is either a joke or another "red herring".
Cats eventually get tired of chasing laser pointer spots.

The Journalists will get tired of chasing Trump Tweets and announcements. 
Keeping a list of offenses and impeachable acts in the papers is enough. 
My ability to be shocked by Trumpism  is exhausted.

Tape Heads and Bodies

In “What will we be like when we get there,” Joanna Kotze and Netta Yerushalmy share the stage with a composer, who creates the score live, and an artist, who uses tape to paint the floor.

Performance is necessary to judge this jazz like work.

From Thai Jail, Sex Coaches Say They Want to Trade U.S.-Russia Secrets for Safety

A Belarusian escort and her “seduction coach” fear deportation from Thailand, saying they know too much about Russian meddling in the 2016 American election.

Robert S. Mueller III must interview this pair of sleazes.
They are depending on that need.

Trump Begins Third Day of Twitter Attacks on ‘Weak’ Border Laws

The president also called on Congress to act, following a new push for legislation to enforce immigration laws for those living illegally in the United States.

"The active-duty military is generally barred by law from carrying out domestic law enforcement functions, such as apprehending people at the border."

Ryan Zinke seems to be under threat.
