The man who killed 20 people and wounded 26 more in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday was explicit in what motivated him: the idea of an "invasion" of non-white people who will have babies and dilute the power of White America. This is a product of the kind of racist delusion and tribalist anxiety that has always run beneath the surface in America, but there is no doubt why it is spreading so widely and virulently at the moment.

We all need some thoughts and prayers these days. On Monday, after a weekend of slaughter around the country, El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago proved once again that he is incapable of rising to any occasion more serious than a ball he can kick out of the rough and onto the fairway.

But in an interview for Fox News on Sunday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy sounded a particularly ludicrous note, suggesting that part of the blame for the weekend's two mass murders could be laid at the feet of video games. And Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a blistering rebuke.

Critics have argued that Bruce Lee, the movie's only character of color, is depicted as an arrogant windbag, and implausibly equaled in a fight by Brad Pitt's anonymous, aging stuntman. And in an interview, Michael Moh, who portrayed the iconic actor and martial artist, shared his thoughts on the depiction of his real-life idol.

Record players are back, retro cars are back, and hell, even vintage fashion is back. Polaroid, one of the most retro-y brands out there, decided to jump in on the action, and it absolutely killed it. Polaroid Originals recently released a line of throwback cameras with contemporary conveniences to bridge the eras, making some film photographers' dreams come true.
