King Lear: Apocalypse Now
This week, it’s 460 years since the birth of Shakespeare, and since we are living in what can only be termed apocalyptic times, it might be fitting to take a look at the most apocalyptic of Shakespeare’s plays, King Lear. Let’s call this episode of my continuing series,“Shakespeare Without Tears,” King Lear: Apocalypse Now.

Photographic Justice: The Corky Lee Story
Asian-American photographer Corky Lee used to carry a business card with him which read, “Corky Lee the undisputed, unofficial Asian-American photographer laureate.” And undisputed, was right: his fifty plus years of documenting Asian-American life in photographs, and his knack for being in the right place at the right time, made him a cultural hero to millions of Asian Americans, particularly in New York City.
A recent film documentary about Corky Lee, called Photographic Justice: The Corky Lee Story is now in release, and I was happy to have as our guest on Arts Express radio, the director of Photographic Justice, Jennifer Takaki.

Ricky Gervais Hilarious Golden Globe Monologue 2020
It was his last time doing it, so he just let it all hang out. It was the year Felicity Huffman was charged with bribing college officials to get her child into college, and Jeffrey Epstein became a household name. Not Suitable For Work.

This was a lifer for me. It’s identifiable as a Common Gallinule and not a Purple Gallinule because of the white striping on the side.
