Notes from strangers continue to pour in. A neighbor told Raskin that when her son was in middle school and depressed, Tommy was the only kid who tried to spend any time with him, and that he always tried to make him smile. “He wanted everybody not just to have enough food he wanted everybody to be happy and laughing, including himself.” A memorial fund has already raised a quarter of a million dollars. “He really did feel every little bit of pain and suffering around him in the world and he wanted to act on it, but he was also an enormously fun-loving and comical person,” Raskin told me. Due to the pandemic, he was temporarily living in the basement apartment at his parents’ house. At the time of his death, Tommy was attending Harvard Law School, as his father had in the 1980s. It was more than a standard obituary it was an intimate, soulful look at Tommy’s kaleidoscopic life: soccer player, poet, playwright, pianist, anti-war activist, animal lover, brother, cousin, son, and, in recent years, person with depression. Two days before the attack at the Capitol, Raskin released a 1,700-word tribute to his son. And people tell us it’s normal, it’s natural-but ultimately it’s unresolvable and inscrutable and futile.” “When you lose a child under these circumstances, you’re plagued with thousands of questions about things you may have done differently, missed clues, alternative ways you may have dealt with this or that situation,” he said. Occasionally I could hear the voices of his family members in the background. Raskin spoke fondly of Tommy for long, uninterrupted stretches of time. “But every day we’re able to disentangle them more, so that we can experience the love more purely and the pain more purely, and it doesn’t hurt to love him.” “My wife captured it perfectly: She said that there is so much pain and so much love, and it’s all mixed together,” he said. I asked if speaking about the loss makes it easier. Over the previous seven nights, Raskin and his wife, Sarah, had stayed up late talking about their son. There was unmistakable exhaustion in his voice, but he was both lucid and candid. Thursday morning and was running on fumes-members of Congress “were living off of Skittles and Cheez-Its.” We spoke first in the early evening and then again late last night. ![]() “There has been nothing like this since the Civil War.” “The president is a lethal danger to the American republic and the American people,” Raskin told me. ![]() I reached out to Raskin yesterday because he had been through more in one week than most people experience in a lifetime: He lost his son to suicide, he and his daughter survived a rampage, and, in the hours before we talked, he began working with two colleagues to prepare articles of impeachment against the president of the United States. Read: Scenes from an American insurrection “I asked her to protect them with her life, and she did,” Raskin told me. Tagen stood guard next to the blockaded entrance, clutching a fire iron. A group of rioters repeatedly attempted to enter the room. Raskin’s chief of staff, Julie Tagen, led Tabitha and Hank to an office, where they hid beneath a table while insurrectionists overtook the building. Raskin and the others on the House floor evacuated the building and made their way to a secure location, but spectators had to seek shelter inside the Capitol. Raskin’s mind flashed to Tabitha, 23, who, along with her sister’s husband, Hank, was seated in the second-floor gallery. He and his colleagues were instructed to retrieve their gas masks. Raskin heard what sounded like a battering ram slamming against the door. Minutes later, voices echoed through the Capitol’s marble hallways. On the House floor, Raskin quoted Abraham Lincoln, reminding his fellow lawmakers that they were there to carry out the will of the people, not the orders of one man. ![]() Please look after each other, the animals, and the global poor for me. The day before, Raskin had buried his 25-year-old son, who on New Year’s Eve left his family a note: Please forgive me. His fingers lingered over a torn black cloth affixed to the lapel of his gray suit jacket. He peered around the room, patting his heart in gratitude. * on Wednesday, he received a bipartisan standing ovation. When Raskin, the congressman from Maryland, rose to address the chamber around 1:45 p.m. Rather than stay home, he proposed another idea: What if she came along? “This is an essential constitutional moment,” he had told her. ET on January 13, 2021.Ī s the mob seized the Capitol, Jamie Raskin thought not of himself, but of his younger daughter, Tabitha, who had asked him not to go to work that day.

![]() The subject of Bresson's film is not nearly as sexy a conception as Schrader's gigolo, though the milieu is equally as sleazy. And it goes without saying that Schrader's *American Gigolo*, which he also directed, is a virtual rewrite of *Pickpocket*, right down to the egregiously plagiarized finale. ![]() and, most completely, writer-director Paul Schrader, who, you'll recall, wrote the *Taxi Driver* screenplay, which was another story about a loner on the outside of societal norms. *Pickpocket* sowed its seeds of influence in the minds of any number of film artists - Jean-Pierre Melville most notably (who despised Bresson, apparently), whose *Le Samourai* was a mighty struggle against this film. Probably the most influential of Robert Bresson's trio of masterpieces from the Fifties (the other two being *A Man Escaped* and, of course, *Diary of a Country Priest*). I think I like Pickpocket a little more, but I may like it even more on another viewing. While the hero has only one determination in Man Escaped, to get out, Pickpocket has a man who doesn't know what to do with himself, only coming to a genuine catharsis behind bars. Like A Man Escaped, there is that sort of dissection, quietly and without really digging too deep, into what a man wants with his life, or doesn't want. Was I rooting for him, or just pleased by the pay-off of Bresson's suspense? Maybe both there is definitely one truly virtuoso sequence in the film, when the pickpockets go on the train. At times I almost had a grin as he made some successful grabs, by himself or his cohorts. He is a decent person, but there are certain things that get to him, which is why he feels he must steal. Indeed, the actor who plays the protagonist here is actually very good, aside from the disconnection, and provides an excellent way for us to get along his side. Whatever it sets up for this actor to do, it sets up well. And yet, this is really made up tenfold with the sort of style that can be likely called Bressonian straightforward angles, tense medium close-ups, serene editing, and little to no music. But my only minor nitpick with the film is that it leaves a sort of cold viewing on a viewer, with such simplicity and emotions stripped from the character(s) that it's hard to connect. Bresson's use of the camera is often intoxicating in the most subdued, subtle, in-direct distinctions at times it does take on the prowess of literature. Robert Bresson's Pickpocket has many great moments, even as it didn't quite do it for me on a first viewing as a 'masterpiece'(some have said to see it twice, perhaps I will). Indeed the actors and actress express no sentiments and the plot is very weird. ![]() The beauty of Marika Green is impressive and she seems to love Michel since the very beginning but again her feelings are never clear. ![]() The development of the lead character Michel is confused and it is clear that he is a troubled, lonely and anguished unemployed young man, but it is never clear the motives why he is addicted in stealing since he shows no ambition or dream or love. This is the first time that I have watched"Pickpocket" and I expected much more from this famous movie. Michel decides to help her and find an honest job but in a horse race, he is tempted by his addiction with tragic consequences. Later he travels overseas to get rid of the observation of the police, but two years later he returns to Paris and finds Jeanne alone, with her son with Jacques after a brief love affair. After the death of his mother, Michel teams-up with two smalltime thieves despite the permanent surveillance of the local police inspector (Jean Pélégri). His only friends are Jacques (Pierre Leymarie), who tries to help him to find a job, and his mother's next door neighbor Jeanne (Marika Green). In Paris, the lonely and anguished pickpocket Michel (Martin La Salle) lives in a dirty little room and spends his time stealing wallets and purses in public spaces.

So in 1971 the logotype will be composed with a graceful character while only in 1992, under the artistic direction of Alessandro Michele, the symbol of the double “G” will officially appear in the company’s trademark, until then used only as a griffe on bags, shoes and belts. In 1960, Aldo Gucci, one of Guccio’s three arms, designed the symbol with the two crossed “G’s”, a clear reference to the founder’s initials this graphic sign, which had not yet become the company’s trademark, was re-proposed in different fashions, that is, cast in a circle, opposed, inverted and in abstract form. In 1923 the first brand of the fashion house had only the name of the founder in the calligraphic character, probably derived from his signature. In 1921 Guccio Gucci founded the company of the same name in Florence for the production of leather goods, gloves and luggage.

The loss of Rosetta has just such consequences. Coping with a change does not mean wholeheartedly embracing that change - not when that change has real, unpleasant consequences. In that sense, I’ll have no choice but to get over it.īut in another sense, I won’t be able to get over it, and there is no reason that I should. Among many others.Īccording to my friend, I should just “get over it.” At a basic level, he’s right: if Apple does indeed drop Rosetta in Lion, I’ll have no recourse but either to abandon these applications (and at least some of the data I produced using these applications), or to spend many hundreds of dollars, in addition to whatever Lion costs, to replace these applications with their current Intel-native versions. And if it does, it will be accompanied by a number of applications that I use frequently. Now, two major versions of Mac OS X later, it appears that Rosetta is going away. Most of your existing applications live a long and fruitful life.” ![]() On the Apple Web page that introduced Rosetta, Apple said, “You’ll never see it, you’ll never configure it, you’ll never have to think about it. Because of Rosetta, Mac users could upgrade to the newer Intel-based Macs without having to throw out all of their existing software. It was designed to run, transparently as far as the user was concerned, PowerPC-compatible applications on an Intel processor, a non-trivial feat of magic, given the differences in the processor architectures. Rosetta was introduced by Apple as a way to ease the transition from PowerPC-based Macs to Intel-based Macs. It is a way of saying, “I am above those petty concerns that you, if only you were as wise as I am, would agree are petty.” It is glib advice. Rather, it’s an order, and one aimed - at least subconsciously - at elevating the speaker’s own self-image and dismissing the recipient’s feelings. I get angry because the remark is not meant as advice. Every time I see it, even when I understand, and even when I agree with the necessity of moving on, I get angry. I’ve seen it in all sorts of contexts, about all sorts of transitions. Get over it.”) and on entertainment sites (“The show was cancelled. I’ve seen it on sports pages (“Your favorite player got traded. I’ve seen it, too, in political posts and articles (“Your candidate lost.

My friend snorted derisively and said, “Get over it.” His glib remark rankled me then, and it still rankles. I mentioned the rumor that Lion would not include Rosetta and said that it bothered me. As we conversed, talk turned to Apple’s forthcoming Mac OS X Lion release. Coincidentally, standing in line behind me was an old friend and colleague I hadn’t seen for some time. ![]() On March 11th I found myself standing in line outside of the local Apple Store, waiting for an opportunity to buy an iPad 2 so I could get to work on a book I was contracted to write about the new iPad. ![]() 1677: iOS 17.0.2 for iPhone 15, OS security updates, new AirPods features, restore Slack sidebar, Orion HDMI display app, Apple carbon neutrality reactions.1678: macOS 14 Sonoma available, two portable laptop stands, iPhone Always-On display poll results, which Web browsers do you use?.#1679: iOS 17’s Check In, iOS 17.03 addresses overheating, Mac browser popularity, Arc adds AI features, do you use Finder tags?.1680: iPhone recommendations for seniors, unsticking iCloud Drive sync, iOS bug turns off devices at night, iOS 16 security fixes.#1681: Take Control Books 20th anniversary, USB-C Apple Pencil, Kini motion detector monitors access, topical social spaces.
