JAMES LILEKS’ WEDNESDAY REVIEW OF MODERN THOUGHT:
They revived “The Music Man” in Los Angeles. It is troubling. This review tells you what’s wrong right out of the gate:
“‘The Music Man’ is a joyous love letter to the United States and a celebration of what we can achieve when we come together,” said Kate Horton, the executive producer. “We will ensure our team enjoy the right conditions for creating their most brilliant work and sharing it with the widest possible audience.”
You can see the problems, can’t you?
A love letter to the United States?
A joyous love letter?
“Widest possible audience.” You can’t have that if you want to send a joyous love letter.
A well-deserved Fisking occurs. Ya got one, two, three, four, five, six pockets in a table. Pockets that mark the diff’rence. Between a gentlemen and a bum. With a capital “B” And that rhymes with “read.” So read the whole thing!

HOW DO YOU MAKE UP FOR TWO YEARS IN PRISON ON A BOGUS CONVICTION WHEN YOU’RE 83? Bill Cosby’s Sex Assault Conviction Overturned by Court. “Cosby has served more than two years of a three- to 10-year sentence at a state prison near Philadelphia. He had vowed to serve all 10 years rather than acknowledge any remorse over the 2004 encounter with accuser Andrea Constand.”
The — common — practice of punishing people who maintain their innocence more severely because they didn’t show “remorse” is barbaric. It’s not about justice, it’s about demanding submission.

● Shot: Eric Adams suggests ‘irregularities’ as New York City mayor’s race tightens.
According to New York City Board of Elections officials, the final results from New York City’s first ranked-choice-voting primary, a hotly contested Democratic contest, may not be tabulated until July.
In ranked-choice voting, voters can list up to five candidates. If no candidate gets at more than 50% in the first round, voting tabulation continues in additional rounds. The candidate who places last in each round is eliminated, and those votes are shifted to the voter’s next-choice candidate.
“The vote total just released by the Board of Elections is 100,000-plus more than the total announced on election night, raising serious questions,” Adams said in a statement Tuesday.”We have asked the Board of Elections to explain such a massive increase and other irregularities before we comment on the Ranked Choice Voting projection.”

● Chaser:
As Allahpundit writes, “It would be a phenomenal troll by Trump if he issued a statement expressing solidarity with Adams in his pursuit of ‘election integrity’ in NYC.”
UPDATE (6/30): Here we go! Trump Compares NYC Mayoral Race to 2020 Election: ‘An Embarrassment and Total Mess.’
“Just like in the 2020 Presidential Election, it was announced overnight in New York City that vast irregularities and mistakes were made and that Eric Adams, despite an almost insurmountable lead, may not win the race,” the former president said in a statement on Wednesday.
Trump went on to state that “nobody will ever know who really won” the race and suggested the New York City Board of Elections should “close the books and do it all over again.”
Confusion gripped the city’s mayoral race on Tuesday night after preliminary tabulations from the elections board showed candidate Adams crossing the 50 percent threshold after 11 rounds of ranked-choice voting for the Democratic primary.
After criticizing the 2020 election so severely, why can’t leftist New York get their own elections right?

GREAT MOMENTS IN MAGICAL THINKING: Star Wars prompts fan backlash for removing ‘Slave-1’ ship name.
“Star Wars” fans are outraged — again — over a decision to remove the “Slave-1” name from one of their iconic space cruisers.
Disney has quietly dropped the moniker — which some fans consider canon to the franchise — from the ship that belongs to intergalactic bounty hunter Boba Fett
The change came to light with LEGO’s latest “Star Wars” build, a 478- piece set to create Boba Fett’s “Starship,” as it’s now dubbed.
“We’re not calling it Slave I anymore,” said LEGO “Star Wars” lead designer Michael Lee Stockwell, Jedi News reported. “Everybody is [dropping the name],” he added, apparently referring to Disney studios.
