It's too bad -- I was enjoying some Disney/ABC/Hulu content, and looking forward to more. But I won't miss it nearly as much as I miss democracy and the U.S. Constitution.

New York Daily News, July 19, 1937 and July 7, 1940.
A New York Daily News headline from July 19, 1937: "Hitler Ridicules Art Not Painted by Nazis." The first two paragraphs of the article go on to state that Hitler has "announced his Nazi regime would eradicate ruthlessly the last vestiges of the former 'degenerated' era in Germany's artistic life." A headline from the New York Daily News, July 7, 1940: "Hitler Press Lauds Hitler." The brief article goes on to state that "German editors outdid themselves in finding phrases of tribute for Adolf Hitler today on his return to the capital," and then quotes from German newspaper articles calling Hitler "uniter of our nation and creator of our Reich" and more.

I wonder what ever became of me. I should have been back here a long time ago! -- at the Al Jolson Festival with Jan Hernstat and friends.

The image is a screen grab of my subscription cancellation from the Paramount Plus website. When asked my reason for cancelling, I've selected "Other (provide feedback below)," and written in the provided text field: "I am cancelling my subscription because of CBS/Paramount/Skydance's despicable and cowardly acts of surrender to the criminal, fascist regime of Donald Trump. I hope you eventually learn to regret your role in the death of the American republic."

This is just for kicks.
This is an iconic still from THE KARATE KID (1984), altered to show Groucho Marx performing the "crane kick" on the beach with Ralph Macchio.

Well, my friends, it is once again March 22 -- the day we all come together to acknowledge the birthday of both Chico Marx and Stephen Sondheim.
SWEENEY: Say, you look exactly like a fellow I used to know, by the name of Daniel O'Higgins. Are you his brother? PIRELLI: I am Adolfo Pirelli. SWEENEY: You are Adolfo Pirelli? PIRELLI: I am Adolfo Pirelli. SWEENEY: Well, no wonder you look like Daniel O'Higgins. PIRELLI: Now, for pulling a tooth, I get a hundred dollars. SWEENEY: What do you get for not pulling a tooth? PIRELLI: You couldn't afford it. You see, if I no pull a tooth -- (Sweeney murders Pirelli with a straight razor.) SWEENEY: Hey, I think I give one snoop too much. noahdiamond.com

Thanks to the great generosity of friend and Marx Brothers aficionado Lewis Stone, I am now the proud custodian of an authentic period pith helmet -- and jodhpurs (not pictured). So who wants to do ANIMAL CRACKERS?!

I collaborated with Akhil Gupta on some political cartoons back in October of 2020. We certainly didn't want them to increase in relevance.
The image is a political cartoon. Vladimir Putin sits on a golden throne while a bloated, balding Donald Trump with tiny extremities kneels before him. They're surrounded by chaos: the U.S. Constitution is on fire; the State of Liberty is wrapped in caution tape, and the remains of a burnt and tattered American flag lie on the ground. A banner below the image says: "PROMISES KEPT." The cartoon is drawn by Noah Diamond from an idea by Akhil Gupta.

And then there was the time when "a German radio commentator, in a statement believed to have been written by Propaganda Minister Gobbels, said that Adolf Hitler had been saved from assassination by a Divine miracle last July."

(New York Daily News, April 14, 1945)
A partial clipping of a New York Daily News article from April 14, 1945. The headline is "Divinity Saved Hitler, Killed F.D.R.: Berlin." The text of the article reads, in part: "A German radio commentator, in a statement believed to have been written by Propaganda Minister Gobbels, said that Adolf Hitler had been saved from assassination by a Divine miracle last July and that another such miracle had struck the President dead."

Looks like the boss is testing the new driverless cybertruck. (New York Daily News, April 9, 1945)
A news photo from 1945 shows a horse-drawn wagon, with the caption: "In Grossauheim, Germany, dead Nazi soldiers lie in wagon, one with his arm raised in what looks like a Nazi salute. Town was captured by 3d Army."

May the tyrant fail. May he fail so spectacularly that he is crushed by the weight of his failure, so all that remains is a small stain which can be hidden with an area rug. May his collaborators and supporters come to their senses, renounce their party, and spend the rest of their lives apologizing, in song, for their grotesque mistake. May we celebrate the dissolution of the Republican Party, and may a true conservative party rise in its place. That party will be wrong about everything and opposed by most people, but it will be a legitimate party earnestly advocating bad policies, not a malicious hate group committed to the persecution of the vulnerable and the destruction of democracy. May the tyrant trip over his shoelaces and fall down the stairs. May he run into a glass door, believing it to be open. After rising and composing himself, may he run into the glass door a second time, again believing it to be open. May he repeat this several more times, growing ever more enraged. Wow, again? He just keeps - oof. This is getting hard to watch. Okay, I think maybe someone should try to stop him. Or just open the door.

The image shows New York Daily News and New York Times headlines from January 31, 1933, reporting on Adolf Hitler becoming chancellor of Germany. The Daily News headline is "Labor War Near as Hitler Takes Helm in Germany," along with a photo of Hitler captioned "Handsome Adolf in Power." The Times headline is "Hitler Made Chancellor of Germany But Coalition Cabinet Limits Power; Centrists Hold Balance in Reichstag."

Thank you, President Biden. It's been wonderful having a real president for four years. You have been sincere, thoughtful, and well-intentioned. We'll miss that -- even those of us too addled to realize it will miss it.

A still showing David Lynch as Agent Gordon Cole in an episode of "Twin Peaks: The Return." There's a subtitle with the line of dialogue (spoken to a transgender character played by David Duchovny): "And when you became Denise, I told all your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die."

"Special Counsel Report Says Trump Would Have Been Convicted in Election Case"

www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/u...

(I've posted this image to prevent the Times preview from showing you a photo of that despicable criminal's grotesque face.)
The image shows part of a page from special counsel Jack Smith's report, with a highlighted section establishing that if Trump were not on his way back to the White House, he would have been convicted of trying to steal the 2020 election.

DON'T JUST RESIST - OPPOSE: "We must develop & foster new movements, structures, tactics, platforms & leaders to oppose Trump & articulate a positive vision. In most democratic political systems this is referred to as the opposition." - @marcelias.bsky.social

Inside the first O in the word OPPOSE is the Republican Party's elephant logo, with a slash through it. Inside the second O in the word OPPOSE is a silhouetted profile of Donald Trump, also with a slash through it. Design by Noah Diamond, noahdiamond.com, December 2024.

In 2022, I was working on what I thought would be a solo stage show about Jewish identity, with the working title PINTELE. I filled up some notebooks, and wound up with far too much for an evening. But it wasn't a book; too much of it clearly had to be performed out loud. (1/8)
A collage of images associated with the work-in-progress described in the post. Visible in the image are handwritten notebook pages, including one with the heading "The Pintele Yid," and another with a "Pintele" title design suggestive of the logotype for the original Broadway production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. Also partially visible here is a photo of the Yiddish author Sholem-Aleichem, the cover of Leo Rosten's THE JOYS OF YIDDISH, and the cover of the Rabbi Nathan Goldberg Passover Haggadah.
