There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. |

| rantnrave:// Late Sunday interest mix for your curious mind... It's at troubled times like this I link, yet again, to this CHARLIE CHAPLIN remix from THE GREAT DICTATOR... Someone at ESPN is quite the legal eager beaver sending a "cease and desist" to BARSTOOL SPORTS claiming their podcast "Pardon My Take" infringes on ESPN shows “First Take” and “Pardon The Interruption.” I thought, wow. OMG. But then I thought I should do the same for all media and tech properties with the prefix "RE" in it. I am excluding KARA SWISHER, WALT MOSSBERG and JIM BANKOFF for RE/CODE because I dig them and their properties. But every other RE-motherf***er is on notice! Cease and desist my "RE". ESPN, I love your stuff and many of your employees so hear me when I say with love: overreach here. Guess what? Big guy against little guy is a hard sell these days... Protest is exactly one of the things that makes and made our country great... 6 mile walk this am 7 months after heart surgery. Proud. That said, thought about the election the whole time and almost gave myself a heart attack... I had a dream that PRESIDENT TRUMP pushed THE PURGE into law... Happy Birthday to LARRY DIVNEY, SCOTT STACKMAN, DAVE WEHNER, LAUREL TOUBY, JEFF BERCOVICI and IAN SIGALOW. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| God, people around here like to say, is Brazilian - a cheery way of celebrating this country's natural beauty, bountiful resources, lovely people. God, however, appears to be in an Old Testament phase. Each day in Brazil of late is more dramatic than the one before, and the news is uniformly grim. | | |

| "I'm a one-man doll show." That's not normally a declarative you hear from an adult man that makes you want to ask more questions. But then again, you don't normally happen upon an Instagram feed like cyguy83's, where the bio reads "Doll Maker, artist, Motherf*cking sorcerer" and the account features Barbies that have been transformed into frighteningly accurate tiny celebrity replicas. | | |

| I have spent all of my adult life working in or running a biology research lab. It has been a very fulfilling, full-time pursuit. So when colleagues discover that I wrote a book that's set in Paris and delves into such topics as the French Resistance, the Cold War and the author Albert Camus, they're somewhat baffled. | | |

| LOS ANGELES - In a presidential election year, the only real "October surprise" from Hollywood would be a complete absence of films with political tinges. But don't worry. It won't happen. Already, release schedules for the months preceding Nov. 8, Election Day, are peppered with movies that have partisan potential, whether overt or covert. | | |
