Just when I think I’m done with the Cold War, it pulls me back in.
What I’m WATCHING now: THE AMERICANS, season 5. Also BETTER CALL SAUL season 3 and THE UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT season 1.
What I’m READING now: Stalin’s Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt’s Government by M. Stanton Evans and Herbert Romerstein. Just finished The Genius of the System: Hollywood Filmmaking in the Studio Era, which is very good. I think I’ll tie the two together by reading Hollywood Traitors: Blacklisted Screenwriters — Agents of Stalin, Allies of Hitler after the Evans & Romerstein book.
What I’m PLAYING now: Twilight Struggle. I highly recommend the iOS or Android apps.

That’s all great and whatnot, but it can’t compare to the new and improved Russian drama unfolding in real time. A real page turner. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Kimmy Schmidt is getting rave reviews in its third season… “the show is fighting even harder against the patriarchy as a whole” (Ben Travers).

LOL, oh great. I thought s1 was pretty funny, and I love Ellie Kemper, but the show is indeed pozzed. People seem to dislike s2, so maybe s3 is trying to win them back by hitting the progressivism even harder.
