| | rantnrave:// Happy FATHER's DAY to all the poppas, daddies or whatever they go by. May they get the big piece of chicken today (NSFW)... Both my parents are gone. So days like this are a little uncomfortable. I don't have my own family and it feels like wandering in no man's land. I was estranged from my father for the last 5 of his life and before that, a very strained relationship since I was 12 years old. I suppose one would call it some "Cats in the Cradle" type s***. Thinking about it today, I didn't really know who he was or much about him. There are memories and good and bad stories. He did teach me to count my winnings at JAI ALAI. I was 7. And the importance of PETER LUGER STEAK HOUSE OLD FASHIONED SAUCE. Oh, and he did get my four red light tickets during freshman year reduced to one. "Your honor, my son is a moron." That was about it. But when I come across a photo now and again, he's like a stranger. So those questions and all that wondering go unanswered. Think more about it in the last 2 years than I have in the 10 before that. I suppose people with similar situations try to fill those holes and the sense of not belonging by starting their own families. If you haven't already, get to know yours. You can't go back... JEFF CATELAZ shared a very personal story about how he feels on Father's Day. Choked me up and appreciate him sharing... JAY Z had something else in mind for today... I like sending friends things I love. My favorite media/tech gifts: TEXTURE. AMAZON FIRE TV STICK. APPLE AIRPODS. ZERO DAYS. MONOCLE... MASHABLE has become a must follow on TWITTER for these short, yet awesome, videos... Movies mark many moments and periods of my life. JOHN AVILSEN directed many of them. R.I.P. We lost FLOUNDER too... I'm intolerant of the intolerant... Given I have to spread out my favorite dark, dystopian dramas lately due to the fact that they pale in comparison to real world dystopias -- I'm now watching the escapist RIVIERA courtesy of my friend PAUL MCGUINNESS. Now on SKY ATLANTIC. Coming to the U.S. soon... Happy Birthday to SCOTT VENER, JAY GALLUZZO, DAN YORK and BRIAN TERKELSEN. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| When you think about politics these days, it’s hard to avoid focusing on Donald Trump’s remarkable rise to power and his even more remarkable presidency. It’s even harder to avoid thinking about the scandals swirling around him day to day. It’s not that I don’t think these are important. But they are not the subject of today’s talk. In this talk, I want to look at the big picture. In this picture, Trump is merely a symptom. He is a symptom of a serious problem with our political and... | | |

| Three years ago, Sledgehammer Games and Activision were deciding what to do about 2017's "Call of Duty" game. They had veered off into science fiction for the billion-dollar-a-year first-person shooter franchise. But after hashing it over, they all agreed to take their "boots on the ground" video game back to its roots in World War II. | | |
