  1. Book Review: Opus by Gareth Gore

    Book Review: Opus by Gareth Gore

    I don’t know if “Opus” is a clarion call, but at the very least, the work puts people who still are willing to see religion as a putative force for good on notice. Very little stands between the theocrats and the kind of social and economic hegemony that could forever change what it means to be a law-abiding citizen. This is a public episode.

    Headshots for Obits

    I see a lot of obituaries. Take it from me, it’s worth getting a good headshot. No video this week. If you listen you’ll here me go on and on about overcoming vanity, but the sweater I grabbed to record this was distractingly stained, and stained is a bridge too far for me. Here’s a reminder and appeal that if you’re more a listener than a reader, you can buy my audiobook on Spotify. It’s on Amazon, too, and if you have an Audible subscription you can just make it the next book you get with your credits. tr This is a public episode.

This is about Steve McQueen, or, more appropriately, Georg Stanford Brown, who had a supporting role in the (overrated) movie Bullitt. Here’s a video version, if that’s your bag. I also put them on YouTube . This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit tonyrusso.substack.com/subscribe
