This is a long one! 83 minutes. This is the second podcast in which we answer questions from a our “ask us anything” post. We recorded this one before our most recent podcast — kind of like Abbey Road and Let it Be — so we were still graced by Vinay’s presence. In fact, we recorded it in his studio. We still have about a half dozen questions to answer; we will cover those on an upcoming podcast. Enjoy.

Every scene of Wim Wenders Perfect Days (2023) is art. The framing, composition and light. The screen print interludes in black and white. And, of course, the stunning performance of the lead actor. The film depicts two weeks in the life of Hirayama, a toilet cleaner in Tokyo, who indeed lives Perfect Days. Koji Yakusho’s near silent performance is deserving of all the accolades it has received and more.

The media coverage of science and medicine has hit rock bottom. As one person puts it. Here are my tips for how to read news stories in the era of biased and weak reporting. Step 1. Fact check the source material. If you read an article that says Jay Bhattacharya supported the use of Ivermectin, locate the raw video or audio. You will find the article is factually wrong. Jay supported conducting randomized trials of ivermectin.
