  • You know you’ve watched Dune too many times when you start to see parallels between the way prepared by Jessica and Stilgar, and the current jockeying by Pelosi and Schumer. Are we chanting Lisan al-Gaib at the postponed DNC? Schiff of Tabr? To November! The choice was the Dem nominee or the end of democracy, so you’ll forgive me if I’m not flattered.

    The building of the best narrative, the gathering of a large tent, the necessity of correct timing. Then the almighty talk. If not Dune then Kingdom of Heaven or Royal Gemstones. God wills it, Jesse! Things gotta look right for the people.




  • Dr. David Gelmont announced that Henson had died from Streptococcus pneumoniae, an infection that causes bacterial pneumonia. However, on May 29, Gelmont reclassified it as organ dysfunction resulting from streptococcal toxic shock syndrome caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. Gelmont noted Henson might have been saved had he gone to the hospital just a few hours sooner. Medical expert Lawrence D. Altman also stated that Henson’s death “may have shocked many Americans who believed that bacterial infections no longer could kill with such swiftness.” A lack of familiarity with this possibility, combined with the then-recent deaths of prominent men (including Rock Hudson, Liberace, Roy Cohn, and others) whose AIDS deaths had first been publicly euphemized as other illnesses due to AIDS’s pervasive stigma, led to a false but widespread rumor that Henson had died of AIDS–a rumor that was swiftly and directly refuted by Dr. Gelmont. Frank Oz believed the stress of negotiating with Disney led to Henson’s death, stating in a 2021 interview: “The Disney deal is probably what killed Jim. It made him sick.” Henson was cremated and in 1992, his ashes were scattered near Taos in New Mexico.
