October 27, 1961: Twilight Zone's "The Grave" airs. A gunslinger is challenged to plant a knife in the grave of a dead rival to prove he's not scared. Perfect for Halloween! And what a cast: Lee Marvin, James Best, Lee Van Cleef, Strother Martin, Stafford Repp and Elen Willard.

Serbia took a stand against Christian nationalism. Brazil took a stand against Christian nationalism. Hungary took a stand against Christian nationalism. America, it's our turn.

They will say “vote biblically!” but when you vote for welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, and loving all our neighbors, they will call you a Marxist.

These are the fine twin cities neighbors who our asshole-in-chief calls garbage people. This is some spider-man level heroism.

October 23, 1959: Twilight Zone's "The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine" airs. A movie queen who pines for the old days finds a unique and supernatural way to rejoin her former co-stars. Stars Ida Lupino, who later directed "The Masks" — the only star to helm a TZ *and* the only woman.

October 22, 1972: Night Gallery's "Rare Objects" stars Mickey Rooney as a gangster targeted for a hit — until a mysterious benefactor (Raymond Massey) offers a unique solution. You can read Serling's short-story version in his "Night Gallery 2" paperback: amzn.to/37vvHM0

October 20, 1961: Twilight Zone's "The Mirror" airs. Peter Falk plays a despot who keeps seeing the faces of his assassins in a strange mirror. It's often deemed a misfire. But while it's no classic, I think it teaches a valuable lesson about the destructive nature of power.

Absolutely incredible. Worth the entire watch.

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone." Rod Serling: "The Monsters are Due on Maple St."

Great day for all the folks to in PNW to evaluate their readiness for a significant earthquake. Bridges and tunnels may be closed. Utilities (elec, water, gas, cell service) may take months to restore. Do you have supplies? A plan? Where’s your toilet? Food? A radio?

Imagine claiming to follow Jesus who was publicly executed and then glorifying public executions by wanting to live stream them.

For The New York Times, I wrote about how Rod Serling create The Twilight Zone in part because it was the only way in the 1950 and 60s for him to comment on the subjects he cared about most, and how that's a good blueprint for contemporary media to deal with our surreal current moment:

If you are overwhelmed by all the cruelty and tempted into hopelessness, you are a good person and on the right side of history. Those in power want nothing more than to steal your hope and drive you into apathy. Keeping your empathy and hope alive is an act of resistance.
