Contrary to the growing conventional wisdom that Putin has gone off the rails in terms of his mental state, former State Department Regional Medical Officer/Psychiatrist Kenneth Dekleva holds that he's the same sicko he always was, he's just operating on particularly bad information. We may have some new evidence pointing towards that conclusion. In a video posted to YouTube on April 11, 2021, journalist and former member of the Russian parliament Aleksandr Nevzorov appears to predict the consequences of a Russian invasion of Ukraine with an eerie prescience—at least if a version with English subtitles, reposted this month, is accurate. A rudimentary auto-translation of the original video suggests it is. Nevzorov predicts the Russian military will be far less effective in practice than its reputation would suggest.
The new docuseries goes into the writer's room to discover the sports biggest and baddest origin stories. HBO Max's new raunch-com takes viewers to the place the adult entertainment industry calls home. When Jin Ha first auditioned for the role of Solomon Baek in Apple TV+'s Pachinko, he thought that he'd never get the part. In this multilingual series, where the emotionally epic story of one immigrant family is told across four generations and three languages, Solomon, a man of Korean descent raised in Japan and educated in America, is the most linguistically demanding role. Ha, who speaks Korean and English, but not Japanese, feared that he didn't have what it would take to bring Solomon to life, in all his multicultural complexity. "I was just thrilled that Pachinko was being made, and thought I'd throw my hat in the ring," he tells Esquire. "I thought, 'There's got to be somebody else out there who speaks all these languages."
Get up to 56% off tees, denim, accessories, and more. Why we return to the central tragic figure of The Godfather again and again isn't just for entertainment. It is primal. Just as he presides over his world, we are masters of our dream, and it is a Corleone-like axiom that we can have anything we want—if we want it enough.
