Odd Censorship

As most everyone knows, Facebook is on a censoring jag. Two of my blog posts have disappeared, as if they were advocacy for what was displayed. The first was from two weeks ago and featured a pic of the great Ben Kingsley playing the part of Nazi war criminal Adolph Eichmann in Operation Finale (2018), which is about the latter’s trial and capture, which people of good will hailed. Yesterday’s featured the painting Judith Beheading Holofernes, which may be by Italian master Caravaggio. Funny, but I chose to feature that pic instead of one of a Collusion/Delusion T-shirt, since I don’t like to post political stuff on my feed, although there is frequently some in the blog. In case you missed them, here are the shots deemed offensive:

I think FB’s management is a little confused about appropriate content. I still love the site. Zuckerberg and company own it and are privileged to run it as they see fit, even wrongly. Here’s a pic that should satisfy the censors:

From today’s NY Post, edited by yours truly: There’s more good news on the economic front. Last year 108,000 foreign millionaires moved to the USA, a 14% increase from the previous year, almost double the 2013 figure.

Finally, a turn in the weather. My thanks to the kind folks who bought wares on this gorgeous day. Among the stuff that sold: Our Crowd: The Great Jewish Families of New York by Stephen Birmingham, Treblinka by Jean-Francois Steiner and Simone de Beauvoir; a paperback about dogs; three novels in Russian; a DVD of four Bogie movies; The Storyteller by Harold Robbins; I, Alex Cross by James Patterson; A Good Yarn by Debbie Macomber; and a sci-fi paperback. Matt purchased Underground, an Andrew Vachss graphic short story collection. I’d never heard of him, although he’s had at least 40 books published, most of them crime novels, five short story collections, three plays, and a number of graphic works. A native New Yorker, he’s also an attorney representing only children and adolescents. He worked in Biafra when that country experienced its worst times, and barely survived. Here’s a panel from Underground, illustrated by Frank Caruso:
