I enjoyed watching the miniseries "Sunny" (AppleTV+, 2024), starring Rashida Jones. Unfortunately, following the same logic as on network television, where every good and quirky thing must meet an untimely death, the show won't see a second season. But it still holds up well on its own. 📺

My three-year-old grandchild was getting a little distracted and started talking with her father while I was reading to her via video chat. Then she noticed I wasn't reading and asked her father—with a straight face—to quit talking so we could continue with the book. 😀

📽️ I watched a film about Nicholas Winton, who helped rescue 669 children from Prague before the Wehrmacht occupied the city. I’m usually not attracted to this subject on screen, but I found “One Life,” dir. James Hawes (Bleeker Street, 2024), both absorbing and affecting. Much of its poignance comes from its shifts between an old man in the late 1980s and his memories of the late 1930s. Anthony Hopkins, who must have been 85 or 86 when he played the lead, is brilliant.

"Toward a Mixed Parliamentary–Presidental System in the U.S.?" Freshly blogged at markstoneman.com/2025/05/07/to. The extreme degree of power that the Trump administration is trying to assert need not end in the direction they seek or in the pre-MAGA status quo either.
